Woman accusing Josh Primo of misconduct expected to speak at news conference Thursday

HOUSTON — The woman who accused former Spurs player Josh Primo of misconduct is expected to speak at a Thursday news conference.

Houston attorney Tony Buzbee is representing Dr. Hillary Cauthen, a sports psychologist who worked with the Spurs. Buzbee represented woman who sued former Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson for sexual misconduct.

Josh Primo, 19, was abruptly released from the Spurs organization Friday. He was one of the team’s brightest rising stars and was part of the team’s future strategy, so it came as a shock to many people. Sources said there were accusations that Primo exposed himself. Wednesday evening, TMZ sources reported that any exposure by Primo was due to wardrobe malfunctions from laying on a couch in shorts. 

The Buzbee Law Firm sent the following statement to KENS 5 about the news conference Thursday:

“The Buzbee Law Firm represents former San Antonio Spurs consulting psychologist Dr. Hillary Cauthen. At the conference, Tony Buzbee will discuss allegations made by Dr. Cauthen and others against NBA player Josh Primo, the events that precipitated the release of Primo, the veracity of recent public statements made by both the Spurs organization and Primo, interactions with individuals within the San Antonio Spurs organization, and the expected path forward. Dr. Cauthen will be present to make a public statement and answer pertinent questions. No proprietary information will be shared at the conference. HIPPA restrictions will be observed.”

According to TMZ, Primo has received a demand letter from Buzbee and no lawsuit has been filed.

KENS 5 will be live streaming the press conference Thursday, Nov. 3 at beginning at 10 A.M.
