Man there's no good end to this...

If Deshaun truly is a sexual predator his career is deservedly over and Jack Easterby wins yet again. Even if Deshaun settles this out of court the rumors will follow him forever.

If it's not true and Buzbee is fabricating a monstrous lie then it seriously hurts legitimately sexually assaulted women, especially those in Houston where it's already a huge problem.

If the Texans are helping Buzbee fabricate that monstrous lie I'm utterly done with the Texans, like How Bout Them Cowboys and never appear on my TV again level done.

This isn't looking good for Deshaun at all. It takes big balls to demand trades when you have this stuff hanging over your head.

(if this stuff isn't true, it wasn't hanging over his head when he demanded the trade)

That's another part of what makes this really suspicious.

Not to this extent, but he knew there was a six figure settlement request before the trade demand. I don't think he expected it to snowball like this (Or he's someone who thinks he's above all of this, which...is pretty gross).

Yeah the request to the court is the 500$ minimum assuming the accusers exist so this is entirely about outing him. I doubt he knew this was coming when he put in the request.

How do you think attorneys get rich as poo poo? Civil attorneys make money with settlements not court hearings. Court hearings are expensive as gently caress, they preclude you from doing other things, and you don't always win. You always win a settlement.

If this is a ploy to leverage Watson then the threat of leaking the settlement would work pretty well. Why would Watson make up a story about being approached?

The request is for at least $500, because that's boilerplate language to satisfy the court that it has authority to hear the case. I've been similarly vague in multi-million dollar cases where either the damages hadn't been calculated yet, or where no one wanted to be specific.

Pointing to it as though it has some relevance on the damages sought is a sleazy lawyer trick to mislead people that aren't familiar with jurisdiction requirements.
