A new lawsuit was filed Wednesday against Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson.
According to Samantha Ketterer of the Houston Chronicle, a makeup artist in Houston, filed the lawsuit, saying the quarterback sexually assaulted and harassed her on two separate occasions in September and November.
Heretic noted that this brings the total number of lawsuits against Watson to 22 after one woman dropped her case Tuesday.
The latest case includes agreements with many others, as Watson allegedly reached out to the makeup artist on social media, exposed himself during the sessions and asked her to touch his penis.
‘The plaintiff was mentally beaten. ‘The pressure of Watson’s relentless command that forced her against her left her powerless,’ reads the lawsuit.
The lawsuit also states that the woman “now feels ashamed, embarrassed, deeply upset and confused by Watson manipulating the massage and her into sexual coercion.”
ESPN’s Sarah Barshop reported lawyer Tony Buzbee also represents the woman who filed the most recent case.
Barshop also reported that 20 women who have filed lawsuits and who are represented by Buzbee have changed their complaints to include their names after two judges ruled Friday that the majority of the plaintiffs should do so.
Watson and attorney Rusty Hardin denied the allegations, saying sexual encounters are consensus.
