The social media influencer who accused Stefon Diggs of sexual battery has asked the judge in Diggs’ defamation case against him to force the NFL star to reveal his finances in a new bombshell twist to their legal battle.
Christopher Griffith, who claims he struck up a professional relationship with Diggs in 2022 while working as his style advisor and advising him on his clothing line, has accused the football player of intentionally drugging him, making unwanted sexual advances towards him and later conspiring to kill him.
The wide receiver, who split from Cardi B earlier this year, hit back in November when he sued Griffith for defamation, accusing the model of concocting a lurid tale.
Griffith, who countersued Diggs in response to his defamation lawsuit, has now levied a fresh legal challenge against the football player, in a court filing reviewed by the Daily Mail.
Griffith’s lawyers filed a motion asking the judge in the case to compel Diggs to turn over financial information, and specifically evidence of how the sexual assault allegations have hurt him financially.
The social media star has claimed that Diggs is resisting the discovery process, with his lawyer arguing that the NFL wideout ‘does not get to sue and hide’, as first reported by TMZ.

The Daily Mail has reached out to Diggs’ lawyers for comment.
The motion is just the latest twist in the legal saga between Griffith and Diggs, who is a free agent following the end of the 2025 season.
In his counterclaim to the defamation lawsuit, Griffith claims that on May 21, 2023, he was invited to stay the night at Diggs’s Maryland property as a guest of the wideout. Late that night, he says he and Diggs went out to a couple of nightclubs in Washington DC, where they stayed out until the early hours of May 22.
According to the court paper, while out partying, Griffith alleges that Diggs offered him ‘candy.’ He initially refused but later accepted and ate some after growing hungry.
However, Griffith claims that the candy was drugged. He alleges that after consuming the substance, his ‘pupils became extremely dilated, to the point that he could not see the color of his irises,’ his ‘skin began to tingle to the touch,’ and he ‘found it difficult to form words into complete sentence.’
He also alleges in the court paper that, despite not consuming any alcohol or other substances, he became disorientated, leading him to believe that he had been drugged.
It adds that Griffith and Diggs then returned to the NFL player’s home, where, while still seated in Diggs’s car, the wide receiver allegedly exposed his penis and began to masturbate.
Diggs is alleged to have motioned for Griffith to touch his genitalia. Griffith claims that he clearly and forcefully asked Diggs to put his penis away before exiting the vehicle and heading towards the property door, according to the filing.
On the way to the entrance to the residence, Diggs allegedly gripped Griffith’s shoulder and pulled him closer. He then tried to kiss Griffith on the mouth but the stylist avoided the attempt. Instead, Diggs put his tongue in Griffith’s ear and whispered to him to ‘come to his room,’ the counterclaim alleges.

Griffith allegedly attempted to resist but claims that he found it difficult to exert force against Diggs because of the alleged substance he had unwittingly consumed. Upon entering the home, Diggs went to his room, but Griffith ran to the bathroom to plan his ‘escape,’ the court filing says.
When Griffith left the bathroom, he claims that two women and a man, Darez Diggs – one of Diggs’s younger brothers – confronted him. They allegedly threatened him and demanded that he not discuss the events of the evening and to instead say that he had stolen items from the residence, according to the court paper.
Griffith claims that he was forced into a vehicle and dropped off at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport in nothing but an ill-fitting sweatshirt. Still disorientated, he managed to secure a ticket back to Los Angeles.
In a twist of events, he claims approximately one week later, on May 29, 2023, he was attacked inside his own apartment building by associates of Diggs.
The alleged assailants, including Diggs’ brother Darez, are said to have kicked and punched him several times in the head in the elevator, and to have taken several valuable items including his phone, according to his court filing.
Footage later emerged of the attack, and Darez pleaded no contest to one felony count of grand theft from a person in March 2024 in Los Angeles. He was sentenced to two years of probation and ordered to perform 20 hours of community labor.
Griffith, who says he still has PTSD, claims he suffered traumatic brain injury, fractures to his left leg and ankle, and a meniscus tear in his left knee among other injuries in the attack.
Diggs sued Griffith for defamation over the claims, maintaining that the false accusations have seriously damaged his reputation.
Diggs appeared in court in February after being accused of assaulting his personal chef
In his own lawsuit, Diggs denied the allegations, accusing Griffith of fabricating the claims and intentional lying for online stature.
The saga is just one of a series of legal woes for Diggs, who is also facing charges of felony strangulation or suffocation, and misdemeanor assault and battery, stemming from an alleged dispute with his personal chef.
In February, he pleaded not guilty and the case is due to go to trial at the start of May.
Dedham police accused Diggs of striking and choking the woman who worked as his personal chef over the first months of his debut season with the Patriots. The alleged incident is said to have taken place during a financial disagreement.
The New England Patriots released Diggs in March less than a month after their Super Bowl defeat to the Seattle Seahawks.
Diggs also suffered further heartbreak in February when he split from rapper girlfriend Cardi B, just three months after they welcomed their first child together.
