"The charges stem from an alleged dispute between Diggs and his personal chef over money he owed her for her work. The chef told Dedham police that he 'smacked her across the face' and 'tried to choke her using the crook of his elbow around her neck.'"
"Stefon Diggs categorically denies these allegations. They are unsubstantiated, uncorroborated, and were never instigated - because they did not occur. The timing and motivation for making these allegations are clear: They are the direct result of an employee-employer financial dispute that was not resolved to the employee's satisfaction."
"In December, the Patriots put out a statement voicing their support for Diggs. 'Stefon has informed the organization that he categorically denies the allegations. We support Stefon,' the statement said."
Stefon Diggs is scheduled for trial on May 4 in Dedham District Court after being charged with felony strangulation and assault. The charges arose from an alleged incident with his personal chef regarding unpaid work. The chef reported that Diggs struck her and attempted to choke her. Although she hesitated to file charges initially, she reported the incident to police weeks later. Diggs has pleaded not guilty, and his attorney claims the allegations are unfounded and stem from a financial dispute. The New England Patriots have expressed their support for Diggs.
