The assault trial of former NFL wide receiver Stefon Diggs entered its second day Tuesday, with his former employee continuing testimony that has already revealed sharply conflicting accounts of what happened inside his home. Yankee Scores reports.
A live-in chef who worked for Stefon Diggs is accusing the former New England Patriots wideout of assault.
Her testimony continues on Tuesday at his trial despite the first day being marked by sharply conflicting accounts of what happened inside his home.
Adams’ Testimony
Jamila “Mila” Adams, who worked as Diggs’ live‑in chef, told jurors Monday that Diggs slapped and choked her during a December dispute. “He smacked me with an open hand,” Adams said, adding that he wrapped his arm around her neck and left her struggling to breathe.
She described their relationship as “complicated,” noting it had once been sexual but was not at the time of the alleged assault.
She lived in the wideout’s home, preparing meals, and had known Diggs for 4 years at the time.
Defense Pushback
Diggs’ attorney Andrew Kettlewell countered that no evidence supports Adams’ claims. He pointed out that no one else in the house reported seeing or hearing anything unusual, and that Adams provided no medical records or photos of injuries.
He also suggested she had a financial motive, saying jurors would hear evidence she sought money from Diggs after reporting the incident.
Charges and Context
Prosecutors allege Diggs entered Adams’ bedroom on December 2, slapped her, and put her in a headlock.
Diggs, 33, has pleaded not guilty to felony strangulation and misdemeanor assault and battery charges. A jury was seated Monday in Norfolk County District Court in Dedham, where the trial continues.
