This was a pretty incredible press conference from Rusty Hardin on behalf of Deshaun Watson.
Here are some of the take away from it.
You can see my entire Twitter thread on it here.
- Deshaun Watson didn’t attend because he wasn’t going to answer questions.
- Watson has been getting 2-3 massages a week for over four years.
- Watson got over 150 massages during the COVID pandemic.
- Watson lives on Instagram and it wasn’t unusual for him to conduct business there including booking his own massages.
- Watson did have sexual encounters during some massages but the women wanted it to happen and it was consensual.
- A ballet dancer said Watson getting his anus oiled was good for him moving around the pocket.
- Watson can’t eat or sleep.
- If a massage therapist was uncomfortable with something Watson immediately stopped.
- Hardin says he doesn’t think it is unusual for people to be fully naked with no towel during massages.
- Hardin won’t keep accusers name private wants the public to do their own investigating.
Hardin isn’t denying freaky stuff that went on during some of Watson’s massages what he is arguing that it was never forced or coerced and it was all consensual.
