Deshaun Watson is currently being sued by 19 women for allegedly sexually assaulting them during massages he received while in Houston. Attorney Tony Buzbee is representing all of the women in these lawsuits and they all have similar stories of how Watson booked them for massages and then started to get sexually inappropriate and even did heinous acts without any consent.

In a new story from Sports Illustrated, the publication got to speak with a woman named Mary, who has her very own massage therapist business in Houston. The woman is not one of the people suing Watson, although she did go in-depth on her experience and what Watson did while they were in the room together.

As Mary explains, while Watson did not physically harm her, he did act inappropriately on numerous occasions throughout the massage. For instance, at one point, he completely took off his towel covering while laying on his back, as he reportedly felt itchy. From there, he developed an erection during the massage, which the therapist said is actually normal. However, Watson began to thrust up and down, which Mary felt was suspicious. From there, Watson calmed down but had at one point said she could move his penis if she needed to. Despite ignoring him, Watson began to thrust even more and reportedly had some sort of fluid on his stomach, which horrified Mary.

After the massage, Mary spoke about what happened to her colleagues, who were grossed out by it all. Over the course of the next few months, Watson continued to message her to book an appointment, although she made sure to tell him that she was too busy. As she told SI, she has no interest in money, but she does want to see Watson change his behavior before he harms any more therapists.

These are some heavy allegations and they match up with a lot of what the other women are saying. Of course, these are only allegations, and an investigation is ongoing. At this moment, Watson has denied all wrongdoing.

This year’s NBA season is a bit different due to COVID-19. The typical campaign would start in October and would last all the way until early-mid June. With the pandemic raging on, the NBA was forced to start the season in late December, and now, the playoffs won’t be starting until May. With this in mind, the playoffs are now going to be finishing up in July, just before the Summer Games in Tokyo, Japan.

This has forced the NBA to tinker with its normal NBA Draft schedule, although today, that schedule was unveiled. According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, the NBA Draft Lottery will go down on June 22nd, while the actual draft will be July 29th. As for the combine, that will be a week-long event from June 21st-27th.

There are going to be some big names in the draft this year and teams with poor finishes in the regular season will be hoping for some luck in the lottery come June. Teams like the Minnesota Timberwolves and New Orleans Pelicans have benefitted from the lottery system in the past, and only time will tell who gets the first pick in 2021. Perhaps the T-Wolves have a chance at repeating.

The release of Lil Nas X’s latest music video for “Montero (Call Me By Your Name)” set the Internet ablaze, along with its accompanying sneaker release. The Satanic imagery sent Conservative pundits (and Joyner Lucas) on a downward spiral as they dwelled on the future of the youth and upholding traditional values.

In the midst of all of this happening, right-wing agent Candace Owens somehow managed to drag Cardi B into the mix. It was only a few weeks ago when Candace took issue with songs like “WAP” and “Up” and her concerns with what they’ll do the future of young women. This time, she used the death of George Floyd, Cardi B’s honesty, and Lil Nas X’s Satanic imagery as the real reason “that’s keeping Black America behind” — not white supremacy. Along with Owens, Twitter provocateur Matt Walsh claimed it was Cardi B and Lil Nas X that’s pushing young kids towards a life of criminality.

Cardi B has always been open about her religious beliefs in the past so she found it quite confusing why the imagery of Satan and hell was comparable to her confidence as a woman. “Don’t confuse and compare my sexual confidence with anything that has to do with religion.Ya keep putting me in these tweets and I don’t play that shit .I have very strong faith in God and I don’t play with him neither,” she wrote, adding, “Leave me then fuck alone!”

After a fan claimed that she practices Santaria, to which she replied, “Learn people religion you uncultured swine before you get them confused.”

“My issue is Every time a celebrity facing backlash or some dumb shit like the Dr Seuss & Pepe la peu shit happened people always gotta bring my fuckin name up & shit don’t be having nothing to do wit me .Like .SHIT DONT MAKE SENSE,” she added. Check her tweets below.  

Lil Nas X continues to have people talking about his latest endeavor, which is a shoe with the likes of MSCHF. In fact, MSCHF recently created their very own Nike Air Max 97 for Lil Nas X, although what’s particularly interesting about it is the fact that the midsole is filled with some red ink and even a drop of blood. With one drop of blood being added to all 666 pairs, there had to be a lot of blood drawn, to begin with. In an interview with Complex, the shoe’s creator, Daniel Greenberg, explained where the blood came from.

“Myself and some of my co-workers,” he said simply. Essentially, the blood does not come from Lil Nas X, but rather from a collection of random designers who chose to partake in the process. As for how the blood was taken, well, that wasn’t so easy.

“Not the best way, to say the least,” Greenberg said. “I could tell you; it’s just kind of graphic. But, like, not by any means a good way of doing it.” No matter how you feel about the process, it turned out to be successful as the shoe sold out in just 5 minutes.

MSCHF is also known for the Drake Holy Water shoes, and this latest model was on the complete other end of the spectrum. Regardless, MSCHF and Lil Nas X just came away with a huge win for themselves.
