On Tuesday afternoon, massage therapist Ashley Solis became the first woman to publicly speak out about the sexual assault she faced during a session with the Texans’ QB back in 2020.

Other women named Ashley Solis, who were mistaken for the accuser, also received threatening messages from fans.
Solis’ Google business page was also flooded with negative one-star reviews on Tuesday.
As of now, 22 women have accused Watson of sexual assault but Solis is still the only one to come forward publicly.
