Stefon Diggs Charged in Alleged Assault Case — Cardi B’s Name Unexpectedly Surfaces
New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs is now facing serious legal trouble after being formally charged in connection with an alleged assault involving a female private chef. And in a surprising twist, Cardi B has been mentioned in court documents tied to the aftermath of the incident.
According to criminal filings, Diggs has been charged with felony strangulation or suffocation, along with misdemeanor assault and battery. The alleged incident reportedly occurred on December 2 at Diggs’ home in Dedham, Massachusetts.
What the Complaint Alleges
Court records state that the woman was working as a private chef for Diggs and that a dispute arose over money she believed she was owed. After a series of text messages about payment, the complaint alleges Diggs entered her bedroom and an argument followed.
The woman told police she was struck in the face and that Diggs attempted to choke her using the crook of his elbow. The alleged victim did not immediately report the incident and initially did not want to press charges, citing fear due to Diggs’ fame and influence. She eventually came forward on December 16.
Attempted Resolution After Police Were Contacted
According to the same filings, after law enforcement became involved, the woman reported receiving a voicemail and text messages from a female she believed to be Diggs’ girlfriend. Based on those messages, she believed Diggs knew the police had been contacted.
The messages allegedly downplayed the situation, stating something to the effect of, “you don’t need to do all this” and “it’s not that big of a deal.”
While the documents do not formally accuse Cardi B of wrongdoing, her name has surfaced because of speculation surrounding who may have reached out to the alleged victim on Diggs’ behalf. At this time, there is no indication that Cardi B is facing any legal exposure in the case.
Diggs and Patriots Respond
Diggs is scheduled to be arraigned on January 23. Through the organization, he has strongly denied the allegations.
In a statement, the Patriots said:
“The New England Patriots are aware of the accusations that have been made regarding Stefon Diggs. Stefon has informed the organization that he categorically denies the allegations. We support Stefon. We will continue to gather information and will cooperate fully with the appropriate authorities and the NFL as necessary.”
The team added that it would have no further comment while the legal process is ongoing.
What Happens Next
As of now, the case remains in its early stages. No trial date has been set, and all allegations remain unproven. Diggs continues to play for New England while the matter works its way through the court system.
Still, the combination of criminal charges, an alleged dispute over money, and the unexpected mention of Cardi B has turned this case into one of the most talked about off the field stories in the NFL right now.
