I've never done these things people are alleging."It was the first time Watson has answered direct questions about the allegations, which first surfaced in March 2021.

He understands there are people who will never believe him."I know that there’s going to be a stain that probably is going to stick with me for awhile, but all I can do is keep moving forward and to continue to show the person that I am, the true character, the true person, the true human being I am," the 26-year-old said."I never done the things that these people are alleging and I’m going to continue to fight for my name and clear my name and like I’ve been doing, just cooperate with everything that comes with it."PREVIOUS: 2nd.
