And there’s no telling exactly how many more women come out.

Especially since he's now in another city and women no longer have to worry about local wackos pressuring/threatening them, just because they're worried about him playing for their football team. Some people (hell alot these days) are morally bankrupt.

Then Watson appeals, waits another 3 years, and settles for a small fraction of that. Or actually wins the appeal.

I thought you said you were a lawyer.

Well obviously Watson ignores legal advice, because he simply could've settled all of this for a fraction of a fraction of God knows how many millions (much more than a 110 million dollars). :)

Don't forget marketing ability lost, potentially 100s of millions lost. So far team Watson just keeps digging deeper.

Not a Lwyer

A 24th lawsuit will be filed against Deshaun Watson
June 1, 2022, 9:35 AM EDT

Largely lost in the news that a 23rd lawsuit has been filed against Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson is that a 24th lawsuit is coming.

Attorney Tony Buzbee, per multiple reports, said Tuesday that yet another lawsuit against Watson is in the works.


Watson will deny all allegations, as he has throughout this process. But the total number will become two dozen.

Although Watson’s lawyers want to make Buzbee the focal point of the suggestion that it’s all embellished, exaggerated, and/or fabricated, it becomes very difficult for Buzbee, if he’s indeed holding together 24 women with meritless claims, to keep them from eventually getting wobbly. From complaining among themselves or to others that they thought it was going to be a quick and easy payday, that it’s all taking too long, and/or that they “didn’t sign up for this,” something along those lines would have surfaced by now. However, there’s been no indication whatsoever of a fracture or fissure among the plaintiffs who are suing Watson.

While there may indeed be serious weaknesses in one or more of the claims made against Watson, there are now 24 people making those claims. How can a reasonable person accept that all 24 are wrong or lying and/or that Buzbee has somehow engineered without a hitch a conspiracy of women who have weak cases to come together — and to stay together — for nearly 15 months, and counting.

He could still win each of the 24 cases, if they all go to trial. However, anyone who knows anything about how the legal system truly works would have to admit that any given lawsuit aimed at resolving contested facts is a crapshoot, a coin toss. The chances of winning 24 such coin tosses are slim, to say the least.

Through it all, the expanding portfolio of lawsuits continues to provide a very real distraction for Watson, his new team, and its fans — many of whom aren’t comfortable with the situation and many of whom have slipped into predictable, knee-jerk efforts to defend their quarterback, no matter what.
 
From a Florio article about this case:

t’s not entirely clear what Smith hopes to obtain in the way of financial compensation. At the top of page 3, the complaint says this: “She brings this case seeking minimum compensation, but to obtain a court finding that Watson’s conduct was wrong.” At page 11, however, the complaint says this: “Plaintiff seeks any and all damages to which she may be entitled. As stated, Plaintiff also
seeks exemplary damages to deter such conduct going forward, and to make an example of this Defendant.”

As a supposedly sharp attorney, Florio should know that the page 3 phrasing is found in most such civil litigation introductions to get the foot in the door. The page 11 phrasing is then meant to give a better idea what damages will be sought.

A Houston spa owner recently testified that Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson gave her $5,000, and the reason for it was simply because “he’s a nice person,” according to a deposition transcript obtained by USA TODAY Sports.

The spa owner, Dionne Louis, facilitated massages for Watson and helped provide him with women, according to a new lawsuit filed Tuesday against Watson. And now that payment – and why he gave it to her – have come under new scrutiny as Watson faces lawsuits from 23 women who accuse him of sexual misconduct during massage sessions from early 2020 to March 2021.

At least three of the 23 plaintiffs worked for Louis or were otherwise associated with her, according to court records. Louis, who owns “A New U Salon Spa” in Houston, described one of those three plaintiffs as her cousin, a woman who accused Watson of trying to force her to perform oral sex in 2020. Watson, 26, has denied wrongdoing but could be suspended by the NFL if he is found to have violated the league’s personal conduct policy.

Louis “has been identified by several Plaintiffs as someone who was instrumental in setting up the massages between them and Deshaun Watson at her place of business – A New U Spa – knowing full well that she was sending them into danger and knowing that Deshaun Watson was looking for sexual activity rather than a professional massage,” according to court records filed in December by plaintiffs attorney Tony Buzbee.

Louis’ role in Watson’s massages also was cited in a new lawsuit filed Tuesday by the 23rd plaintiff, who worked for Louis at her spa until she said she decided to quit after her third encounter with Watson.

“A New U Salon Spa provided women for Watson,” the woman's lawsuit states. “Dionne Louis, the owner of the spa, facilitated massages for Watson and knew Watson was attempting to have sex with them. Plaintiff expressed her concerns about Watson to Ms. Louis. Louis brushed the concerns off. It was later learned that Watson paid Dionne Louis at least five thousand dollars for Louis’s 'work.’”

Reached by phone Tuesday, Louis told USA TODAY Sports, “All of that is ludicrous.”

Louis also said the newest plaintiff “has a pattern of doing this type of stuff.” She referred questions about the $5,000 to her attorney, who said he doesn’t comment on pending litigation.

Earlier this year, Watson admitted in written questions that his attorney, Rusty Hardin, helped Louis find a lawyer but denied that her lawyer's fees were being paid by him or Hardin.
Louis has been described by the plaintiffs’ attorneys as an uncooperative witness, and the new lawsuit describes her as “very proud to have Watson as a client.” A footnote in the new lawsuit also stated that Louis pleaded the protections of the Fifth Amendment when asked for text messages between her and Watson.

“Louis had emphasized to Plaintiff that she needed to keep Watson happy,” the newest lawsuit states.
Louis testified in a pretrial deposition in May, when she was asked about the $5,000 payment.
“Did you do something for that?” Buzbee asked, according to the partial transcript obtained by USA TODAY Sports.
“What you mean did I do something for it?” Louis replied. “He's a nice person. Like I was in the struggle with COVID, so ...”

She said Watson gave her money only once, according to the transcript.
“And he just gave you that because he was a nice guy?” Buzbee asked.
“Yes,” she replied.
“OK. Because you asked for it?” Buzbee asked.
“Well, it was COVID and it was – he was blessing everybody,” Louis replied. “He had told me a story he blessed some cafeteria workers. He was a nice guy, really, really nice guy.”

She said she needed equipment for her spa: a “butt vacuum machine” that helps with cellulite and a “cryo machine.” But she testified she was having a hard time because of the COVID-19 pandemic and that Watson agreed to help her with $5,000. Her mention of cafeteria workers is an apparent reference to 2017, when Watson donated his first game check to cafeteria employees affected by the devastation of Hurricane Harvey.
An exhibit attached to the 23rd lawsuit filed Tuesday shows an apparent screen shot of a Cash App receipt for $5,000 from Watson to Louis, with the description “for machine.” It's dated Nov. 14 and came in 2020, Buzbee said.
Underneath the receipt, Louis apparently writes to a third party that she wanted $20,000 from Watson but got $5,000. The third party was a woman who became a plaintiff in these cases, according to the transcript. The first lawsuits were filed against Watson in March 2021.

“I told you I’ll show you how to get money from men that’s my specialty,” Louis wrote, according to the exhibit filed in court.
In her deposition in May, Louis said she didn’t remember writing that.
Hardin, Watson’s attorney, said the women are lying and out for money. When asked for comment about Louis and the $5,000, Hardin didn't answer those questions and instead ripped the new plaintiff's credibility, saying she has a vendetta against Watson and has "been acting crazy about Deshaun since November of 2020."
Two grand juries considered 10 combined complaints filed against Watson but declined to indict him on criminal charges. In a previous statement, Hardin noted that only three of the lawsuits “involve any allegation of force.” The others generally describe encounters in which they say Watson exposed himself and caused his genitals to touch them.

“As we’ve said, as Deshaun has insisted under oath, each of those three occasions were consensual and instituted by the women,” Hardin’s statement said last week.
The women say it wasn’t consensual, and one of the three plaintiffs who accuses Watson of sexual assault or coercion is described as the cousin of Louis.
The newest plaintiff said in her lawsuit “she could not refuse Watson as a client because of her boss Dionne Louis.”
Watson recently was traded from the Houston Texans to the Browns, which gave him a record guaranteed contract of $230 million over five years.

Dionne Lewis

Otherwise known as Madame Lewis.

I find it curious that her cousin is one of the plaintiffs.

Some interesting points to be especiallynoted from the article above:

As I read deeper into this case, I always drift back to this article about James Harrison.

www.espn.com

A $300,000 Fountain of Youth? Some NFL players spend big to stay young

James Harrison doesn't mess around when it comes to spending money on his body in order to play the game well into his late 30s. And he's not alone.
www.espn.com www.espn.com

For his muscles to handle the lifting sessions and the NFL grind, Harrison says he needs an acupuncturist, a dry needlist, three massage therapists, two chiropractors and "a person who does cupping."

But Harrison, 39, doesn't surf the net and read reviews like the rest of us. He goes underground for the most exclusive specialists.

"The people I use right now, you can't find none of them on Google," Harrison said.

That's where the $300,000 comes into play. Once he heard about these elite technicians and tried their services, he had to put them on the payroll. They are based in different parts of the country, including California and New York, so he pays their airfare and expenses to get them to town when he needs them.

"I see everybody at least once a week," Harrison said.
Click to expand...

Harrison estimates he has spent the past seven to eight years finding the right concoction of doctors and specialists, which he believes has led to his career longevity. Harrison has produced at least five sacks in each of the past three seasons and signed a two-year extension this offseason.

He has easily spent millions on recovery, though he has signed contracts worth nearly $70 million during his career.
Click to expand...

And then we have Watson…with 40-50 masseuses ranging in skill level and tenure, in which he pays 60-80-100 dollars for a “local” massage session for a treatment that any of us would walk in and request (minus the accusations and butt stuff of course.)

The grotesque display of narcissistic power dynamics and fundamentally absurd arrangement of “therapy sessions” for a multi-million dollar athlete speak plenty to me. And that’s before I let my legally trained brain go to work on these facts.

JWL
 
According to the last complaint, “in an effort to frighten her,” one of Watson’s lawyers told the plaintiff that “they were going to defend the lawsuits to the maximum degree possible.” She also stressed the need of Black women banding together.

Just confirmed that the two attorneys that met with Smith are the only 2 African American attorneys in Hardin's firm....................Letitia Quinones and Rachel Lewis. 🤔

Houston Police matters like this are usually handled by the Harris County DA's office. I find it curious (or maybe not) that the DA's office in this case has been bypassed, with all of the demands being sent directly to the Texas AG's office for evaluation and response guidance..
 
Florio still propagating that all but 4 plaintiffs were willing to settle their cases. But he doesn't make it clear that the 4 would never agree to any settlement under any conditions. The others stated they would entertain a settlement only under the circumstance that there would be no NDA...........a condition that Buzbee and ALL of the plaintiffs knew would never be agreed upon by Watson and his camp. In other words, NONE of the plaintiffs ever intended to agree to settlement.

Deshaun Watson offered each plaintiff $100,000 last year, but required “aggressive” NDA
Posted by Mike Florio on June 2, 2022, 8:03 PM EDT


Buried at the bottom of page 2 of the 23rd lawsuit filed against Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson is nonchalant bombshell.

Here’s the quote, from footnote 2 to the petition filed against Watson by Nia Smith: “Of course, we now know that Deshaun Watson offered each Plaintiff $100,000 to settle their cases, but not all would accept that amount, due to the aggressive nondisclosure agreement that Watson’s team proposed.”
This is an apparent reference to the effort to settle all cases at the behest of the Dolphins, which wanted all cases settled before it would trade for Watson. As PFT reported at the time, 18 of the 22 cases were ready to be settled. Four of the plaintiffs refused.

Based on the language in footnote 2 to the Smith lawsuit, the nondisclosure language derailed the settlement. Attorney Rusty Hardin recently explained in a podcast appearance with Gabe Feldman that the Dolphins wanted the settlements to include the NDA language.

Earlier last year, a settlement of the claims was derailed because attorney Tony Buzbee, who represents all of the plaintiffs, wanted nondisclosure language and Hardin/Watson did not. Hardin told Feldman that Buzbee didn’t want the public to know how little his clients were getting.

By late October, they would have been getting $100,000 each. That’s the exact amount that initially was requested from Watson as an opening position, before the first lawsuit was filed and all legal hell broke loose.

Surely, if Watson could go back to that point and pay the $100,000, he would have. Clearly, he should have.
