On May 5, as reported by ESPN, the second day of Stefon Diggs’ trial began with significant developments. During this session, Jamila Adams returned to the stand and claimed that Diggs attempted to persuade her with an offer of $100,000 to retract her allegations of assault.
As detailed by various outlets, reports indicated that Adams made demands for $19,000 initially, and later requested $5.5 million during her time working for Diggs. Furthermore, testimonies were presented from friends and employees asserting that Adams did not seem injured in the aftermath of the alleged incident where Diggs supposedly strangled and assaulted her. According to AP News, the defense contended that Adams’ accusations stemmed from a disagreement regarding a planned trip to Miami.
In conclusion, the defense concluded its case by highlighting the prosecution’s inability to provide “a single shred of credible evidence” that would substantiate the assault claims. Ultimately, the jury found Diggs not guilty.

Detailed Overview of the Assault and Strangulation Case Involving Stefon Diggs and Jamila Adams
As previously mentioned by The Shade Room, in December 2025, Stefon Diggs faced serious charges including felony strangulation and misdemeanor assault. It was reported that earlier that month, Jamila Adams approached Diggs regarding her alleged unpaid wages. Allegations arose that on December 2, he entered her bedroom, physically assaulted her by slapping her, and attempted to choke her.
In response to these serious allegations, Stefon Diggs’ legal team firmly denied all claims.
“The timing and motivation for making these allegations is crystal clear: they stem from a financial conflict between employer and employee that was not resolved to the employee’s satisfaction,” his attorney claimed at the time.
In January, Diggs expressed that he was going through an extremely emotional time. By early February, Jamila Adams publicly spoke out regarding the incident.
On May 4, during the first day of the trial, Jamila Adams testified, revealing that her relationship with Stefon Diggs included a sexual component. She believed she would be compensated at a rate of $2,000 weekly for her role as his live-in chef. Reports indicated that their agreement deteriorated due to a conflict involving another woman, which led to Adams being excluded from a trip to Miami.
“We have taken these allegations seriously from the start, which is why we were eager for the truth to be revealed through the legal process… Professional athletes often find themselves as targets. When individuals see a uniform and a contract, they perceive it as leverage and a settlement opportunity. They rely on public pressure to force a default decision to settle, regardless of the facts,” Diggs’ attorneys stated after the verdict. “The evidence clearly showed what we maintained from the outset: Mr. Diggs was wrongfully accused, and this case exemplifies the kind of opportunistic targeting that athletes face the moment they step off the field.”
