The Houston Texans have been sued for allegedly enabling former quarterback Deshaun Watson’s behavior during massage therapy sessions.
The lawsuit filed on Monday in Harris County, Texas, accuses the team of being aware of Watson’s alleged behavior during massage therapy sessions, and that “individuals within the Texans organization knew or should have known of Watson’s conduct.”
The lawsuit also states that the Texans provided Watson with resources to conduct his therapy sessions, including “rooms set up for him at the Houstonian Hotel, massage tables provided to him for private massage sessions, and a NDA provided to him from the head of Texans’ security.”
“We are aware of the lawsuit filed against us today,” the Texans said in a statement on Monday. “Since March 2021, we have fully supported and complied with law enforcement and the various investigations. We will continue to take the necessary steps to address the allegations against our organization.”
