Whew, chile! The tea is piping hot regarding NFL star Stefon Diggs. Fresh details from a TMZ incident report lay out some serious allegations from his former personal chef. She claims he slapped her and even tried to choke her during a dispute over her pay.
So, the story goes: the chef told police she reached out to them on December 16, detailing an alleged incident from December 2. She was working for Stefon Diggs as a private chef, and says he came into her unlocked bedroom to hash out a text exchange about money she felt she was due.
Things allegedly escalated quickly. She claims Diggs got upset and struck her across the face. When she tried to push him away, he then supposedly “tried to choke her using the crook of his elbow around her neck.”
Her statement to police details a truly frightening scene. She claims Diggs positioned himself behind her during the incident, wrapping his arm around her neck. She reportedly struggled to breathe, feeling like she “could have blacked out,” and says his grip tightened as she fought to get free. Then, she alleges he threw her onto a bed, saying something like “Thought so.” Even then, she tried to explain she hadn’t been paid what she was owed. His alleged response? “Lies,” before he just left the room. When police asked about injuries, she mentioned redness on her upper chest but didn’t have photos.
This chef started working for Diggs in July, with plans to stay on through the 2025 NFL season. Her initial agreement was weekly pay, but that supposedly switched to monthly. At the time of this alleged confrontation, she hadn’t received a full month’s worth of pay. That’s what sparked the whole dispute, according to her.
She also shared why she hesitated to report it: Diggs’ high profile as an NFL star, specifically with the New England Patriots, made her wary.
Now, we have to hear the other side. Attorney David Meier, representing Diggs, is strongly disputing these claims. He stated clearly that the allegations “are unsubstantiated, uncorroborated, and were never investigated — because they did not occur.” Meier didn’t mince words, suggesting 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.” He wrapped up by saying Diggs is ready to “establish the truth in a court of law.” So, it looks like this isn’t over yet!
