Houston attorney Tony Buzbee files second lawsuit against Texan QB Deshaun Watson

HOUSTON – Houston attorney Tony Buzbee filed a second lawsuit Wednesday over the misconduct of Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson.

The second lawsuit comes hours after Buzbee filed the first eight-page lawsuit against Texans QB on Tuesday night.

Buzbee, who made the announcement on social media, said his team will file the second of four cases on behalf of the women against Watson.

The lawsuit, filed in Harris County Court, claims that Watson contacted the masseuse who runs her own massage therapy business in Atlanta, Georgia on Instagram, on August 14, 2020, and flew her to Houston for her services. .

The process read in part: “The applicant usually offers professional massages in people’s homes and hotels. The plaintiff had never had any contact with defendant Watson prior to this message. The applicant had never worked with athletes from the Texan organization. The applicant found it somewhat strange that an NFL player would look for a message from her because she was not, however, a well-known masseuse and believed that a player like Watson probably had access to an entire team of coaches. However, at the same time as the applicant, like many small business people, actively sought to grow its business and expand its customer base, the applicant was delighted and encouraged by the fact that a football player professional would like to use their services. ”

Watson and the masseuse exchanged several Instagram messages, according to Watson, in which she described what she was looking for and told the masseuse that she wanted to focus specifically on “her buttocks and groin area and asked if she was comfortable working on zone. “

The lawsuit claims that Watson and the masseuse continued their conversation over the phone and decided to set up a meeting in Houston on August 28, 2020, at the Houstonian hotel, club and spa.

Watson flew with a masseuse to Houston, Atlanta, according to the lawsuit. When the masseuse met Watson at the hotel, the lawsuit claims that he completely undressed and climbed on the massage table with his “penis” fully revealed.

The lawsuit also alleges that Watson specifically asked the woman to work on the “inside of her anus” and the “genitals.”

When Watson overturned his back, claiming the trial, the masseuse gave him a towel to cover himself, but he refused. Soon, the masseuse claims in the process that she became uncomfortable and stopped the massage and asked to leave.

Watson grabbed her hand and began rubbing her arm, pulling her toward him, saying, “It’s okay, it’s okay.” The plaintiff withdrew “, according to the trial.

The lawsuit says the masseuse received only half of her payment from Watson, but was too bothered to look for the other half. The lawsuit also alleges that Watson contacted the woman Monday after saying she was in Atlanta and asked if she was available.

The massage therapist is looking for “minimal compensatory damage” and “suffered mental anguish as a result of Watson’s behavior,” the lawsuit said. The lawsuit says she was always a professional, but sometimes she blames herself. The trial says he has suffered panic attacks and suffers from depression and anxiety – all while seeking advice to address them, he says.

The trial calls for a jury trial and notes that the applicant “made a bona fide effort to resolve this issue before the trial”.

KPRC2 legal analyst Brian Wice says it will be up to a jury or judge to decide who is telling the truth.

“This is a case where she said she said it,” Wice said. “The courthouse exists so that citizens can resolve their differences on the basis of evidence, because not what we know is what we can prove.”

Buzbee said that since he filed his first sexual assault case against Watson on Tuesday, he has received several death threats and several people have harassed his children.

“The guilt of the victim’s (or lawyers’) mentality is alive and well !! I like football as much as the next person (although I’ve never been a Texan fan). But I don’t like it that much. It makes me shake my head that people are so passionate about football to the point of irrationality, while at the same time they would care less about who will be the mayor or the president “, read, partially, the post on social media of to Buzbee.
