Ashley Solis, the first plaintiff who filed a civil lawsuit against Deshaun Watson, was not one of the 20 plaintiffs who settled their lawsuits against the quarterback Tuesday, attorney Tony Buzbee said in a statement.

Solis filed her lawsuit against Watson in March 2021 and was the first of 25 women who would eventually file suits against the Browns signal-caller.
