Star New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs finds himself embroiled in a major legal controversy. His former private chef has levelled shocking allegations of physical violence against the NFL player, with new disturbing details now emerging about the case.
Chef Alleges Assault and Pressure to Sign NDA
According to a police report filed at the Dedham police department, the incident allegedly occurred on December 2. The chef claims that after a physical altercation where Diggs was allegedly violent and strangled her, the player introduced a new condition for her payment.
She states that Stefon Diggs wanted her to sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) before he would settle her dues. The chef was reportedly redirected to the player's assistant, identified as 'Melissa from Finance', who pressured her to sign the agreement as a prerequisite for payment.
However, the former employee refused to agree to these terms. She chose not to sign the NDA and instead approached the authorities a few days later to file a formal complaint.
Cardi B's Alleged Involvement and Team's Stance
Adding another layer to the scandal, the chef has made a further startling claim. She alleges that Stefon Diggs' "girlfriend" sent her text messages urging her to drop the entire matter. While the chef did not explicitly name the famous rapper Cardi B, the implication was clear given the public knowledge of their relationship.
Notably, Cardi B has maintained complete silence on the issue and has distanced herself from the ongoing lawsuit. Meanwhile, Diggs's team, the New England Patriots, have decided to stand by their player. The organization has allowed him to continue participating in the playoffs, a move that has sparked significant debate and chaos among fans who believe he is not facing immediate consequences for the serious allegations.
Diggs's Strong Denial and Legal Path Forward
Stefon Diggs has vehemently denied all accusations through his legal representative. His lawyer, David Meier, issued a strong statement to E! News, calling the claims baseless.
The statement read, "Stefon Diggs categorically denies these allegations. They are unsubstantiated, uncorroborated, and were never investigated—because they did not occur." It further suggested the allegations stemmed from a financial dispute, stating, "The timing and motivation for making the allegations is crystal clear they are the direct result of an employee-employer financial dispute that was not resolved to the employee's satisfaction."
The statement concluded by saying Stefon Diggs looks forward to establishing the truth in a court of law. The player himself has refused to discuss the case publicly, leaving the matter to the legal process to unravel.
