Potentially facing a year-long suspension, Watson publicly expressed remorse and contrition for the first time since he was accused of sexually harassing or assaulting the 24 women during therapy sessions in 2020 and 2021. The unexpected press conference to express remorse and contrition (much like the previous settlement cases) takes place in the final hours as Watson and the Browns continue to wait on whether appeals officer Peter C. Harvey will extend Watson's six-game suspension. Peter C. Harvey, a former New Jersey attorney general, was appointed by commissioner Roger Goodell to hear the appeal.
IMO, Those advising Watson...have failed to give him timely advise.
Too late settling the cases and too late apologizing for his conduct during massage sessions.
It's sad, but Watson hired a lawyer that is/was more concerned about his law firm's reputation than he was about Watson.
