Stefon Diggs and Chris Griffith Clash Over Travel Records in Ongoing Legal Fight
The legal dispute between NFL star Stefon Diggs and Chris Griffith continues to unfold, with new court filings focusing on travel records connected to a 2023 trip to Washington, D.C.
According to court documents obtained by TMZ, Griffith is opposing Diggs’ request that he produce records related to the May 2023 trip, arguing that Diggs and his representatives were responsible for arranging the travel and therefore already possess the relevant information.
The latest filing is the newest development in a civil case that involves competing lawsuits and sharply disputed allegations.
Diggs has denied the allegations made against him, while Griffith continues to stand by his claims.
Griffith Says Diggs Already Has the Requested Documents
In the newly filed documents, Griffith argues that requiring him to produce travel confirmations is unnecessary because, according to his filing, Diggs and his team coordinated the travel arrangements.
His attorney wrote that, to the extent such travel documents exist, they are “at least equally within” Diggs’ possession, custody, or control.
Griffith also stated in the filing that he has already produced 24 pages of text messages exchanged with members of Diggs’ support staff.
The dispute over discovery is one of several procedural issues that remain before the court as the litigation moves forward.
The Allegations and Diggs’ Response
Griffith alleges that during the May 2023 trip he was given a piece of candy that had been drugged without his knowledge.
He further alleges that Diggs made unwanted sexual advances toward him, including non-consensual physical contact.
These allegations are contained in Griffith’s civil lawsuit.
Diggs has denied the allegations.
The NFL player previously filed a defamation lawsuit against Griffith, alleging that Griffith knowingly made false statements that damaged his reputation.
In court filings, Diggs’ attorney argued that Griffith falsely accused him of serious criminal conduct and sought unspecified damages.
The court has not ruled on the factual merits of either party’s claims, and the allegations remain contested.
Separate Assault Allegations Also Part of the Legal Dispute
In his lawsuit, Griffith also alleges that, after rejecting the alleged advances, he was later attacked by Diggs’ brother, Darez Diggs, and two other individuals.
Those allegations are also disputed.
Separately, TMZ previously reported that Griffith reached a settlement in a $10 million lawsuit involving his apartment complex and Darez Diggs over the alleged assault.
The terms of that settlement have not been detailed in the information provided.
Importantly, that settlement is separate from the ongoing civil litigation between Griffith and Stefon Diggs.
Why the New Filing Matters
The latest court filing does not determine whether either side’s claims are true.
Instead, it addresses the discovery process, during which both parties seek documents and information they believe are relevant to the litigation.
Discovery disputes are common in civil lawsuits and are typically resolved by the court before the case proceeds toward trial or another resolution.
As the legal process continues, both parties will have opportunities to present evidence supporting their respective positions.
Behind the legal filings are two individuals presenting fundamentally different accounts of the same events.
Griffith maintains that his allegations are truthful and continues pursuing his claims through the courts.
Diggs, meanwhile, continues to deny any wrongdoing and argues that the allegations have caused significant reputational and professional harm.
The case remains active, and no court has reached findings on the disputed allegations.
The latest filing adds another chapter to the ongoing legal battle between Stefon Diggs and Chris Griffith, with both sides continuing to contest the facts and the evidence.
As the case moves forward, future court rulings will determine how the litigation proceeds.
