​The legal confrontation between NFL star Stefon Diggs and the social media influencer accusing him of sexual assault has taken another sharp turn. Christopher Griffith, who had previously countersued the New England Patriots wide receiver, now asserts that he has produced more than 100 pages of communications between himself and Diggs as part of the ongoing court fight. The new filing marks another development in Diggs’ case, which has progressed from a public dispute on social media into a broad legal battle involving allegations of sexual assault, defamation, intimidation, and an alleged cover-up.
According to newly filed court documents obtained by TMZ Sports, Griffith says he has provided more than 100 pages of communications exchanged with Diggs. The materials reportedly include messages sent via iMessage and Instagram. The dispute began after Diggs claimed that Griffith failed to provide certain Instagram messages during discovery, a claim Griffith disputed by arguing that Diggs already has access to the conversations because he participated in them himself. Diggs, however, reportedly told the court that Griffith blocked him on Instagram, preventing access to older messages on the platform. As a result, the NFL star has asked a judge to compel Griffith to turn over the communications.
The disagreement may appear technical on the surface, but it underscores how pivotal digital communications could be as both sides strive to prove their competing versions of events. The latest court battle arises from a defamation lawsuit Diggs filed in October 2025. In that suit, obtained by TMZ Sports, the Patriots wide receiver accused Griffith of fabricating a series of shocking allegations tied to a night at Diggs’ Maryland home in May 2023. Diggs claimed Griffith, whom he described as a “would-be social media influencer,” spread false claims to tens of thousands of followers online.
Diggs contended that the two attended several venues in the Washington, D.C., area after a charity basketball event before returning to his home. The NFL star asserted the evening ended without incident and that Griffith later invented allegations that damaged his reputation, professional relationships, and endorsement opportunities. The lawsuit specifically alleged that Griffith tagged organizations including the NFL, the Patriots, and UGG in social media posts containing the accusations.
The dispute intensified when Griffith filed a countersuit offering a markedly different account of what allegedly occurred. According to Griffith, he consumed a piece of candy repeatedly offered by Diggs during their night out and soon began feeling disoriented.
