Deshaun Watson’s lawyer really did not help his case much at all.
While taking questions during his press conference on Friday, Rusty Hardin thought it would be a good idea to tell the world Watson’s reaction to being told a woman said he forced her to do things, which made him cry.
Hardin, Watson’s lead defense attorney, said there were times when Watson had “consensual encounters” with some of the alleged victims.
“We deeply, deeply do not believe this guy ever did anything nonconsensual with any woman during any of this,” Hardin said. “He didn’t coerce them. We don’t believe he used his position. We don’t believe he intimidated them. We simply do not. Were there sometimes consensual encounters? Yes.”
Hardin also addressed why he would need some many massages from different women.

He attributed it to spas being shut down during the pandemic and Watson searching for therapists via direct messages because “millennials live on Instagram.”
