Overview
- Over the weekend, Christopher Griffith posted screenshots of alleged May 2023 direct messages from Stefon Diggs that he says show flirtatious exchanges and that will be reviewed in court.
- Diggs has denied the assault allegations, sued Griffith for defamation in 2025, and faces counterclaims from Griffith accusing him of drugging and sexually assaulting the stylist in May 2023.
- A federal judge in June ordered Diggs to provide more complete answers about his interactions with Griffith and who was present at his Rockville home while limiting certain questions about prior controlled-substance possession.
- High-profile figures including Cardi B and the mother of Diggs’ child have publicly defended Diggs, and Griffith has rejected charges that his lawsuit is a cash grab, saying he seeks accountability not a set payout.
- Diggs remains a free agent as the litigation and related settlements—including an undisclosed agreement with Diggs’ brother, Darez—leave his reputation and NFL prospects uncertain while discovery continues.
