A Massachusetts court has refused to seal the disturbing police report detailing assault allegations against star NFL wide receiver Stefon Diggs, making the chilling account public. The Dedham District Court held a virtual hearing on Tuesday where Diggs' lawyer, David Meier, moved to impound the incident report and related documents, arguing it was to prevent undue public scrutiny. The judge, however, denied the motion.
Shocking Details Emerge from the Police Narrative
The now-public report, filed by the Dedham Police Department and obtained by media, contains a graphic statement from Mila Adams, who worked as Diggs' private chef. According to the report, Adams entered the police station on December 16, 2025, appearing emotional and hesitant. After requesting a female officer and being told none was available until 4 PM, she proceeded to give her statement.
Adams alleged that on December 2, 2025, while working at Diggs' residence at 7 Schoolmaster Lane in Dedham, an argument over unpaid wages turned violent. She stated that Diggs entered her unlocked bedroom, and as they discussed the money owed, he became angry.
A Terrifying Ordeal: Smack, Choking, and a Threat
The narrative takes a horrifying turn. Adams told police that Diggs smacked her across the face. When she tried to push him away, he allegedly moved behind her and put her in a chokehold using the crook of his elbow around her neck. She explicitly stated she had trouble breathing and felt she could have blacked out. As she tried to pry his arm away, he tightened his grip.
The report states she was then thrown onto the bed. Diggs reportedly said, "Thought so," and when Adams reiterated she hadn't been paid, he responded with "Lies" before walking out. Adams initially withheld the suspect's name out of fear due to his fame but later identified him as Stefon Diggs of the New England Patriots.
Employment Dispute and Aftermath of the Alleged Assault
The police report delves into the professional relationship that preceded the incident. Adams began working as Diggs' private chef around July 20, 2025, with employment intended through the NFL season. She claimed pay structure issues, being paid monthly instead of weekly, and believed she was owed a month's salary.
In early November, she was told not to work for a week and to vacate her room for house guests, without financial assistance for travel. The alleged assault on December 2 prompted her to leave the residence. When she returned for her property on December 9, she was told via text to discuss payment with his assistant. A finance contact named "Melissa" informed Adams that Diggs required a signed non-disclosure agreement before payment, which Adams refused.
Initially, Adams did not want to press charges, only seeking that Diggs stop contacting her. She later informed police she received a voicemail and texts from a woman believed to be Diggs' girlfriend, saying, "You don't need to do all this. It's not that big of a deal." This contact made Adams believe Diggs knew about the police report, though officers assured her they had not reached him yet.
Charges Filed After Victim Changes Mind
After several attempts by police to contact Diggs went unanswered, Adams changed her stance. On December 23, 2025, she instructed police to proceed with criminal charges. The investigating officer applied for a criminal complaint against Stefon Diggs with the Dedham District Court.
The charges sought are severe:
- Chapter 265 Section 13/A - Assault & Battery
- Chapter 265 Section 15/D - Strangulation or Suffocation
The case puts the spotlight not only on a prominent NFL athlete but also on the dynamics of power, employment, and violence. The court's decision to keep the report public ensures the allegations will face intense scrutiny as the legal process unfolds.
