Mila Adams Breaks Silence as Stefon Diggs Faces Assault Allegations
The legal battle surrounding New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs continues to unfold, with his former personal chef, Mila Adams, issuing a statement following his not-guilty plea on Friday, February 13, 2026. Adams, who alleges Diggs assaulted her in December 2025, spoke through TMZ, emphasizing her desire to respect the legal process.
Statement Highlights a Focus on Healing and Integrity
Adams’ statement directly addressed concerns about public narratives. She stated, “I did not seek public attention and reported this matter through the proper legal channels.” She further emphasized her commitment to avoiding rumors and misinformation, stating she will “not engage in rumors, personal attacks, or respond to misinformation on social media, and I will ask others to refrain from spreading false narratives.”
Her focus, she explained, is on “healing, my work, and moving forward with integrity.” Adams expressed trust in the legal system to determine the facts of the case.
The Allegations and Diggs’ Defense
Diggs is facing a felony strangulation charge and a misdemeanor assault charge stemming from an alleged altercation with Adams over unpaid wages. According to reports, the incident occurred at Diggs’ Dedham home. His legal team, however, maintains his innocence. Mitchell Schuster, a member of Diggs’ legal team, stated they are “confident that after the facts and evidence are reviewed in this case, he will be completely exonerated.”
Diggs is scheduled for a pre-trial hearing on April 1 and is currently under a court order to avoid contact with Adams.
Additional Legal Challenges for Diggs
This incident is not Diggs’ only current legal challenge. Just prior to Super Bowl LIX, he was as well named in a lawsuit alleging defamation and assault, as reported by TMZ.
The Rise in High-Profile Assault Cases Involving Public Figures
This case adds to a growing number of high-profile assault allegations involving athletes and celebrities. The increased scrutiny and rapid dissemination of information through social media and online news outlets have created a challenging landscape for those accused, as well as for the alleged victims.
The speed at which information spreads can lead to the formation of public opinion before all the facts are known, making it crucial for all parties involved to navigate the legal process carefully and responsibly.
What Happens Next?
The case is now proceeding through the legal system. The pre-trial hearing in April will likely determine the next steps, including potential discovery and a trial date. The outcome will depend on the evidence presented and the arguments made by both the prosecution and the defense.
