The Stefon Diggs drama somehow found another level this week. Just days after the former New England Patriots star walked away from court with a not-guilty verdict, his former personal chef Jamila “Mila” Adams went viral again, this time for posting a dancing cooking reel on Instagram. And the internet wasted zero time turning it into a full-blown social media war zone.
Timing was the trigger. The following details, derived from the verdict of May 6, 2026, revealed that Diggs had only just been acquitted of charges of felony strangulation and battery in connection with accusations brought against him by Adams following events in December 2025. Now, with Cardi B and Diggs also back in headlines after their public Maryland argument, fans are connecting every dot possible.

Former New England Patriot wide receiver Stefon Diggs returns to Dedham District Court after lunch break on Tuesday, May 5, 2026. Diggs did not speak with the media at any time.
The latest controversy exploded after Adams uploaded a video of herself dancing and twerking while cooking in the kitchen. Social media users immediately tied the clip to the courtroom battle that dominated NFL headlines earlier this month.

During the trial in Massachusetts, Diggs’ legal team argued the accusations were financially motivated. Defense lawyers said Adams sought millions of dollars in compensation and highlighted discrepancies in testimony, such as videos that showed her smiling and dancing in a coworker’s apartment just a few days after the alleged attack. This particular video was supposedly presented during testimony right before the jury declared him not guilty.
But the case was based on accusations that Diggs slapped, grabbed, and choked Adams during an argument at his Dedham home on December 2, 2025. Adams testified in court with emotion, whereas Diggs always denied the charges against him. His defense lawyers contended that the prosecutors lacked any physical proof of the assault.
Meanwhile, prosecutors admitted Adams was not a “perfect witness” however, maintained jurors should still consider her testimony seriously.
“A single shred of credible evidence was never presented,” defense attorney Andrew Kettlewell argued during closing statements.
“You should not disregard her account simply because she wasn’t perfect,” Assistant District Attorney Drew Virtue told the court. (Via NFL)
Once Diggs was acquitted, the internet reaction instantly shifted. Critics online accused Adams of trying to build influencer attention off the back of the high-profile case, and others defended her right to move on publicly after months of scrutiny.
The drama also spilled directly into Diggs’ relationship with Cardi. Adams recently posted a public message apologizing to the Grammy-winning rapper while alleging Diggs mistreated her during pregnancy. Neither Diggs nor Cardi publicly addressed those accusations.
But once again, things heated up this week as Cardi was caught screaming at Diggs outside a Maryland cafe. According to TMZ, the shouting match took approximately 10 minutes until everything died down. Soon after the video went viral, Cardi tried to play down the incident on social media.
Diggs, on the other hand, seems to have found his off-season less football-related and more headline-worthy than he expected. The veteran Pro Bowl player is still a free
