Stefon Diggs is once again dominating headlines but not for his performance on the field. The New England Patriots wide receiver has been charged with felony strangulation following a December 2 incident and the timing could not be more damaging. The arrest came just one day after the Patriots defeated the New York Giants on Monday Night Football pushing the team deeper into playoff contention

Diggs appeared in Dedham District Court through his attorney who requested the police report be sealed. During the hearing the attorney also revealed that Diggs made a financial offer to settle with the alleged victim. Despite the charge Diggs categorically denies all allegations. The Patriots released a statement saying they support Diggs and will cooperate fully with the NFL and legal authorities as the situation develops

This case is only the latest chapter in an ongoing string of legal battles for the star receiver. Over the past year Diggs has faced multiple lawsuits including an assault claim from ex girlfriend Mulan Hernandez who is seeking damages ranging from two hundred fifty thousand to one million dollars. Hernandez alleges Diggs attacked her during an altercation at his apartment

Diggs has pushed back aggressively filing his own lawsuit against Hernandez and another woman accusing them of extortion assault and trespassing. Court filings claim Hernandez physically attacked Diggs and damaged his property during the incident. The drama escalated further when influencer Christopher Blake Griffith accused Diggs of sexual assault online prompting Diggs to file a federal defamation lawsuit calling the claims fabricated

Off the field Diggs is also facing scrutiny due to his relationship with Cardi B. Fans criticized the rapper for standing by him and she responded publicly asking for support instead of judgment. With an arraignment scheduled just days before the AFC Championship game Diggs legal troubles are colliding directly with the Patriots playoff hopes. This story is far from finished and the fallout could stretch well beyond the football season
