Stefon Diggs Shuts Down Boat Video Questions: “I Keep My Personal Life Personal”
After weeks of viral speculation, Patriots star Stefon Diggs finally faced the media—but he wasn’t giving them what they came for.
The Viral Memorial Day Yacht Ride That Sparked a Media Frenzy
It was a video that had everyone talking this Memorial Day:
NFL wide receiver Stefon Diggs spotted on a luxury yacht, surrounded by bikini-clad women, casually offering what looked like a pink powdery substance in a small bag. The clip quickly lit up social media timelines and tabloid headlines.
From Twitter threads to Reddit deep-dives, fans and critics alike speculated what was really going on aboard that boat.

Was it innocent fun or something more? That’s the question everyone wanted answered—and on Tuesday, reporters finally got their chance to ask the man himself.
Diggs Speaks Out for the First Time Since the Incident
During a media session with the New England Patriots—the team he recently joined in a high-profile trade—Diggs was asked point-blank about the now-infamous yacht video.
But if the media expected a confession or clarification, Diggs had other plans.
“Obviously, I want to get as candid with you guys as possible,” Diggs said, holding his ground, “but I kind of have a thing where I don’t talk about my personal life with people I don’t know personally.”
In other words: no comment.
Diggs emphasized that while he respects the media and their role, his off-field life is not up for discussion.
“I’m pretty sure everybody here—men and women—are great people,” he added, “but I kind of keep my personal life personal.”
Reporters Kept Pushing—Diggs Wouldn’t Budge
Even after that initial boundary was set, the questions didn’t stop. Reporters wanted to know more:
- What exactly was in the mysterious pink bag?
- Was there any disciplinary action from the team?
- Has the NFL launched an internal review?
Diggs wouldn’t confirm or deny. Instead, he revealed he did speak with Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel and others within the organization following the video’s circulation—but he kept it vague.
“The particulars is all internal,” Diggs said, refusing to go into detail.
And as for the repeated follow-ups?
“I don’t want to be rude,” he said, clearly annoyed. “But I would hate to repeat myself for the fourth time. You want me to repeat myself again? And say the same thing again?”
Kevin Hart Weighs In With a Joke at the BET Awards
While Diggs has taken a firm stance on staying tight-lipped, others in the entertainment world haven’t been so reserved.
Enter Kevin Hart.
During his hosting gig at the 2025 BET Awards on Monday night, Hart couldn’t resist poking fun at the yacht saga, cracking a joke that clearly referenced Diggs’ mysterious pink-bag moment.
The audience roared with laughter, but whether Diggs himself appreciated the joke remains unknown.
“Kevin Hart taking shots at Stefon Diggs on live TV?! Wild,” one fan tweeted.
“That yacht clip is gonna haunt Diggs all season,” another added.
The joke landed—but not everyone in New England was laughing.
Some Patriots fans were quick to express disappointment on social media, suggesting that Hart’s jab only made a bad situation worse.
Fan Reaction: Mixed But Loud
Reactions to Diggs’ public remarks have been split down the middle:
???? Supportive fans praised him for setting healthy boundaries and refusing to be drawn into gossip.
???? Critics, on the other hand, accused him of dodging accountability and fueling speculation with his silence.
“If it was nothing, he could’ve just said that,” one Reddit user commented.
“He owes nobody anything about his personal life,” argued another.
The NFL has not issued any public statement or disciplinary action related to the yacht incident—at least, not yet.
A New Chapter With the Patriots—But a Stormy Start
Stefon Diggs’ arrival in New England was already headline-making. The four-time Pro Bowler was expected to bring star power and leadership to a rebuilding Patriots team. But now, instead of training camp highlights, it’s his Memorial Day weekend antics making the rounds.
It’s unclear if this situation will affect his standing with the team or within the locker room, but Diggs made it clear he’s focused on football.
“I’m here to work. That’s what I’m about,” he said before ending the press session.
Final Thoughts: Privacy vs. Public Scrutiny in the Social Media Era
Diggs’ media moment is a reflection of a larger issue in celebrity culture: Where does the line between public and private really fall?
In an era where every move is recorded, clipped, and viral within minutes, athletes—especially those as high-profile as Diggs—are constantly under a magnifying glass. While his desire to keep his personal life private is understandable, the curiosity (and judgment) of the public doesn’t pause.
???? What’s Your Take?
Should Stefon Diggs have explained the yacht video—or does he have every right to keep it to himself?
