Houston Texans star wide receiver Stefon Diggs is pushing back against a request to disclose his NFL contract details in an ongoing sexual assault case. His legal team has filed a motion asking the judge to deny the plaintiff's demand for financial records, arguing they have no bearing on the allegations at hand.
The case stems from accusations made by Christopher Blake Griffith, who claims Diggs sexually assaulted him in 2023 after a night out following a charity basketball game. According to reports from TMZ, Griffith has specifically requested information about Diggs' income from his football career—a move the former New England Patriots receiver's lawyers say is irrelevant and intrusive.
Here's where things get complicated: Griffith alleges he hasn't received sufficient information from the defense during the discovery process. But Diggs' camp maintains that his finances simply aren't connected to the case's core allegations. It's a legal chess match that's drawing attention both on and off the field.
Let's rewind to how this all started. Back in November 2023, Diggs actually filed a lawsuit against Griffith first. The story goes that after a charity basketball game, Diggs invited Griffith and other influencers to a club, then back to his home. Diggs says he went to bed, and his assistant asked Griffith to leave. Fast forward to summer 2025, and Griffith took to social media with explosive claims—alleging Diggs "drugged and sexually assaulted" him, and even conspired to have him killed to hide secrets about his sexuality. Griffith also claimed Diggs' brother violently attacked him in an elevator.
"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," said Griffith's attorney, Jake Lebowitz, in a statement.
Diggs, meanwhile, has accused Griffith of libel, saying the allegations are a deliberate attempt to damage his reputation. As this legal battle plays out, the 6-time Pro Bowler remains focused on the upcoming season—but this off-field drama is a reminder that even the biggest stars can't always control the game off the gridiron.
