Deshaun Watson Plaintiffs Ordered to Attach Names to Lawsuits in Emergency Hearings

Several plaintiffs in the lawsuits filed against Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson will be required to refile their lawsuits using their real names.

Per ESPN's Sarah Barshop, two judges ruled during emergency hearings on Friday that 13 of the women suing Watson have to refile under their real names.

All of the women who filed lawsuits against Watson used the Jane Doe alias in their original filings.

According to Barshop, Watson's lawyer, Rusty Hardin, argued during the Friday morning hearing that Buzbee was using the women's anonymity to "kill the reputation" of his client.
