Stefon Diggs accuser turns over 100 pages of text messages

Stefon Diggs accuser turns over 100 pages of text messages

Stefon Diggs accuser Christopher Griffith told a federal court he turned over more than 100 pages of iMessage and Instagram communications between them. The July 9 filing answers a discovery fight after Diggs said Griffith blocked him on Instagram and withheld chats. Diggs denies Griffith's sexual assault allegations; neither side has made the messages public.

The latest court papers add a new layer to one of the NFL's most unusual off-field battles—a defamation lawsuit that spiraled into a countersuit with competing stories about a May 2023 night at Diggs' Maryland home.

Key Takeaways

What did Christopher Griffith turn over in court?

According to court documents cited by TMZ and Complex, Griffith claims he has now produced more than 100 pages of communications exchanged with Diggs. The records include messages sent through iMessage and Instagram, platforms the two men used before and after the alleged May 2023 incident.

Griffith's attorneys say the submission meets Diggs' request for Instagram records. Neither party has publicly released what the messages say, so it remains unclear whether the records bolster either side's narrative.

Why is Stefon Diggs fighting over Instagram messages?

The discovery dispute began when Diggs argued Griffith had not turned over Instagram messages during the evidence-sharing process. Griffith initially countered that Diggs already possessed those messages because he participated in the conversations.

Diggs told the court that Griffith blocked him on Instagram, cutting off his access to their older chat history. His legal team asked a judge to order Griffith to produce the records directly. Griffith's July filing asserts that request has now been satisfied.

What are the competing claims in the lawsuit?

Diggs filed a defamation lawsuit against Griffith in October 2025, accusing the stylist and social media influencer of spreading false claims online. Griffith countersued in November 2025, alleging Diggs drugged and sexually assaulted him during a gathering at Diggs' Rockville, Maryland, home in May 2023 after a charity basketball game in Washington, D.C.

Diggs has consistently denied any wrongdoing and has said Griffith fabricated the episode to generate attention. The courts have not ruled on the merits of either side's allegations. Griffith's team has also pushed for financial records and security footage from Diggs' home tied to the same period.

What happens next in the Stefon Diggs case?

Both lawsuits remain active, with discovery fights continuing months after the first filings. A judge had previously ordered Diggs to provide detailed answers about his May 2023 interactions with Griffith, setting a compliance deadline that drew further filings from both camps.

For now, the case is playing out in federal court rather than on social media. Cases like this often turn on electronic records, and the text dispute is only the latest front in a broader legal war.
