Footage from Deshaun Watson’s deposition has been released where he spoke on driving out of town for a massage, bringing his own towel and his team had no idea.
According to Total Pro Sports;
Watson was asked if he sought out a massage from one of the women because he thought she was attractive, but he would not give a direct answer to it because he had a girlfriend.
“I can’t answer that,” Watson said. “I have a girlfriend, so that wasn’t my intention.”
When asked if the woman was licensed or trained, Watson said he was not sure.
In the deposition, Watson also faced questions about driving about half an hour out of town, bringing his own towel, just for him to get a massage. The attorney asked if he thought that was a little “bit weird.”
“It is what it is,” Watson said.
The wife of former Cleveland baseball player Jim Thome, Andrea Thome announced via Twitter that her family canceled their season tickets for Browns games after the team introduced quarterback Deshaun Watson.
Her tweet read;
“Officially cancelled our Browns season tickets today and asked for a refund as they were paid in full. Very sad after 40 years as a fan, but this is my line in the sand. I believe women. Especially when there are 22 of them. That press conference did nothing to change my mind.”
During the press conference, Deshaun Watson denied allegations of assaulting, harassing, or disrespecting any woman.
This is pretty mundane stuff to be honest from the depositions. There isn’t any type of smoking gun at least in those small snippets. They just reinforce what we already know, that Watson liked to get massages from IG models that sometimes finished with happy endings.
The question has never been about if the happy endings happened but if they were a bit consensual.
