Tony Buzbee, the attorney for the 22 women suing Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson, expressed concern to a Houston television station on Wednesday over how the National Football League is handling its investigation. The lawsuits allege sexual assault and inappropriate conduct.
Buzbee, in speaking to Fox 26 in Houston, said "some of the women did not feel like they were being respected" during their first three meetings with NFL investigators, which he told Fox led to him attending the four meetings between the league's investigative group and his clients.
Buzbee told the television station that four of his clients met with the league's lead investigator, Lisa Friel, and he has "probably four more women who want to meet with the NFL," but he's not sure whether he's going to let them speak with the league's investigators.
