The attorney for the woman who earlier this month became the latest plaintiff to file a lawsuit against Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson alleging sexual assault during a massage session has accused Watson's attorneys of trying to "victim-shame" and "bully" her client into dropping her lawsuit.

In the lawsuit filed earlier this month, the woman, who initially sued Watson under the pseudonym Jane Doe before amending the suit to include her name after a court order, alleged that Watson attempted to pressure her into "massaging his private area" and having sex and, ultimately, "was able to pressure her into oral sex" during a December 2018 massage at the Houstonian hotel.
