Stefon Diggs, the former New England Patriots wide receiver, and Cardi B sparked romance rumors a few days ago after they had a dramatic split in February. While both of them remain silent about their relationship, the Grammy winner has now been dragged into Diggs' legal mess.
Cardi B Enters the Legal Fray
A few hours ago, as reported by the US Sun, Stefon Diggs filed a defamation suit against social media personality Christopher Griffith, who has in turn accused him of sexual harassment. Now, Griffith has brought Cardi B into the controversy.
A court filing by Griffith reads: "There is a significant unresolved question as to whether Mr. Diggs's claimed emotional distress was caused by sources other than Mr. Griffith's posts on Instagram." Interestingly, Griffith has shifted the blame to Stefon Diggs' girlfriend, Cardi B, for allegedly being a reason behind his "emotional distress."
The filing adds: "During the period in question, Mr. Diggs very publicly started and ended a relationship with the musical artist Cardi B, with Mr. Diggs painted as a villain in the tabloid press…" It further states: "Mr. Diggs was captured on video distributing an unidentified crystalline substance to women partying with him on a yacht, again widely disseminated by the tabloid press; and his performance as an NFL wide receiver declined materially."
Neither Diggs nor Cardi B has responded to the claims made in the new court filing about their relationship.
Stefon Diggs Remains a Free Agent Amid Legal Woes
While Diggs fights a legal battle against Griffith, he also continues to be legally involved with his ex-chef after she accused him of physical violence. The next scheduled hearing is set for early May, as Diggs claims innocence and reiterates that he has been "trapped."
Amid this, he remains a free agent ahead of the new season, with rival teams rumored to be eyeing him.
