On Friday, Houston-based lawyer Tony Buzbee gave the country an update on the troubling allegations surrounding Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson.
After stating that he is now representing 12 women now and talking to another 10 additional women about the Texans QB, Buzbee said that he’s been contacted by the Houston Police Department.
On Twitter, the Houston Police Department put out a statement denying any contact with Buzbee.
“At this time, HPD is unaware of any contact between HPD and Houston attorney Tony Buzbee regarding the allegations contained in his recently filed lawsuits and no incident reports regarding these allegations have been filed in our jurisdiction,” the Houston Police Department said in a statement.
After getting called out, Buzbee took to Instagram and provided a screenshot that shows he was contacted by a detective about the case.
“HPD, for whatever reason, claims now they haven’t had contact with me regarding the Deshaun Watson situation. I guess, technically, they are correct. The truth is, a detective I know reached out to me. And I’ve made clear that when my clients are ready we will submit a package to the police. Competence HPD!”

Watson has remained quiet since putting out a statement after the first allegation. His lawyer, Rusty Hardin, had this to say:
“I’m extremely proud to represent Deshaun Watson and wholly stand behind him against what we believe are meritless allegations,” Watson’s lawyer, Rusty Hardin, said. “However, we will wait to comment in detail until we’ve completed our review of the numerous, evolving allegations from Mr. Buzbee. We will responded next week and ask you to keep an open mind until we do so.”
