Lauren Baxley is one of the 22 plaintiffs who have active civil lawsuits against Deshaun Watson, and she was one of the first to reveal their identity. Now, Baxley is speaking out about the harassment she has endured as part of the fallout from the two grand jury hearings and subsequent Browns trade.
“Watson’s record $230 million contract, indeed that he is employed at all after his pattern of abuse, is yet another crushing blow to survivors everywhere,” Baxley wrote in a piece published by The Daily Beast. “Testimony is evidence, and two dozen women have testified under some form of oath to his behavior and attacks.”
