Overview
- Stefon Diggs sued Christopher Griffith for defamation in October 2025 and Griffith filed a counterclaim alleging Diggs drugged and sexually assaulted him at Diggs’ Maryland home in May 2023.
- Griffith publicly posted alleged May 2023 direct messages and told TMZ on Friday that his lawsuit is not a cash grab and that he is ready for his day in court.
- Both sides are fighting over access to iMessages, Instagram DMs, text records and travel confirmations because those documents could place people at specific times and locations.
- Diggs and his lawyers deny the assault allegations and have asked a judge to dismiss parts of the counterclaim, while public defenders of Diggs including Cardi B have raised credibility questions about Griffith’s account.
- The dispute carries reputational and career stakes for Diggs after his March 2026 release from the New England Patriots, and a separate May 2023 settlement with Diggs’ brother remains part of the case background.
