Justin Tucker, the star player of the Baltimore Ravens, has found himself in a huge controversy after massage therapists working at luxury spas accused him of inappropriate sexual behaviour, as per The Baltimore Banner. The Baltimore Banner reports that as many as sixteen women have accused the player of sexual misconduct and this seems like a flashback to when the Cleveland Browns’ Deshaun Watson was accused of a similar crime a few years back. Fans have questions about how the Justin Tucker situation is being handled as compared to Deshaun Watson’s.
Fans Question Why Is Justin Tucker Not Being Treated Like Deshaun Watson When He Was Accused Of Similar Sexual Misconduct Charges
A fan took to X and wrote, “I’m still waiting on the world and sports media to drag Justin Tucker as they did Deshawn Watson keep that same energy!”, while another fan wrote, “Why is this not on the news like Deshawn Watson was. Deshawn was on national and local news on the reg. Why is Justin Tucker not being talked about more on national, local news and social media? Maybe he kept missing them field goals cause he was too ‘relaxed’ 🤷🏽♂️”
A third fan wrote, “the fact the nfl allowed deshawn watson continue playing football is disturbing. now you’ve got justin tucker who has allegations that are getting near deshawn’s numbers. what number of women will be enough?”
In 2021, Deshaun Watson was accused by more than twenty massage therapists of inappropriate sexual misconduct. It caused a huge uproar on social media and became a topic for debate. At that point in time, Deshaun Watson was playing for the Houston Texans.
While his contract with the Houston Texans was not officially terminated, he did not play in any of the matches during the 2021 season of the NFL.
By 2022, Deshaun Watson was traded to the Cleveland Browns but he was suspended for the first 11 matches during the 2022 season of the NFL and was fined a whopping $5 million. By November 2022, he was back to playing for the Cleveland Browns.
Justin Tucker Has Denied All The Sexual Misconduct Allegations That He Has Been Accused Of
The accusations against Deshaun Watson are oddly similar to the accusations against Baltimore Ravens’ Justin Tucker. After the women approached The Baltimore Banner with their story, Justin Tucker issued a statement regarding the controversy and denied all the allegations levied against him.
In a social media statement, Justin Tucker said, “In accusing me of misconduct, the article takes innocuous, or ambiguous, interactions and skews them so out of proportion they are no longer recognizable, and it presents vague insinuations as fact. This is desperate tabloid fodder.”
As per The Baltimore Banner, the NFL has started their investigations into the matter and is interviewing the women who have accused the Baltimore Ravens’ player.
