Seems we have only seen the tip of this iceberg.

Quote

Most of the women Watson saw for massages did not sue or call the police. But even some who did not complain said Watson came looking for sex.

 

The woman who sold bottles of cleanser to Watson had a few appointments with him during the summer of 2020. This aesthetician, who spoke on condition of anonymity to protect her privacy, told Watson when he booked an appointment that she was licensed only to give him a back facial. But she said in an interview with The Times that he got fully undressed and directed her toward his groin. While she said there was no sexual contact, she believed that he was seeking more than a professional massage.

 

Watson and his lawyers have said he was only seeking massages. The lawyers have acknowledged that Watson had sexual contact with three of the women who have sued him. But the sexual acts took place after the massages, they said, and were initiated by the women. Asked whether he was asserting that Watson never had sexual contact with any other massage therapists, Hardin didn’t respond.

 

Another woman who spoke to The Times, a physical therapist who did not sue Watson, said he initiated sexual contact in all three of their appointments.

 

This woman, who spoke on condition of anonymity to protect her privacy, said in an interview she began by working on Watson’s back. But when he flipped over, she said his demeanor and voice changed, and he began aggressively dictating where he wanted her to touch him. In their first session, she said he got into the happy baby yoga pose — on his back with his feet in his hands — and asked her to massage between his testicles and anus. She laughed off the request but said he grabbed her wrist and put her hand there.

 

The woman said Watson twice initiated sexual intercourse, once by pulling down the scrubs she was wearing. She and Watson knew each other from around town and were on friendly terms, and she admitted she let him proceed with these sexual acts. “I just didn’t know how to tell him no,” she said.

One can only hope the NFL does the right thing.

Don't worry everyone! The Browns did "extensive" due diligence!!! 

 

 

 

Going to go out on a limb and assume the NYT piece really caught them off guard then

Pretty clear this dude is an awful

human and here is my prediction of his consequences 

[YoloinOhio]

4 times in his introductory press conference: “I have never disrespected a woman in my life”

NY Times is reporting that Watson utilized the services of at least 66 massage therapists over 17 months...and that the Texans knew about it and even provided him non-disclosure agreements for the women to sign...all totally normal.

This feels like putting unleaded gas in his diesel truck might have been the smartest he ever looked!  What a friggin’ disaster!   😂

What a low-life pervert, but the woman pimp who took $5,000 from Watson will probably get in more legal trouble than Watson because she ain’t rich and famous and can’t afford a lawyer like Hardin.

She's lucky he has cases outside the ones she gave him, could have totally seen them try to spin this as him seeking a certain thing and she was the one who didn't tell them before they got there.

Live look-in at Browns PR Department  (Note:  no degrees of separation from Kevin Bacon)

I genuinely feel for Browns fans.  Most seemed to be against this signing when it happened.

 

Teams have to start drawing some lines. Winning is NOT everything.  There are obviously players who have done questionable things on every squad - but there is a line, and we kind of know it when we see it.

“Rumors”? … bruh better get on the same page as your clown show legal team

So he's quoting lyrics I guess, but what's the message he's not replying while also still replying?

I don’t know which is a worse look from the browns FO and ownership - that they did know all this and did this deal anyway or their “extensive research” was so shoddy they didn’t know all of this and just did this egregious fully guaranteed deal anyway. They crazy part is they didn’t NEED to do this - they chased him and chased him and begged him to lead their franchise. They brought this all on themselves. Jimmy Haslam’s ego has no bounds. Their “Chief Strategic Officer” Paul Depodesta is cashing paychecks with a ski mask on.

If the Texans knew and hid this all while providing the non-disclosures, then the trade should be voided.  That's like selling a business with millions in hidden debt.
