Here's an article with the details of her claim:

Also, what an absolute buffoon the Browns owner has been since purchasing the team.  Maybe he'll be able to rid himself of Deshaun with these new allegations and get some of that money back.

Agreed. It's a shame that he's squandered a relatively good coach in Stefanski as well with Watson. It's even more added insult to injury with Mayfield's continued success in Tampa Bay. We'll see what happens with Watson. Hopefully the court system sorts it out properly and accordingly and either justice is served or his name is cleared for good.

The likely absence of proof leads me to believe this will be dismissed.  I would venture a guess that the plaintiff already tried to settle out of court and if Deshaun was comfortable letting these charges be filed and made public, it's basically a he said she said and he has no intention of paying out and I'm not sure how you can determine guilt in such a scenario.  If this were filed with the other lawsuits instead of separately, she probably would have a much better shot at getting paid, but that's just a guess on my part.
