The Facts: Following up on the ongoing story. ... At an emergency hearing Friday morning, a Harris County judge ruled that one of the plaintiffs suing Watson must identify herself by refiling her lawsuit with her name attached.

Diehards Line:The original lawsuit, filed by Houston attorney Tony Buzbee, was filed on behalf of Jane Doe. Of the 22 lawsuits filed against Watson alleging sexual assault and inappropriate conduct, only two women had been publicly identified. The ruling was made by Judge Dedra Davis in the 270th District Court. A similar hearing regarding at least 12 other cases began at noon ET Friday in the 113th District Court and Buzbee told the court during that hearing that nine more of the plaintiffs have agreed to release their names. During Friday's hearing, Watson's attorney, Rusty Hardin, accused Buzbee of using the women's anonymity to "kill the reputation of our client." Buzbee argued that keeping the woman's name private is common in cases dealing with allegations of sexual assault. Buzbee also told Davis that another woman who decided to be named publicly has already received death threats. Buzbee asked that the name be released to Hardin and his legal team but that they should not make her identity public. Davis disagreed, saying Buzbee's legal team might be getting an unfair advantage in the case because of his use of media coverage. "We need a balance of interests. A balance of interests is required for both parties," Davis said.
