Both lawsuits allege inappropriate conduct from QB Deshaun Watson during massages on two different occasions by two different massage therapists.
Deshaun Watson is facing a second civil lawsuit, and two more could be filed in the coming days, Houston attorney
Tony Buzbee posted on social media Wednesday.Both lawsuits allege inappropriate conduct during massages on two different occasions by two different massage therapists.
According to ESPN, the second lawsuit says, "Watson's behavior is part of a disturbing pattern of preying on vulnerable women."
In the latest filing, Watson allegedly booked the massage through Instagram, and flew the massage therapist from Atlanta to Houston in August 2020. The lawsuit states that she arrived at the hotel where the massage was to take place, but when she went to the room, the Texans quarterback was nude and allegedly refused to cover up with a towel despite multiple requests.
The filing also says that he inappropriately touched the woman.
The first lawsuit was filed on Tuesday and appeared on the Harris County district clerk's website Wednesday morning. The incident took place in March 2020, and the lawsuit says it was "apparent that Watson wanted the massage for only one reason—sex."
"As she was trying to figure out how to extricate herself from the situation, Watson continued to aggressively attempt to steer the conversation to how Plaintiff was not rubbing him the way he wanted. Several times he specifically kept trying to direct her to his penis," the lawsuit says. "At one point, he purposely exposed the tip of his penis from under the towel."
The lawsuit claims the quarterback was "fully erect," and he "moved his body so he could expose himself more." It also alleges Watson "purposefully touched the Plaintiff's hand" with the tip of his penis.
The Plaintiff, listed as "Jane Doe" in the case, quickly ended the session, and according to the lawsuit, Watson told her, "I know you have a career and reputation, and I know you would hate for someone to mess with yours, just like I don't want anyone messing with mine."
Buzbee, who represents the Plaintiffs in both cases, said on social media that four cases against Watson, but only two have been filed so far.
ESPN reported that the Texans issued a statement earlier on Wednesday.
"We became aware of a civil lawsuit involving Deshaun Watson through a social media post last night," the team's statement said. "This is the first time we heard of the matter, and we hope to learn more soon. We take accusations of this nature that involve anyone within the Houston Texans organization seriously. We will await further information before making any additional statements on this incident."
Watson responded to the claims from Buzbee on social media Tuesday night, denying the allegations. Watson said Tuesday that he had not seen the complaint yet.
