Stefon Diggs Sues Influencer for Defamation Over Drugging and Sexual Assault Claims

Newly published court filings show the Patriots receiver accuses Christopher Blake Griffith of fabricating viral posts that threatened his reputation and sponsorships.

Overview

  • The Oct. 1 complaint in Maryland federal court alleges Griffith invented claims that Diggs drugged, sexually assaulted, and plotted to have him killed after a May 2023 encounter.
  • Diggs says Griffith broadcast the accusations in summer 2025 and tagged the NFL, the New England Patriots and Ugg, with some posts also mentioning Sarah Jessica Parker, to maximize reach.
  • The receiver denies any assault, describes the night as uneventful at his Rockville, Maryland home, and seeks unspecified damages and attorneys’ fees.
  • Griffith shared a police report and continues to dispute Diggs’ account; his attorney says counterclaims, including sexual battery, will be filed shortly.
  • The dispute remains in early litigation with no court rulings reported, and a separate case involving Diggs’ brother Darez ended with a no-contest plea to a felony and no jail time.
