It’s been an eventful month in the life of New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs.
Just last week, Diggs and girlfriend Cardi B welcomed their first child together.
And now, Diggs is embroiled in some new legal drama stemming from accusations made by influencer Christopher Blake Griffith over the summer.
As we previously reported, Griffith claims he was sexually assaulted by Diggs.
The internet celebrity alleges that Diggs drugged and molested him during a party that took place at the NFL star’s Maryland home in May of 2023.
Stefon Diggs claps back at Christopher Blake Griffith’s sexual assault allegation
Now, Diggs has clapped back by filing a lawsuit in which he accuses Griffith of defamation of character.
In legal documents obtained by TMZ, Diggs describes Griffith as a “would-be social media influencer.”
Diggs acknowledges that he and Griffith hit up a local club after a charity basketball game in Washington, D.C., and later returned to Diggs’ home.
But the NFL receiver says he then went to his bedroom, while his assistant asked Griffith to leave. And that, according to Stefon Diggs, was the end of the night.
Griffiths’ lawyer, Jake Lebowitz of Posey Lebowitz PLLC, denied Diggs’ “fabricated” claims.
“Mr. Griffith is looking forward to showing the world in Court that regardless of the fairy tale fabricated by Mr. Diggs’ high-priced New York Lawyers, he is the victim of Mr. Diggs’ unwanted sexual advances and his brother’s violent attacks,” Lebowitz told the New York Post.
Cardi B slams Stefon Diggs’ accuser
Never one to back down from a fight, Cardi B has entered the fray on her baby daddy’s behalf.
In a series of since-deleted tweets, she refuted Griffith’s claims and accused him of trying to steal from Diggs on the night in question (as well as boxer Gervonta Davis)
“Chris lied because he was stealing and got caught… there’s receipts for that. He lied on Gervonta Davis too and changed the story 1000 times,” Cardi wrote, according to Vibe.
“Not only will we defend against these false allegations but our counterclaims for sexual battery will be filed shortly,” the attorney added.
Diggs is also a dad to daughters Nova and Charliee, whom he shares with two different women.
He has yet to speak publicly about the allegations, and he has not faced any sort of disciplinary action either from the Patriots or the NFL.
