Stefon Diggs’ Team: Chef Was Overpaid, Not Attacked

The assault trial involving NFL star Stefon Diggs has taken a new turn, with Diggs’ finance team presenting a starkly different narrative. While his former private chef, Jamila Adams, alleges she was attacked after confronting Diggs over missed payments, Diggs’ financial representatives claim the opposite: Adams was actually overpaid during her employment.

During the second day of the trial, Adams’ lawyer reportedly brought up an alleged $5.5 million demand made by her. However, Adams’ response was quickly stricken from the record after she stated Diggs offered her $100,000 to recant her statement, rather than directly addressing the demand. The judge cautioned Adams to answer questions directly to avoid her testimony being dismissed.

Financial Irregularities Alleged

Diggs’ finance team presented evidence suggesting financial discrepancies in Adams’ invoices. Melissa Goddard, an employee of PMG Private CFO and Diggs’ money manager, testified that an audit conducted in late 2025 revealed Adams had submitted duplicate receipts for reimbursement multiple times. She also allegedly submitted invoices for packages already paid for by Diggs’ FedEx account.

According to reports from TMZ, Goddard’s audit concluded that Adams was paid over $2,500 more than she was owed. An additional $744 couldn’t be accounted for due to a lack of detailed information in her submissions. This financial scrutiny casts doubt on Adams’ claims of chasing unpaid wages.

A Complicated Past Relationship

Adding another layer to the case, Jamila Adams revealed on the first day of the trial that she had a prior sexual relationship with Stefon Diggs before joining his staff as a private chef in February 2025. She described their past involvement as “complicated,” stating they began as friends before their relationship became sexual.

Adams moved in with Diggs in July 2025 and worked as his private chef for $2,000 weekly. She moved out around December, which is reportedly when the alleged incident occurred. Diggs has pleaded not guilty to the charges of felony strangulation and misdemeanor assault and battery.

Conflicting Narratives Emerge

The trial presents two vastly different accounts of the events. Adams’ side alleges assault and financial misconduct by Diggs, while his finance team counters with claims of overpayment and financial irregularities on Adams’ part. The jury will need to sift through these conflicting narratives and evidence to reach a verdict.

The legal proceedings continue to unfold, with the financial records and the nature of the past relationship between Diggs and Adams likely playing significant roles in how the case progresses.
