The controversy surrounding Clevelenad Browns’ newly acquired quarterback, Deshaun Watson seems never-ending at this point in time. The former Houston Texans man initially had a total of 24 sexual harassment cases against him and has seen the number increase further by 2 more over the past few days.
The latest report published by the New York Times even claimed that he was involved with 66 women over the past 17 months, which contradicted Deshaun Watson’s claims of only having hired 40 masseurs during his NFL career. Along with this, the report also claimed that he sent flirtatious texts to several masseurs and wanted them to perform sexual acts on him, without their consent.

Deshaun Watson claimed he has not forced anyone to do anything, in wake of the news reports published against him
However, in wake of all these reports, the quarterback had remained silent, but he came out and launched a stoic defence of himself while conversing with the media reports. The 27-year-old claimed that he has neither harassed nor assaulted anyone so far and regrets the impact these allegations have made on him and his family over the past few months.
“I do understand that I do have regrets as far as the impact … on the community and people outside of just myself,” Deshaun Watson told reporters at the Browns’ practice facility.
“And that includes my family. That includes this organization. That includes my teammates in this locker room that have to answer these questions. That includes the fan base of the Cleveland Browns. That includes males, females, and everyone across the world. That’s one thing I do regret is the impact that it’s triggered on so many people. It’s tough to have to deal with.”
“Like I said, I never assaulted anyone,” Deshaun Watson continued. “I never harassed anyone. I never disrespected anyone. I never forced anyone to do anything.”
