Agree completely, but again, seven is not an insignificant number. Can't readily recall a man accused by seven different women who was innocent, though there may well be examples I'm not recalling or unaware of.
Yeah, but look at the long list of Auburn players who claim they got paid - and we all know they’re lying since Auburn would never do anything like that (blue font).

More twists and turns in this case. Now it seems the "deleted DM's" on instagram were before the first allegation and was just a normal "clean up" of DM account that anyone would routinely do. Also, accuser's lawyers has now decided not to give any of the information he claimed he had to the Houston Police Department, said he would "go elsewhere" with that information. 🤷‍♂️

In regards to the 18 women coming to Watson's defense. I'm not sure how much that will help Watson because shoplifters don't shoplift every time they're in the store, thieves don't steal everything they see, rapists don't rape everyone they come in contact with and serial killers don't kill everyone they meet.

It is possible that Watson didn't make sexual advances to literally every massage therapist he came in contact with, so their testimony, as true as it may be, doesn't automatically mean he didn't make sexual advances toward the ones who are claiming he did.

In a news conference arranged by Houston attorney Tony Buzbee — who represents 22 women who have filed civil suits against Watson — licensed massage therapist Ashley Solis identified herself as the first woman to file litigation against the Texans star. In the process of revealing her identity, Solis went on to make a tearful statement that appeared to be aimed at Watson’s defense team, which has been critical of the use of anonymity in the multitude of civil cases lodging damning claims of sexual assault or sexual harassment against Watson. Buzbee said the statement and account from Solis has been given to the Houston Police Department for further investigation.

“My name is Ashley Solis. Remember that name,” Solis said. “I hope every woman or man out there who is a survivor hears my story. And I hope my story gives them courage to speak out. It has taken me a long time to get to this point — to come out publicly and speak my truth. I know a lot of you are probably wondering who I was or if I even existed. I was afraid. I am not afraid anymore and I do exist. I am here to take back the power and take back control. I am a survivor of assault and harassment. Deshaun Watson is my assaulter and my harasser.”

Look, I'm reasonable. This is starting to resemble the Kavanaugh thing and if you'll recall, it was the later insanity and media overkill that was absolutely unfair that got him through mostly unscathed.

I'm really having to start to wonder AT THIS POINT if there aren't some or maybe A LOT of gold diggers fixing their names to the docket. OR.....my God, this is the biggest pervert we've seen for a long time. This is just short of Harvey Epstein stuff.

And then I wonder if maybe that's why he really wanted out of Houston - but surely he didn't think that he could go hide nowadays, did he?

I cannot imagine Houston wanting to keep him on as a QB and hiring a bunch of women to make these claims. The payouts might cost as much as he earns on his contract.

He seemed like one of the good guys.

So did Bill Cosby.
The one thing that got me on Cosby, though, was that despite being Mr. Family Guy, he admitted - way back in 1997, mind you - to paying a woman to keep quiet about an affair they'd had.

That fact alone made the later charges more believable to me. I never expected perfection, but I'm thinking even then, "Well, okay, you had a fling which kinda ruins your reputation as the family man...and then you were so desperate, you paid money to cover it up. What else did you do?"

I hope that Watson is buried for demanding that these women release their names publicly. This was done on purpose, to try and shame these women into dropping their charges.

Just a little more athlete entitlement, courtesy of the NFL.

I thought OJ couldn’t possibly have done it at first report, either. Then I found out a lot of his warts had been covered over by the press. I suspected he was as guilty the moment he ran, but it was that 911 call from five years earlier where he sounded like a common hit man, yelling, “I’m gonna kill you.” Even most DV cases that escalate to man hits woman don’t involve words THAT level of threat, and this was on tape.

He’d not get away with it nowadays. DNA was too new for folks back then (that and a horrid prosecution).

At one point (early on-when he went in to give his statement to the assigned detectives), he was ready to confess, but he found out how poorly the investigation was run and decided against it.

Putting a racist cop on the case, and Ito’s very liberal rulings on evidence and what is admissible had a lot to do with it. But then again Marcia Clark and Darden were both pretty idiotic and were going up against far better lawyers assembled by Shapiro
