SOURCE SPORTS: Browns QB Deshaun Watson Settles 20 Out of 24 Lawsuits Against Him
Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson has settled 20 out of the 24 civil lawsuits against him. Southeast Texas attorney Tony Buzbee released a statement saying Watson settled all but four of the sexual misconduct suits. The terms and amounts of the settlements are confidential.
Attorney Buzbee announced the agreements on Tuesday, while praising every woman who sued Watson. He plans to represent the four women, including Watson’s first accuser, Ashley Solis at trial who did not settle. Buzbee filed the lawsuits against Watson last year when he was with the Houston Texans.
The women who sued accused Watson of exposing himself and touching them inappropriately during massage appointments, along with harassment allegations. Earlier this year, two Southeast Texas grand juries no-billed and decided not to indict Watson after a police investigation of the claims.
Meantime, the troubles for the QB may not be over. An NFL spokesman said the settlements with 26-year-old Watson “has no impact on the collectively bargained disciplinary process.” The NFL could suspend him if it finds he violated the league’s personal conduct policy.

Louisiana Governor Edwards Signs New Abortion Bills Into Law
Louisiana Governor John Bel Edwards is signing into law two new abortion bills that criminalize providers. Under the new restrictions, abortion is banned in most cases, there are no exceptions for victims of rape or incest.

Edwards, a Democrat, says he believes the bills should have rape and incest exceptions, but he didn’t want to veto the them entirely.
The bills have come under fire from the Biden Administration, with officials calling them “radical” and “extreme”. Criminal charges cannot be brought against a woman who receives an abortion.

Bill Cosby Found Guilty, Civil Jury Awards $500K to Judith Huth
A jury in California decided that comedian, Bill Cosby is guilty of sexually assaulting Judith Huth, a then-teenage girl at the Playboy Mansion back in 1975.
On Tuesday, the jury came back with a verdict in the civil case against Cosby which found him liable and awarded Huth with the sum of $500,000 in damages.
While no punitive compensation was awarded, 84-year-old Cosby, was served a major legal defeat.
“We have always maintained that Judy Huth, Gloria Allred and their cohorts fabricated these false accusations, in order to force Mr. Cosby to finance their racist mission against successful and accomplished Black Men in America,” Cosby’s spokesperson said in a statement following the verdict. “Mr. Cosby continues to maintain his innocence and will vigorously fight these false accusations, so that he can get back to bringing the pursuit of happiness, joy and laughter to the world.”

According to Variety, Huth, who is now 64 years-old accused Cosby of luring her and a friend to the Playboy Mansion a few days after meeting him in a park. She claimed that Cosby took her alone into a bedroom, pulled down his sweatpants and then grabbed her hand in order to masturbate himself, forcing her into a sexual act.
The is the first case to go to trial under the Child Victims Act, which protects adults who suffered abuse as children and come forward with their accounts years later.
Prosecutors say there won’t be criminal charges because the case is past the statute of limitations. Cosby maintains the allegations are false.

Fat Joe Talks OGs “Preserving The Culture” By Giving Wisdom To Next Generation
While we often talk about different areas and how their Rap scenes have become staples in a city’s culture, the Bronx is quite a different story. While the early years of Hip Hop look much different than what we see today, the Bronx is where the genre began and the connection that the borough has to Rap is unmatched. Several of our favorite artists emerged from the Boogie Down including Fat Joe who revisited memories from his youth and recalled seeing so much diversity within Hip Hop.
Joey Crack caught up with HipHopDX and stated that inclusivity has been a cornerstone in Hip Hop since its inception. With so many conversations about who belongs and who doesn’t, Fat Joe speaks on the genre’s diversity.
“I really believe in YOLO—you only live once. You only have one life to live, and I just wanna maximize everything artistically and creatively that I can while I’m here and to leave a legacy long after I’m gone so people could still play my records, play my TV shows every day,” he said. “So, that’s all I’m doing. I’m all about the culture. When I signed in growing up in the Bronx where Hip Hop was created, I was taught to love everybody. I was taught like, Hip Hop is almost a religion.
“It was always diverse. It was always Latino, Black, White, Asian, whatever. We were always taught to embrace everybody who loves Hip Hop music. And so I have an obligation to that, and I have a responsibility to the culture that far exceeds financial gain or wealth. It’s the wealth of the culture, preserving the culture.”
Joe also said that there are young rappers who hit him up with questions or to seek advice. He takes the time to nurture the next generation of hitmakers and he hopes that they not only glean wisdom but pay it forward.
“I tell ’em, ‘Yo, move like this. Watch yourself, too.’ And that’s what it’s all about. And I want them to do the same thing when they become the OGs to the generation behind.”
