"He tried to make me sign an NDA. He offered me $100K to recant my statement — and no amount of money would make me lie." — Jamila Adams, via social media.
Alright, buckle up because this whole situation is a LOT. Former NFL wide receiver
Stefon Diggs was just found not guilty on felony strangulation and misdemeanor assault charges. His personal chef, Jamila "Mila" Adams, had accused him of smacking her and putting her in a chokehold during a money dispute at his home in Dedham, Massachusetts back in December 2025. The jury deliberated for barely 90 minutes and came back with a not guilty on both counts. Diggs literally had tears rolling down his face when the verdict was read.
Jamila Adams shocked the courtroom after claiming Stefon Diggs offered her $100K to change her story
Here's where it gets MESSY. During the trial, when Diggs' lawyers grilled Adams about an alleged $5.5 million demand her team made just weeks before the case went to court, she clapped back, hard. She straight up told the courtroom that Diggs had offered her $100,000 to take back her police statement. The judge immediately struck that from the record and told the jury to ignore it. But girl… the internet does NOT forget. And now Adams has repeated that same claim in a post-verdict social media statement, saying no amount of money could make her lie. The NDA allegations also resurfaced, Diggs' assistant reportedly asked her to sign one before receiving any payment.
Jamila Adams said she “refused to be silenced” despite facing criticism throughout the trial
Adams had a rough time on the stand, not gonna sugarcoat it. The judge literally had to remind her multiple times to just answer the questions being asked. Some of her responses got struck from the record for being non-responsive. Defense lawyers also pointed out that she gave Diggs a birthday gift less than 24 hours after the alleged attack, never went to the doctor, and apparently didn't report the incident until 14 days later. Plus Diggs' finance team testified that Adams had actually been overpaid by around $2,500. It was a lot for prosecutors to work around.
Not guilty verdict or not, Jamila Adams posted a full statement after the trial and she said everything she clearly wanted to say in that courtroom. She talked about how quickly women get doubted and broken down for speaking up, how hard it is to go against someone with power, money, and a whole team of lawyers behind them. "I refused to be silenced," she wrote. Whether you believe her or not, that statement hit different and the internet has thoughts.
