Stefon Diggs Files Lawsuit Against Influencer for Defamation

URGENT UPDATE: NFL star Stefon Diggs has filed a defamation lawsuit against social media influencer Christopher Blake Griffith, who made shocking allegations of drugging and sexual assault against him. The suit was officially filed on October 1, 2023, and Diggs is contesting claims he describes as “pure fiction.”

According to the lawsuit obtained by TMZ Sports, the incidents stemmed from a night out in May 2023. Diggs asserts that he, Griffith, and other influencers attended a charity basketball game in Washington, D.C., before returning to his home in Rockville, Maryland. After an uneventful evening, Diggs claims he went to his bedroom while his assistant asked Griffith to leave, marking the end of what he describes as a “mundane night.”

Fast forward to the summer of 2025, and Diggs alleges that Griffith unleashed a barrage of wildly false statements regarding the night in question. These included serious accusations that Diggs had assaulted him and even conspired to have him killed to cover up alleged secrets about Griffith’s sexuality. Diggs contends that Griffith’s posts were not only damaging but also targeted his sponsorships, tagging the NFL, the New England Patriots, and Uggs in his allegations.

Griffith has a significant following, which Diggs believes exacerbates the harm to his reputation. The lawsuit claims that Griffith knowingly fabricated these stories for personal gain, seeking online clout at Diggs’ expense.

In response, Griffith’s attorney, Jake Lebowitz, stated, “Mr. Griffith is looking forward to showing the world in Court that regardless of the fairy tale fabricated by Mr. Diggs’ high-priced New York lawyers, he is the victim of Mr. Diggs’ unwanted sexual advances and his brother’s violent attacks.”

Diggs is pursuing damages and legal fees, although the exact amount requested has not been disclosed. Given the serious nature of the allegations and the high-profile individuals involved, this case is poised to attract significant media attention.

As this story develops, many are watching closely to see how both sides will present their cases in court. The implications of this lawsuit extend beyond personal reputations, potentially affecting Diggs’ career and endorsements.
