Stefon Diggs (Stefon Marsean Diggs) has sued a US social media star. He says the man lied that he drugged, abused and tried to kill him.
The New England Patriots wideout filed a libel case in October in New York. Court papers say he targets Christopher Blake Griffith for harsh posts about a 2023 night. Diggs sits in fresh news after earlier paternity case and court steps.
How the visit to Diggs’ home began
Diggs says he met Griffith and other online figures after a charity game in Washington. They went from the event to a club then headed back to his Rockville home. He says he later went to bed while an aide asked guests to leave.
The player calls that night calm and plain, with no drugs or sex acts. He says Griffith left with others and there was no fight or plan. His claim paints a short house visit that ended without drama or fear.
What the online posts accused Diggs of
Griffith later told his followers that Diggs drugged him during the house visit. He also claimed the star forced sex on him while he was weak. The posts then said Diggs linked with others who beat him days later.
In one post he said Diggs wanted to hide gay or bi secrets from the world. He wrote that the star hired help to kill him so he would stay quiet. Griffith tagged the NFL, the Patriots and a shoe brand in the posts.
Diggs calls every line false and says the claims hit his name hard. He says brands, fans and teams now link his face with harsh crime talk. Court filings say he views the story as “pure fiction” spread online.
How both sides now plan to fight in court
The suit says Griffith knew his tale was false yet posted it for fame. Diggs says he lost peace, work spots and trust as the claims spread. He wants cash and legal fees, though the papers do not list a sum.
Griffith’s lawyer Jake Lebowitz says his client is the real victim in this case. He says Griffith will show Diggs made “unwanted sex moves” before a brother hit him. His team notes fresh baby news around Diggs and Cardi that already drew wide talk.
The case now moves through court where a judge will weigh each side’s story. No trial date is set yet, and both men still keep their firm stand. ValidUpdates will track fresh filings so fans can see clear facts as they land.
