Chef Denies Settlement, Claims Assault by NFL Star

Mila Adams, the former personal chef for NFL player Stefon Diggs, has spoken out to counter "false narratives" surrounding assault allegations made against the athlete. Adams, a professional chef with over 10 years of experience, stated on February 13, 2026, that she has "never sought money nor engaged in settlement discussions" related to the case.

Diggs, 32, pleaded not guilty to felony strangulation and other charges. The accusations stem from a December 2025 incident where Adams alleged Diggs assaulted her over unpaid wages. Court records indicate Adams told officers Diggs "smacked her across the face" and attempted to choke her, causing difficulty breathing.

Adams stated she reported the complaint through legal channels and, as a survivor of domestic violence, takes such matters seriously. She has declined to engage with rumors or social media misinformation. Diggs' attorney previously called the claims unsubstantiated and fueled by a financial dispute.

The New England Patriots organization stated they support Diggs and will cooperate with authorities and the NFL. Diggs' most recent court appearance was postponed to allow him to participate in Super Bowl LX on February 8, 2026, a game his team lost.
