Judge Rules Woman Suing Deshaun Watson Must Disclose Her Name

Looks like if you’re going to go after the Houston Texans quarterback, you can not remain anonymous. At least in this one case. A Harris County judge ruled that one of the plaintiffs suing Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson must identify herself by refiling her lawsuit with her name attached.

Watson’s attorney filed the emergency motion Thursday, saying, “Mr. Buzbee’s use of anonymous lawsuits violates Texas law and the basic concept of fairness.”

“While I understand that anonymity often is used as a shield for victims, Mr. Buzbee is using it as a sword,” Hardin said in a statement. “While shielding his clients from public scrutiny, Mr. Buzbee continues to use their anonymous allegations to destroy Mr. Watson. This is simply not right. And we look forward to resolving these matters in court.”

Twitter reacted to the news:

Watson has denied the allegations in the lawsuits.

Hopefully if the woman’s name comes out,  she won’t get harassed, but you just know she’s going to have to deal with a lot moving forward.
