Deshaun Watson’s lawyer Rusty Hardin has come out swinging.
He has released a statement saying that he believes the women are lying and are only in it for the money.
He uses this one woman as an example.
I believe that any allegation that Deshaun forced a woman to commit a sexual act is completely false. And in the one case in which we have been able to identify a plaintiff, we have strong evidence showing the allegation is false. In January of this year, a woman attempted to blackmail Deshaun by demanding $30,000 in exchange for her “indefinite silence” about what she stated was a consensual encounter.
Hardin goes on to say he has spoken to many massage therapists and they all said Watson is a gentleman.
He says Tony Buzbee is creating a circus-like atmosphere and won’t release the names of the other women involved for them to investigate.
