During her interview with King, Watson said that while both attended Duke University in 2000, Fairfax locked her in his bedroom, restrained her against her will and raped her.

“He did things that you shouldn’t do to someone without their permission. And I tried several times to get up and leave and was pushed back down,” Watson said.

Watson said she told two friends immediately following the incident about what had happened, identifying Fairfax.

She also claimed that Fairfax preyed on her, knowing she had been raped in the past by another student at the school.

Similarly, Tyson said in an interview with King, which aired Monday, that she believed Fairfax “took advantage” of the fact she is a survivor of incest.

Fairfax has denied Watson’s allegation, saying that their encounter was consensual.

Watson said that since coming forward, she has faced criticism and unfair scrutiny, in part due to being black.

“There’s this expectation that we are supposed to protect our black men at all costs,” Watson said.
