Stefon Diggs Drops A BIZARRE New Legal Defense Against His Male Accuser… Claims ‘Even If I DID Do It, He Wanted MORE!’ (RECEIPTS)
Honey, lock the courtroom doors and prepare for the ultimate masterclass in pure legal audacity! Media Take Out has the absolute, jaw-dropping exclusive on the latest filings from the Maryland federal court, and baby, NFL wide receiver Stefon Diggs is using a defense strategy so wild, so petty, and so bizarre, it might just backfire and fuel the very rumors he’s trying to kill!
As you already know, Stefon is locked in a toxic, high-stakes court battle with celebrity stylist Christopher Blake Griffith, who countersued the star for sexual battery, claiming Stefon drugged him with laced candy and made unwanted sexual advances back in May 2023.
Stefon has aggressively denied everything. But in a brand-new July 14, 2026, legal memorandum obtained by Media Take Out, Stefon’s high-priced lawyers are essentially telling the judge: “Listen, even if we pretend Stefon DID try to make a move… the accuser’s own testimony proves he wanted to keep a relationship going, so he can’t sue us for being traumatized!”
Yes, honey, you read that right!
The Motion to Dismiss: A Technical Knockout on Emotional Distress
According to the official court receipts, Stefon is asking a federal judge to throw out Griffith’s counterclaim for Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress (IIED) before it ever reaches a jury.
Under Maryland law, to win an IIED claim, a plaintiff has to prove they suffered emotional distress so devastatingly severe that it completely disrupted their ability to function in daily life.
But Stefon’s legal team is arguing that Griffith’s own sworn testimony completely, utterly destroys that claim!
Let’s look at the legal maneuvering directly like a supportive, grounded peer, not a rigid lecturer: Honey, in a standard defense, you’d expect a lawyer to focus entirely on proving their client didn’t do a single thing wrong. But baby, Stefon’s lawyers are using a highly strategic “even if” argument. They are telling the judge that even if the court assumes the alleged incident happened, Griffith’s own behavior afterward proves he wasn’t actually traumatized by it!
The Receipts: “A Sexual Attempt Gone Wrong”
To back up this bizarre strategy, Stefon’s filing highlights some incredibly messy admissions from Griffith’s sworn depositions:
- The “Coexist” Comment: During his California deposition, Griffith reportedly testified under oath that after the alleged May 22, 2023 incident, he initially hoped to repair his relationship with Stefon. He said he wanted to tell the NFL star he respected his sexuality and believed they could still “coexist in a room” together professionally.
- “An Attempt Gone Wrong”: In another highly revealing moment, Griffith explained that he wanted to speak directly with Stefon after the incident because he viewed it as simply “a sexual attempt gone wrong” and hoped they could move forward if Stefon just respected his boundaries.
- Protecting Stefon: During his June 2026 deposition, Griffith admitted that he actually delayed reporting the incident to the police because he still hoped things “could be corrected” and confessed that part of him still wanted to protect Stefon.
Stefon’s Defense: “You Aren’t Actually Traumatized!”
Stefon’s lawyers are laying it out plain and simple for the judge. They argue that if Griffith was truly the victim of extreme, life-altering trauma from Stefon, he wouldn’t have been actively plotting ways to preserve a relationship, protect him, and peacefully hang out in the same rooms with him!
Furthermore, Stefon points out that Griffith testified that his mood swings and mental health struggles were actually caused by the second incident on May 29, 2023—where he was allegedly jumped by Darez Diggs and other associates in Los Angeles—not by anything Stefon did in Maryland.
Based on these specific testimonies, Stefon is asking the judge to throw the IIED claim straight in the garbage.
What Happens Next?
If the judge grants Stefon’s motion, Griffith’s emotional distress claim is dead. However, baby, this is only a partial summary judgment motion!
Even if Stefon wins this specific technical battle, he still has to face a jury over the much bigger, highly damaging counterclaims of battery, sexual battery, civil conspiracy, and defamation.
We are keeping our notifications permanently locked to the Maryland federal court wire to see if the judge buys Stefon’s “even if” defense, so stay completely locked into Media Take Out, honey! Do you think Stefon’s strategy is brilliant, or is it way too risky? Let’s talk about it below!
