As the excitement builds for Super Bowl LX, New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs finds himself entangled in legal troubles adding a layer of complexity to his off-field life just days before the big game. A recent lawsuit obtained by TMZ on Friday, February 6, reveals that Diggs, 32, is facing allegations of defamation, civil conspiracy, and related claims from a man who claims to have previously worked for the NFL star. The lawsuit centers around an incident involving the transport of Diggs’ Ferrari from Miami to New York and then to Houston, where the vehicle was reportedly stolen by third parties in what was deemed a “sophisticated theft.”
The plaintiff, who strongly denies any involvement in the theft, states that Diggs allegedly falsely accused him of stealing the car, resulting in severe damage to his concierge and consulting business as well as confrontations with individuals connected to the NFL star. The accusations allegedly led to incidents in public places like restaurants in Houston and Miami, and even at the man’s home where gifts given by Diggs were demanded back.
Adding to the legal drama, a text message sent by Diggs in January 2025, in which he allegedly placed responsibility for others’ actions on the plaintiff, further fuels the conflict. The situation reportedly escalated in December 2025 when the plaintiff claims he was assaulted at a Miami nightclub by individuals connected to Diggs, including Diggs’ brother, Trevon Diggs, a cornerback for the Dallas Cowboys. The plaintiff sustained multiple injuries, including a torn ACL, and is seeking damages from both Diggs brothers.
This recent legal entanglement adds to a season of scrutiny for Stefon Diggs, who is also facing a separate case involving felony charges of strangulation and misdemeanor assault stemming from an alleged incident with a private chef in December. Despite the allegations, Diggs’ attorney, David Meier, has denied the accusations.
As the Super Bowl frenzy reaches its peak, Stefon Diggs finds himself in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons, navigating a web of legal issues that threaten to overshadow his performance on the field. The off-field drama surrounding the NFL star continues to unfold, painting a picture of a turbulent season outside the game.
