Tony Buzbee, the lawyer representing all 24 women who have filed civil
lawsuits against Deshaun Watson, said his law firm will "soon be joining
the Houston Texans organization and others as defendants" in the lawsuits against the quarterback.
On Tuesday, the New York Times reported that the nondisclosure agreement
Watson gave to some of the plaintiffs to sign came from the Texans'
director of security, Brent Naccara. The Times also reported that the
Texans provided a hotel room at The Houstonian, where several of the
massages took place.
"What has become clear is that the Houston Texans organization and their contracting 'massage therapy company' facilitated Deshaun Watson's
conduct," Buzbee said in a statement. "In many of these cases, the Texans provided the opportunity for this conduct to occur. We believe the Texans organization was well aware of Watson's issues, but failed to act. They
knew or certainly should have known.
"We intend to make sure all involved in Watson's conduct are held
accountable, in addition to and including Watson himself."
The Texans did not respond specifically to the allegations in the New York Times story, but they have said in several statements that the
organization was not aware of Watson's actions until March 2021 when the
first lawsuit was filed against the quarterback.
There were 23 lawsuits filed against Watson from March 16 to April 14,
2021. One was dropped after the judge ruled each petition had to be
amended to include each plaintiff's name. Last week, two more lawsuits
were filed against Watson, bringing the total number to 24 active civil lawsuits.
Though two grand juries in Texas declined to pursue criminal charges
against Watson earlier this year, the NFL is investigating whether he
violated its code of conduct, and the league interviewed the quarterback
in person last month as part of its investigation. At the league's spring meeting, commissioner Roger Goodell said he thought the NFL was nearing
the end of its investigation but couldn't give a timeline for when a
ruling might be made.
Houston traded Watson to the Cleveland Browns in March after the first
grand jury announced it would not indict Watson on criminal charges.
Watson has denied all wrongdoing.
"What I can continue to do is tell the truth," he said on March 25, his
first and only media interview since joining the Browns. "And that is I
have never assaulted, disrespected or harassed any woman in my life."
