I\u2019m not naive to that. I know these allegations are very, very serious,\u201d Watson said during the news conference. \u201cBut I\u2019ve never assaulted any woman. I\u2019ve never disrespected any woman. I was raised by a single-parent mom who has two aunties, who\u2019s a sister, and that\u2019s who raised me.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was raised to be genuine and respect everyone and everything around me,\u201d Watson added. \u201cSo I\u2019ve always defended that, and I will continue to stand on that. I just want the opportunity to be able to show who I really am in the community and be hands on and help people and serve other people.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>Watson admitted that the accusations are a \u201cstain\u201d that will be \u201cwith me for a while,\u201d but he insisted that he was innocent of the charges. \u201cI\u2019ve never done these things that these people are alleging,\u201d he exclaimed.<\/p>\n<p>When asked why his claims should be believed over the accusations by so many women, Watson replied that \u201cwhat I can continue to do is tell the truth, and that is I\u2019ve never assaulted or disrespected or harassed any woman in my life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLike I said before, I was raised differently,\u201d he added. \u201cThat\u2019s not my DNA. That\u2019s not my culture. That\u2019s not me as a person. That\u2019s not how I was raised. For me, that\u2019s to continue to push forward and show people who I really am.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For their part, Browns officials, including General manager Andrew Berry and coach Kevin Stefanski, claimed that they looked into the accusations carefully and concluded that Watson was a good hire. The discussion was \u201ca five-month odyssey,\u201d Berry insisted.<\/p>\n<p>However, it has also been <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/news\/browns-confirm-watson-trade-after-extensive-probe\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reported<\/a> that the \u201codyssey\u201d investigation into Watson\u2019s suitability to become a member of the Browns never included talking to any of Watson\u2019s accusers.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B3\" class=\"a8d adSo\"><\/figure>\n<p>Despite Watson\u2019s denials and the Browns\u2019 assurances, people have many questions:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Watson straight up calling all 22 women liars <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/QEnK2wvxS8\">pic.twitter.com\/QEnK2wvxS8<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Computer Cowboy (@benbbaldwin) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/benbbaldwin\/status\/1507412592289284097?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 25, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Let me translate the Browns\/Watson press conference\u2026<br \/>Browns: He&#8217;s a great QB, we gave him the sweetest deal we could, we don&#8217;t care.<br \/>Watson: You got nothing on me, let&#8217;s play ball.<br \/>Jimmy and Dee Haslam: <br \/>(hiding under table)<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Michael Silver (@MikeSilver) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MikeSilver\/status\/1507411645588393988?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 25, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">As long as Watson continues to say he &#8220;didn\u2019t disrespect any woman&#8221; it\u2019s hard to listen to anything else he says.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Gregg Rosenthal (@greggrosenthal) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/greggrosenthal\/status\/1507406508241219585?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 25, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The Browns keep saying they did a comprehensive look at the Watson case but they didn\u2019t talk to any of the alleged victims.
