Footage Shows Stefon Diggs Shedding Tears After Being Found Not Guilty In Assault & Strangulation Case
According to ESPN, day two of Stefon Diggs’ trial commenced on Tuesday, May 5. During day two, Jamila Adams returned to the stand and alleged Diggs offered her $100,000 to recant her assault claims.
Per the outlet, Adams’ alleged demands for $19,000 and later $5.5 million throughout her relationship with Diggs were also discussed by lawyers. Additionally, testimony was reportedly shared “from friends and employees who said she did not appear injured in the days after” Diggs allegedly strangled and assaulted her. Per AP News, the defense argued that Adams’ claims were sparked by a “disagreement over a planned trip to Miami.”
Ultimately, the defense rested its case on the prosecution’s failure to present “a single shred of credible evidence” to prove the act of assault. Diggs was found not guilty.

More On The Assault & Strangulation Case Involving Stefon Diggs & Jamila Adams
As The Shade Room previously reported, in December 2025, Stefon Diggs was charged with felony strangulation and misdemeanor assault. Furthermore, it was alleged that earlier that month, Jamila Adams approached him to discuss her alleged unpaid wages. Additionally, on December 2, he allegedly entered her bedroom, slapped her, and tried to choke her.
In response, Stefon Diggs’ lawyer denied the allegations.
“The timing and motivation for making the allegations is crystal clear: they are the direct result of an employee-employer financial dispute that was not resolved to the employee’s satisfaction,” his attorney reportedly alleged at the time.
In January, Diggs said he was going through a “very emotional time,” then, in early February, Jamila Adams broke her silence on the alleged incident.
Then, on May 4, Jamila Adams took the stand for day one of the trial. Furthermore, she revealed that her relationship with Diggs had been sexual. And she believed she would be paid $2,000 a week to be his live-in chef. Ultimately, their relationship and live-in agreement reportedly hit a snag over another woman. And this resulted in Adams allegedly being excluded from a trip to Miami.
“We have taken these allegations seriously from day one, and that’s exactly why we were eager for the facts to come to light through the legal process… Professional athletes have a target on their back. When someone sees a uniform and a contract, they see leverage; they see a settlement. And they’re counting on that pressure in the court of public opinion to drive a default decision to settle regardless of the facts of the matter,” Diggs’ attorneys reportedly asserted after the verdict. “The evidence has shown what we’ve maintained from day one: Mr. Diggs was wrongly accused, and this case represents exactly the kind of opportunistic targeting that players can face the moment they step off the field.”
