The saga of Deshaun Watson continues on to this day. The most recent development, of course, is the Cleveland Browns star's accusing going on HBO for an exclusive interview. Despite Watson being cleared of criminal charges, it's clear that his accusers aren't about to let him go scot-free.

Regarding the HBO interview, Deshaun Watson's lawyer had some interesting thoughts on the matter. The Browns QB's Rusty Hardin lawyer was upset at the idea of the interview. Hardin wasn't confident that the special would give a rather “biased” point of view regarding the matter. Here's his statement on the matter. (via Cleveland.com)

“I don’t know what it’s going to be like, but I’m not optimistic,” Hardin told Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer. “I believe they’ll air the accusations of the women without attempting to look behind it to see what kind of merit do they have.”

As a quick refresher, Watson was accused by twenty-two women of sexual assault a few years ago. According to these women, the now-Browns QB requested the services of the women massage therapists. However, Watson would expose himself to said women and sexually assault them. The QB has repeatedly denied these claims.

The criminal cases against Deshaun Watson have since been dismissed by the courts. However, the civil cases against the Browns QB are still ongoing. It's also worth noting that the NFL have launched their own investigation on Watson's case. We will see in the upcoming days what will unfold from this interview AND the NFL's investigation.
