Deshaun Watson Massage Investigation: Bombshell Report Reveals NFL QB Saw 66 Therapists in 17 Months

Deshaun Watson has been accused by more than two dozens of women harassing or assaulting them during massage appointments, which Watson and his lawyers claimed were "innocuous."

The New York Times reported that Watson has engaged in more questionable behavior than previously known based on the media outlet's examination of records, including depositions and evidence for the civil lawsuits.

The review of the case also includes interviews with some of the women.

It was reported that Watson's conduct was enabled, knowingly or not, by the team he played for at the time, which was the Houston Texas. The team provided the venue Watson used for some of his appointments.

Rusty Hardin, Watson's lawyer, said his client continues to "vehemently deny" the allegations in the lawsuits.

Hardin refused to answer in detail, but said in a statement that they can say when the "real facts are known, this issue will appear in a different light."

Deshaun Watson has reportedly used "at least" 66 female massage therapists over a 17-month period between the fall of 2019 and the spring of 2021, according to a New York Post report.

The quarterback for the Cleveland Browns has been sued by 24 massage therapists for alleged sexual misconduct.

Another woman filed a lawsuit against him. However, she withdrew her suit.

Two more massage therapists made criminal accusations but did not file a lawsuit, while 15 massage therapists defended Watson with statements of support.

At least four of the therapists worked for Genuine Touch, which is the massage firm hired by Watson's former team, the Texans.

Lawyers for plaintiffs have identified five additional women during the investigation process, while The Times confirmed 15 more women through interviews and records reviews.

A 24th woman filed a lawsuit against Watson on Monday, wherein she accused the quarterback of ejaculating on her during a massage.

He has not been criminally charged but he was traded from the Texans to the Browns this offseason and signed a fully guaranteed $230 million contract.

The Texans did not respond to specific questions about Watson's use of team resources. The team said in a statement that they first learned of the allegations against him in March 2021 and have cooperated with investigators.

Watson also reportedly found a nondisclosure agreement in his locker after one of his accusers threatened to go public with her accusations in 2020.

Fox News noted that the Texans provided Watson with a membership at an "upscale" hotel where at least seven women met him for appointments.

The Browns quarterback was said to have received an NDA from the "head of security for the Texans."

Two of those seven filed civil lawsuits while two others went to law enforcement with complaints.

Watson reportedly used the fitness club, dined there, and also set up massages in hotel rooms.

Meanwhile, an NFL spokesman declined to comment on Watson's legal battle, saying the matter is under review.
