YouTube Description
as posted by the channelOn Tuesday, former New England Patriots receiver Stefon Diggs was found not guilty of assaulting his private chef in a pay dispute.
Diggs, a four-time Pro Bowl wideout, pleaded not guilty in February to a felony strangulation charge and a misdemeanor assault and battery charge stemming from the alleged dispute.
The trial lasted two days and centered on a Dec. 2, 2025 encounter at Diggs' home in Dedham, Massachusetts, where Jamila Adams, a former live-in personal chef who is known as Mila, testified he slapped and choked her during an argument.
According to the Associated Press, Diggs’ lawyers claimed the alleged assault never happened and questioned Adams’ credibility and whether the dispute was about money, relationship tensions — including a disagreement over a planned trip to Miami — or an alleged assault.
Diggs' focused on financial demands Adams made and testimony from friends and employees who stated she did not appear injured in the days after the encounter, while prosecutors argued the case rests on Adams' account of what happened inside the residence.
Earlier in the trial, Adams became emotional on the stand while describing an alleged encounter with Diggs in which Adams said he entered her room after an argument over text.
Defense attorney Andrew Kettlewell told jurors during closing arguments that prosecutors had not presented "a single shred of credible evidence" that an assault occurred.
Assistant District Attorney Drew Virtue urged jurors to weigh Adams’ testimony carefully and not to disregard it because she was not "a perfect witness."
Jamila Adams, who said she lived in the former New England Patriots' receivers home and prepared all of his meals, accused Diggs of attacking her in December 2025.
