According to the press release, several of Watson’s accusers will sit down with reporter Soledad O’Brien for their “first ever national TV interview.”
“In the report, they detail the alleged abuse they suffered and share their reactions to Watson’s record-breaking $230 million contract with the Cleveland Browns,” the statement said.
Watson has had a tumultuous last 12 months to say the least, refusing to play for the Houston Texans last season before being traded to the Cleveland Browns in March. On top of all that, he is currently being investigated by the NFL after being accused by more than 20 women of sexual assault.
The former All-Pro quarterback has been cleared of criminal charges by a grand jury but still faces numerous civil lawsuits, as well as potential punishment by the league.
