Following this Tuesday’s practice session, Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson spoke to the media and answered several important questions.
It was announced on Monday that the Browns QB would be facing two more lawsuits. That would push the total count to 26.
Watson was asked by Browns reporters why people should believe him over the 26 women alleging sexual misconduct.
“I understand that question and I definitely respect it,” Watson said. “… I’ve been honest and I’ve truthful with my stance, I never forced anyone, I never assaulted anyone.”
The former Houston Texans QB also touched on the latest story from the New York Times that stated he worked with 66 massage therapists in a 17-month span.

“I don’t think so,’’ he said, adding that he and his lawyers have looked into it and that doesn’t seem to be correct.
Watson stated he has no regrets about his behavior during the massage appointments, but does regret that his words during his introductory press conference—that he has no regrets—triggered so many people. He understands how many people have been hurt by sexual misconduct.
