Two plaintiffs, Ashley Solis and Kyla Hayes, gave their first national TV interviews on HBO’s Real Sports With Bryant Gumbel on Tuesday evening. In the interview with Soledad O’Brien, each detailed their experiences with Deshaun Watson and commented on the quarterback’s new contract.
The Browns traded for Watson in March and signed him to a five-year contract worth a guaranteed $230 million. Solis said in the interview that “it’s just like a big ‘screw you.’ That’s what it feels like. That we don’t care. He can run and throw, and that’s what we care about.”
