Both sides agreed that a settlement was demanded last Monday from Buzzbe. Buzzbe even said he sought an out of court settlement through Watson’s agent.
We have both systems for a reason, and both are 100% legitimate. The burden of proof is on the accuser, and too many people doubt this type of accusation, especially when a celebrity is involved. Without physical evidence, these crimes will almost never be punished. That's how people like Cosby get away with it for so long.
Without physical evidence, why are we assuming a crime was committed? Granted, it doesn't mean it didn't actually happen. But some form of evidence needs to be produced before we start deeming guilt. For the record, I call text messages or any other form of digital communications "physical" evidence.
I am not assuming anything. But I believe that there is a bonfire's worth of smoke here. Heck, there is a forest fire's worth of smoke here.

But here is the thing. Buzbee has been engaging in threats of this becoming a criminal case yet he refuses to turn everything over to the law. He constantly is saying “this isn’t about money”, but yet both sides have indicated that he tried for a settlement last Monday. Both of those facts really points to this IS about money and he has probably 2-3 cases that could potentially win but everything else is being done to win the public support.
The women and Watson will decide this, not you or me or the attorney. What is important is that these women be satisfied - not you or me.
That’s assuming this allegations are true... something none of us know at this point. But if they are then yes I hope they are.
I would be willing to bet a great deal of money that this happened to all or most of these women. Not because I know any more than you do, but because the number of women who make false accusations like this is vanishingly small. The idea of 16 different women doing so - that is something that stretches credulity.
Look let’s call a truce on this because we are just going to keep talking past each other. Ultimately we are coming from opposite sides of this but we ultimately want the same thing. I want to see justice no matter what way it turns out.
I wouldn't be surprised, though if true, and they knew about it, then they are just as culpable as he is.What is a bit coinky-dinky (or maybe not) is the timing of these things coming out and that the lawyer is a neighbor of Texan's owner. I wonder if the Texans have known about these things and seeing Watson has basically given them the middle finger, they are now saying "okay, well here's our middle finger". Far fetched, or maybe not?
I think you're right. This is not going to end well for him and rightfully so. The next one who should be sweating is the Texans' organization to whether or not they knew about these allegations last year. The question is beginning to be asked by more than just internet message boards.
Not sure if this is still the case or not, but NFL teams used to have "fixers" for issues like this. If the Texans had Watson working with a fixer, the paper trail would not have happened. It is possible that the Texans did not know. If they did, they certainly didn't give Watson helpful advice.
Unless this goes to criminal court then I doubt he receives the NFL black ball. Antonio Brown just caught a touchdown in the Super Bowl and he has a thesis’s worth of domestic violence and other criminal offenses still pending. Yet multiple teams are open to get him. The NFL isn’t as family oriented as many think. Talent is the ultimate deciding factor. Is it right? No but it’s the truth.
Oh just wait. We are about to have 10 million threads about AJ Mccarron again. Then 20 million on the guy that beats him out or replaces him.
