NFL wide receiver Stefon Diggs has become involved in several separate civil lawsuits involving allegations ranging from assault and extortion to defamation and a stolen Ferrari. The cases developed from unrelated incidents and should not be treated as one legal proceeding.
Some lawsuits were filed by Diggs, while in others he is a defendant or counter-defendant. Several remain unresolved as of September 2026. The allegations described in the lawsuits are disputed and have not been established as facts unless specifically noted.
Stefon Diggs and Christopher Blake Griffith Lawsuit
One of Diggs’ most serious ongoing civil disputes involves Christopher Blake Griffith, a designer and former business associate.
Diggs sued Griffith after Griffith publicly accused him of drugging and sexually assaulting him during an alleged May 2023 incident at Diggs’ Maryland home.
Diggs strongly denies the allegations and contends that Griffith’s statements are false. His lawsuit includes defamation-related claims.
The dispute moved to the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland in November 2025 as Diggs v. Griffith, Case No. 8:25-cv-03767.
Griffith responded with a counterclaim. He maintains that his allegations are truthful and claims he was subjected to unwanted sexual conduct.
The case has subsequently entered discovery, with both sides seeking documents and other evidence. Court records show discovery motions and disputes were still being litigated during 2026.
No court has yet determined whether Griffith’s allegations or Diggs’ defamation claims are true.
Mulan Hernandez Assault and Extortion Litigation
Another major civil battle began in Texas.
In February 2025, Diggs sued Mia Jones, better known publicly as Mulan Hernandez, and Brianna ‘Brii’ Mack in Harris County.
Diggs’ lawsuit sought up to approximately $1 million and alleged assault, trespassing, wrongful taking or destruction of property, intentional infliction of emotional distress and a scheme to extort money from him.
The dispute centers on an incident at Diggs’ Houston residence in June 2024.
Diggs alleges Jones punched him, damaged valuable property and later threatened to make damaging accusations unless money was paid. His complaint reportedly identified damaged property that included a high-value wristwatch, cellphone and gaming equipment.
Jones disputes Diggs’ version of events.
She brought her own claims accusing Diggs of assaulting her during the same encounter. Jones alleges that Diggs struck her and caused a concussion and also accused him of attempting to pressure her into signing a nondisclosure agreement. She has sought damages reportedly between $250,000 and $1 million.
Diggs denies assaulting Jones.
The litigation therefore presents sharply conflicting accounts of what happened inside the residence. Public reporting in 2026 continued to describe the Texas civil dispute as active.
Nigel King Ferrari and Defamation Lawsuit
Diggs is also facing a separate lawsuit in Florida filed by Nigel King, who says he previously provided concierge and logistical services for Diggs.
The dispute began after a Ferrari belonging to Diggs was stolen.
According to King’s lawsuit, he arranged transportation of the Ferrari in July 2024. King says third parties stole the vehicle and that law enforcement never identified him as a suspect.
King alleges that Diggs nevertheless began telling people in December 2024 that King had stolen the Ferrari. He claims those accusations damaged his professional reputation and caused him to lose clients.
The lawsuit also alleges that people associated with Diggs later confronted King and that one of Diggs’ friends punched him during a December 2025 encounter at a Florida nightclub.
King sued Diggs, Diggs’ brother Darez and several other individuals in February 2026.
Diggs has contested the case and sought to prevent it from moving forward until the other defendants had been properly served. By July 2026, reports indicated that the remaining defendants had been served and that the lawsuit was continuing.
No final ruling has established King’s allegations.
Aileen Lopera Paternity and Support Case
Diggs was also involved in a civil paternity case filed by Aileen Lopera.
Lopera initially filed the case in December 2024 seeking legal recognition of Diggs as the father of her child, as well as custody-related orders and financial support.
Diggs later requested genetic testing.
In January 2026, Lopera asked the court to dismiss the case without prejudice. Her attorney said the dispute had been resolved. Public reports stated that DNA testing had indicated Diggs was the child’s father, although the details of the parties’ resolution were not made public.
Unlike the Griffith, Jones and King disputes, this case is therefore no longer an active contested lawsuit.
Civil Cases Are Separate From Diggs’ Criminal Case
Diggs also faced a separate criminal prosecution arising from allegations made by a former personal chef. That proceeding should not be confused with these civil lawsuits.
A Massachusetts jury acquitted Diggs of the criminal charges in May 2026. The verdict does not decide the unrelated civil allegations involving Griffith, Jones or King.
Current Status of Stefon Diggs’ Civil Litigation
As of September 2026, the most important unresolved disputes are the federal Diggs v. Griffith defamation and counterclaim litigation, the competing Texas claims involving Mulan Hernandez and the Florida lawsuit brought by Nigel King.
None of those active cases has yet produced a final judgment establishing the major allegations against Diggs. The parties continue to present very different accounts, meaning the legal significance of each controversy will depend on future court rulings, settlements or trials.
