… Pleads Not Guilty To Assaulting Chef
Published
Stefon Diggs appeared in court on Friday for his arraignment over the alleged assault of his personal chef, with the NFL star pleading not guilty just days after the Patriots wideout played in Super Bowl LX.
Diggs, 32, along with his lawyers, was in front of the judge in the Dedham District Court for about a minute … with Stefon pleading “not guilty” to the charge he assaulted his chef in December 2025.
After the hearing, Mitchell Schuster, part of Diggs’ legal team, told reporters the allegations are false.
“We’re confident that after the facts and evidence are reviewed in this case, he will be completely exonerated,” Schuster said.

As we previously reported, Diggs’ personal chef accused him of slapping her and attempting to choke her during a dispute over pay on December 2, 2025.
The woman said Diggs went into her unlocked bedroom following a text exchange over money she believed he owed her, and that’s when things really took a turn.
According to her account. Diggs became angry, slapped her across the face, and then “tried to choke her using the crook of his elbow around her neck.”
She reported the alleged incident to the police on December 16. While she did not provide pictures of any injuries, she claimed redness on her upper chest.
Diggs’ pre-trial hearing is scheduled for April 1, and he has been ordered not to have contact with the alleged victim.
