Okay, so if you haven't been keeping up with the Stefon Diggs trial, first of all, where have you been? Because things just got very messy in a Massachusetts courtroom today, and we are absolutely not looking away.
Diggs, the former New England Patriots wide receiver, is currently on trial facing assault and felony strangulation charges brought by his former personal chef, Jamila Adams. And when she took the stand today? She did NOT hold back.
Stefon Diggs faces an intense courtroom moment as a former chef recounts alleged assault and deleted texts
Adams testified that Diggs first reached out to her on Instagram about four and a half years ago, originally just asking her to cook for him. Classic. But things didn't stay professional for long.
She described their relationship as "complicated," saying it started as a friendship that eventually "became sexual." They'd meet up, hang out, and basically do the whole situationship thing for years before he offered her a legit job in February 2025, live-in chef, $2,000 a week. She moved into his Dedham home in July.
By late November, things inside the Diggs household were already falling apart. Apparently, a friend of his child's mother accused Adams of spreading rumors that Diggs was sleeping with another woman on his staff, a woman named Lindsay.
Diggs confronted Adams about it, Lindsay was reportedly upset about Adams being in the house, and suddenly, there's a whole love triangle situation brewing under one roof. Adams said she didn't even fully know what Lindsay's deal was, just that Diggs pays her rent and she works for him "in some capacity." Make that make sense.
Here's where it gets really wild. Adams said she was told she couldn't join Diggs and his team on their Miami trip because of all the Lindsay drama. She was upset, especially because she'd been coordinating outfits with Diggs' girlfriend,
Cardi B, for Art Basel. She told Diggs she was hurt about it, and things escalated into an argument, and she claims that the argument turned into a physical assault. She testified she was so scared during the altercation that she wet herself.
This is the part that's going to haunt her testimony. Adams admitted on the stand that she deleted some text messages before handing their conversations over to the police, saying she did it out of "fear of how they would be perceived." The defense has already been claiming she "curated" her evidence, and yeah... this isn't helping.
What happens next as the trial nears a rapid conclusion
Diggs has pleaded not guilty and his legal team maintains there was no assault, no strangulation, no incident at all. The trial is expected to wrap up in just two to three days, so stay locked in, because this is far from over.
