The trial involving Stefon Diggs commenced on Monday, featuring contradictory statements from his former personal chef, Jamila Adams. The legal team for Diggs presented evidence that did not align with her claims.
During Tuesday’s proceedings in Dedham, Massachusetts, Adams disclosed having a sexual relationship with the wide receiver and made significant allegations against him.
Thanks for the submission!
Diggs’ legal team questioned Adams about a $5.5 million demand allegedly made by her attorneys. In response, Adams claimed that Diggs offered her $100,000 to withdraw her statement. When pressed about the $5.5 million, she initially invoked attorney-client privilege and later stated she could not confirm if the demand was made on her behalf.

“Although Adams told an objectively compelling story regarding the alleged assault, the rest of the evidence arguably undermined her claim,” he wrote.
“For starters, there was no physical evidence of any injury. No photos taken at the time of the alleged incident, no apparent injuries when she reported the incident to police. Also, her behavior after the alleged incident, as explained by other witnesses who interacted with her, was inconsistent with the reasonable aftermath of an assault.”
Diggs’ attorneys attempted to cast doubt on Adams’ credibility regarding the assault allegations. The judge provided instructions to the jury on the applicable law, and both parties now await the verdict.
