Stefon Diggs faces felony strangulation and misdemeanor assault charges after allegedly attacking a former chef over unpaid wages.

According to court documents and police reports, New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs is accused of felony strangulation and misdemeanor assault following an alleged encounter with a former private chef on December 2. The woman, who worked for Diggs, claimed that during a disagreement over unpaid wages, he slapped her and tried to choke her, making it difficult for her to breathe and making her fear for her life. Citing worries about Diggs' notoriety, she postponed filing charges until late December. Diggs' lawyer refutes every accusation, stating that it is based on a financial dispute and is unsupported. Diggs has refuted the allegations, and the Patriots say they will assist the NFL and law enforcement. Diggs will be arraigned on January 23, two days prior to the AFC Championship Game, and a motion to seal the police report is still pending. The case is still being looked into.
