Stefon Diggs Fights to Keep NFL Salary Private

When it comes to legal battles, some things are just too personal to share. That’s exactly how NFL star Stefon Diggs feels about his NFL salary and career earnings. He’s officially asked a judge to put a stop to attempts by Christopher Blake Griffith to access his financial records.

Diggs’ Stance on Financial Disclosure

Diggs’ legal team argues that the amount of money he makes as a former New England Patriots wide receiver is completely irrelevant to the core of the court case. The dispute centers around sexual assault allegations, and Diggs believes his earnings have no bearing on those claims.

This request marks the latest development in a legal saga that kicked off in 2023. Griffith, a social media influencer and stylist, has accused Diggs of drugging and sexually assaulting him following a charity basketball event. Diggs has vehemently denied these accusations, filing a libel lawsuit against Griffith and claiming the allegations are fabricated for attention.

Griffith’s Push for Evidence

However, Griffith isn’t backing down. His legal team is pushing hard for Diggs’ financial records, arguing that Diggs himself initiated the lawsuit by claiming his reputation and business deals were damaged. Griffith’s attorney, Jake Lebowitz, contends that Diggs can’t sue for financial harm while simultaneously refusing to disclose his financial details.

Mr. Griffith is looking forward to showing the world in Court that regardless of the fairy tale fabricated by Mr. Diggs’ high-priced New York Lawyers, he is the victim of Mr. Diggs’ unwanted sexual advances and his brother’s violent attacks. — Jake Lebowitz, Attorney for Christopher Griffith

Escalating Claims and the Judge’s Decision

The situation has become even more complex with Griffith’s claims that Diggs’ brother, Darez, was involved in a violent elevator attack intended to silence the alleged incident. While Diggs maintains Griffith is trying to tarnish his name, Griffith insists the truth will surface during the discovery process.

Now, the judge has the crucial task of deciding whether Stefon Diggs must hand over his financial paperwork or if his millions will remain private. This ruling could significantly impact how the defamation case unfolds.
