New England Patriots star wide receiver Stefon Diggs is confronting a fresh defamation lawsuit, emerging mere days before he is set to compete on the football field for Super Bowl LX. According to detailed reports from TMZ, the legal action originates from a 2024 incident involving a stolen Ferrari and subsequent physical altercations that implicated members of his inner circle.
Allegations and Legal Claims
The plaintiff, identified as a former employee of the wide receiver, asserts that Diggs falsely accused him of stealing the luxury vehicle, despite police investigations having cleared him of any guilt in the matter. The lawsuit elaborates that these false accusations were propagated by Diggs, leading to significant professional repercussions for the victim.
Impact on the Victim
The legal filing further contends that the spread of this false narrative resulted in a marked decline for the victim's concierge business, alongside sparking multiple threats against him. This development adds a layer of controversy to Diggs's high-profile career as he prepares for one of the biggest sporting events of the year.
More details are expected to follow as the case progresses. In related news, Diggs was recently pictured with his girlfriend, Cardi B, in courtside seats at Madison Square Garden in May, highlighting his public persona amidst these legal challenges.
