Deshaun Watson accused of sexual assault

The Houston Texans' Deshaun Watson took to social media late Tuesday night to deny an apparently forthcoming sexual assault lawsuit that was revealed on Instagram by attorney and failed Houston mayoral candidate Tony Buzbee.

Buzbee disclosed the alleged litigation in a vague post on his verified social media account at nearly 10 p.m. CT, referencing “behavior” by Watson toward Buzbee’s client as the driving factor for the lawsuit in question. Fox 26 affiliate in Houston then reported that Buzbee told the station that Watson allegedly “went too far” while getting a massage from a female masseuse who is apparently being represented by Buzbee.

While Buzbee’s allegation and media post were vague, Watson responded to them with a statement posted on his social media accounts in which he said he had not seen the complaint, but that he believed the action to be an extension of a “six-figure” settlement demand that was apparently made before the suit was allegedly filed. Watson said in his statement that he had rejected the settlement demand and would clear his name with his responses.
