Buffalo Bills’ All-Pro wideout Stefon Diggs has been charged with felonies after his former personal chef accused him of assault during a dispute over unpaid wages.
The four-time Pro Bowl receiver is no stranger to controversy, having previously faced an ongoing paternity drama and past legal troubles.
The allegations, which are now part of an ongoing criminal case, stem from an alleged confrontation at Diggs’ home in Massachusetts in early December.
What does the chef claim Stefon Diggs did?
According to police reports, the alleged altercation happened on December 2, 2025 in Dedham, Massachusetts, when Diggs allegedly entered the woman’s bedroom, punched her in the face and put her in a chokehold, making it difficult for her to breathe before she let go.
The woman later decided to press charges after being reluctant due to her star power.
The allegations led to charges of suffocation or suffocation, along with assault and battery.
Those charges are now part of an active criminal case, and Diggs could be sentenced as early as 2026.
Who is the woman who claims Diggs assaulted her?
According to the police reports detailing the case, the woman who claimed Stefon Diggs happened to be Diggs’ personal chef and was hired around July 2025 to cook for him throughout the NFL season.
She reportedly told the officers that the incident happened because of unpaid wages that were at least a month late.
According to the agreement, she was supposed to be paid weekly, but ended up getting paid monthly instead.
After the alleged incident, she left Diggs’ premises and stayed with a friend. Then, on December 9, she came back to his residence to collect her belongings.
After the alleged incident, she left Diggs’ home and stayed with a friend. Then, on December 9, she returned to his residence to collect her belongings. That’s when the heated exchange turned into what she describes as an assault from Stefon Diggs.
She went to the Dedham Police Department on Dec. 16 to report what had happened and later decided to press charges.
But so far, police reports highlight her account of the alleged assault and her employment agreement, but her name has not been released publicly.
On the other hand, Diggs has denied all the allegations, with his attorney calling them unsubstantiated and linking them to a financial dispute rather than a violent assault.
