Overview
- Christopher Blake Griffith filed counterclaims in Maryland federal court alleging sexual battery, battery, conspiracy, intentional infliction of emotional distress and defamation tied to an alleged May 2023 encounter.
- Stefon Diggs previously sued Griffith for defamation on October 1, asserting the influencer fabricated the story and seeking damages and attorneys’ fees.
- Griffith’s filing describes being given “candy” he believes was drugged, followed by alleged exposure and masturbation by Diggs in a car and unwanted advances at the player’s Maryland home.
- The countersuit also alleges threats at the home and a separate assault one week later outside Griffith’s Los Angeles residence, identifying Diggs’ brother Darez as an attacker.
- Both parties seek damages, the dispute remains at the civil pleading stage with no judicial findings or criminal convictions reported, and Griffith’s August posts tagging UGG and Sarah Jessica Parker helped draw wider attention.
