Massage Therapist Says Her Texts Were Manipulated To Make Deshaun Watson Look Bad

One of the several masseuses who have come out to say that Deshaun Watson has never acted inappropriately with them was used as evidence against the Houston Texans quarterback during a press conference held by the accusers’ lawyer.

Somehow, the lawyer obtained text messages the masseuse, Jasmine Brooks, sent to a friend on why she stopped working with Deshaun Watson.

The text messages Jasmine Brooks sent read as follows, ““I told you I stopped working with [Deshaun Watson]. Because I was hearing too much stuff about him messing with other people. . . . He’s been doing a lot in the last three or four months. I even told his ass he needed to be careful because his names getting around. I just hope don’t nobody call me to question me.”

Now, Brooks has taken to social media to say that these texts were completely taken out of context by this lawyer, and that she has no idea how they were obtained.

Here’s what Jasmine Brooks wrote:

“Hey guys, I’m sure many of you are aware of the recent news regarding Deshaun Watson, an athlete I formerly worked with, and may have heard my name mentioned in evidence manipulated to be used against him. The following post serves as my statement regarding the allegations and misinformation that has been circulating around the media..

The message thread is a conversation between myself and one of my closest friends. I simply shared that I had already stopped working with Deshaun, for reasons unrelated to his current pending case(s), and that the last few months I had been hearing various things from another therapist who has also worked on him numerous times. However, none of those reasons included any of these accusations he’s facing now, as I had no knowledge of any of those allegations prior to the news break.

I do not know any of the victims personally, nor was the correspondence a shared conversation between a victim and myself. I am unsure how my text to a friend got taken out of context, sent around, and used for this situation. Buzbee is playing a very dirty game and manipulating words to work in the favor of his clients. This deceptive use of my unrelated conversation does not change the fact that I haven’t had a bad experience with Deshaun Watson. In my three years of working with him he has always been professional.

My reasons for ending our professional relationship were simply due to my personal preference of not liking to work behind other therapists—as many of us don’t. Additionally, I have other work and clients that took priority over my shared treatment of Watson, and thought it best his other therapists take over.

As far as the esthetician, there was an esthetician in September that posted Watson’s phone number on her public Instagram page. My warning to Deshaun was that he needs to be more careful with whom he works with because he doesn’t know everybody’s intentions and some people will use his name for publicity, just as they are now.”

More and more people come out for and against Deshaun Watson everyday. We’ll just have to wait and see how this whole investigation plays out. The accusations are certainly troubling…to say the least.
