The legal dispute between internet personality Chris Blake Griffith and NFL star Stefon Diggs has taken a new turn. Griffith’s legal team is now pushing to access Diggs’ financial records as part of the ongoing legal battle, arguing that the athlete “does not get to sue and hide.”
Allegations and Counterclaims
The situation began last year when Chris Blake Griffith made serious allegations against Stefon Diggs in an interview with Tasha K. Griffith claimed he was drugged, sexually assaulted by the athlete, and subsequently threatened with his life. “He attempted to have me unalived because of him making a sexual pass at me,” Griffith alleged, expressing frustration not just with the alleged assault but with the subsequent threat to his life.
In response to these claims, Diggs filed a lawsuit against Griffith, accusing him of fabricating the story for attention and causing significant damage to his reputation. Diggs is seeking damages and legal fees. However, Griffith’s legal team is fighting back, asserting that Diggs’ lawsuit was an attempt to silence his accuser and obstruct any discovery that could challenge his claims.
The Push for Financial Records
According to legal documents obtained by TMZ, Griffith’s attorneys have formally requested that a judge compel Diggs to provide his financial records. The purpose of this request is to establish the extent to which Diggs has been financially harmed by Griffith’s allegations, as claimed in his lawsuit.
Griffith’s legal team argues that Diggs cannot sue for damages while simultaneously refusing to disclose financial information that would substantiate those claims. They are determined to present evidence in court that they believe will prove Griffith is the victim of Diggs’ alleged unwanted advances and subsequent violent attacks.
A Complex Legal Landscape
This legal battle is further complicated by a separate incident in February 2026, where Stefon Diggs was arraigned on charges of felony strangulation or suffocation and misdemeanor assault related to an alleged dispute with a private chef. Diggs pleaded not guilty to those charges. Griffith’s attorney, Jake Lebowitz, has previously stated their intention to demonstrate in court that Diggs fabricated a “fairy tale” and that Griffith is the true victim.
