Star wide receiver Stefon Diggs of the New England Patriots finds himself embroiled in a serious legal controversy. His former private chef has accused him of physical violence, an allegation that has sent shockwaves through the NFL community. Adding another layer to the drama, the chef has also implicated Diggs's "girlfriend" in the unfolding case.
Chef's Allegations and the 'Girlfriend' Factor
According to a report by NBC Boston, the former private chef provided a statement to authorities detailing the incident alleged to have occurred on December 2. She accused Diggs of strangling and physically assaulting her. In a significant twist, the chef also claimed that Diggs's "girlfriend" attempted to dissuade her from contacting the police.
The chef stated that soon after she filed a police report, she received a text message from the said girlfriend. The message read, "You don't need to do all this. It's not that big of a deal." Interestingly, the chef did not name the girlfriend, even though Diggs recently welcomed a child with and is publicly linked to the famous rapper Cardi B.
Diggs's Strong Denial and Team Support
Stefon Diggs has categorically denied all accusations made against him. His lawyer, David Meier, issued a firm statement to E! News, calling the claims "unsubstantiated" and "uncorroborated."
"Stefon Diggs categorically denies these allegations," the statement read. "They are unsubstantiated, uncorroborated, and were never investigated—because they did not occur." Meier suggested the allegations stemmed from a financial dispute, stating, "The timing and motivation for making the allegations is crystal clear: they are the direct result of an employee-employer financial dispute that was not resolved to the employee's satisfaction." Diggs, through his counsel, expressed his intent to prove his innocence in court.
The New England Patriots organization has also thrown its weight behind the player. The team released a statement confirming they are aware of the situation and that Diggs has denied the allegations. "We support Stefon," the Patriots' statement concluded.
Cardi B's Silence and Fan Reactions
Amid the legal storm, Cardi B has maintained a conspicuous silence. She has not issued any public statement regarding the allegations against Diggs or her alleged involvement as referenced by the chef. This silence has fueled intense speculation and discussion among fans and on social media platforms.
The case has also sparked massive trolling online, with fans connecting the dots to previous rumors about Diggs's personal life. Many have accused him of cheating on Cardi B with multiple women, adding a tabloid-fueled dimension to the serious legal accusations.
As the situation develops, all eyes are on the legal proceedings where Stefon Diggs promises to establish the truth. The case presents a significant off-field challenge for the Patriots' star, blending serious assault claims with the high-profile intrigue of his personal relationships.
