Stefon Diggs’ Personal Chef Denies Making False Accusations in Assault Case
The personal chef allegedly choked and attacked by New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs has spoken out, firmly denying accusations that she falsified claims against the NFL star.
Mila Adams issued a statement to TMZ shortly after Diggs pleaded not guilty to felony strangulation and misdemeanor assault charges in Norfolk County District Court on Friday.
“As a survivor of domestic violence, I take these matters extremely serious and would never make false claims for personal gain or to damage someone’s reputation,” Adams stated. She emphatically rejected suggestions that she sought financial compensation from the incident.
“I have never sought money nor engaged in settlement discussions to settle this matter; statements suggesting otherwise are harmful and untrue,” she added, addressing speculation that had circulated following Diggs’ court appearance.
The allegations stem from an incident in December when Adams reportedly confronted Diggs at his home regarding missed payments for her culinary services. According to court documents, Adams claims Diggs slapped her across the face and attempted to choke her by putting “the crook of his elbow around her neck” during the confrontation.
Diggs, who switched legal representation just one day before his court hearing, has firmly denied the accusations. His attorney, Mitchell Schuster, released a statement asserting the Patriots receiver’s innocence.
“He is completely innocent of these false allegations that have been alleged against him. We’re confident that after the facts and evidence reviewed in this case, he will be completely exonerated,” Schuster told reporters outside the courthouse.
The case has drawn significant attention across the NFL community, particularly as the Patriots organization navigates how to handle the situation with one of their marquee offseason acquisitions. Diggs, a four-time Pro Bowl selection, was traded to New England in April after a successful stint with the Buffalo Bills.
The legal proceedings come at a challenging time for Diggs, who faces mounting personal and legal difficulties. In November, an influencer accused him of sexual battery, though formal charges have not been filed in that case. Days before the Patriots’ recent Super Bowl appearance, Diggs was also sued for defamation in Florida, adding to his mounting legal concerns.
Media reports have additionally suggested personal relationship troubles between Diggs and his girlfriend, musician Cardi B, with rumors of a recent falling out circulating on social media platforms.
Adams, in her statement, expressed a desire to move forward from the incident. “My focus is on healing, my work, and moving forward with integrity. I trust the legal process to address the facts, and I hope anyone following this matter will do the same.”
Diggs’ pretrial hearing is scheduled for April 1, when more details about the case are expected to emerge. The Patriots organization has yet to issue a formal statement regarding their receiver’s legal situation, though the NFL’s personal conduct policy could potentially lead to disciplinary action depending on the outcome of the proceedings.
The case highlights ongoing concerns about domestic violence allegations involving professional athletes and the complex dynamics that often surround such high-profile incidents. For now, both parties appear committed to allowing the legal process to unfold in the courtroom rather than the court of public opinion.
