The truth is usually somewhere in the middle and we’re getting closer.
Recently video emerged depicting Quarterback Deshaun Watson being forced to leave a bar in Tuscaloosa. Watson entered expecting the same experience that any other paying customer received. Instead he faced hecklers and came face to face with a pair of Ex-Alabama players. Ex-Alabama Standout Ryan Anderson was one of the two gentlemen who confronted Watson. According to his side, he was just trying to help. TMZ has more.
Ex-Alabama football star Ryan Anderson says he did not threaten Deshaun Watson and force him out of a Tuscaloosa bar this weekend … claiming he only got involved to HELP the QB. Anderson — a projected NFL Draft pick — was seen on video along with Tide alum Wallace Gilberry talking to the ex-Clemson QB right before he was escorted out of the Innisfree Irish Pub on Friday night.
Multiple reports say Anderson and Gilberry told Watson to leave — but Anderson’s rep tells TMZ Sports that’s NOT the whole story. We spoke with Anderson’s publicist, Bob Broderick, who says Ryan and Wallace only approached Watson because some patrons were getting hostile toward him. Broderick says Anderson suggested Watson leave before the patrons escalated the situation — and Anderson even offered to pick up Watson’s tab as a friendly gesture. “Bottom Line, Ryan didn’t ask Deshaun to leave,” Broderick says … “and they have since talked after the incident.”
The truth always comes out. Anderson could of been playing the role of good samaritan. I’d love to hear Watson’s account.
