In a contentious legal dispute, the social media personality who accused NFL star Stefon Diggs of sexual assault is now pushing for the court to compel Diggs to disclose his financial records. The accuser, Christopher Blake Griffith, alleges that Diggs has been obstructing the discovery process in their ongoing court case.
According to newly filed legal documents, Griffith and his legal team have submitted a motion requesting the judge to order Diggs to produce evidence demonstrating how the sexual assault allegations have impacted him financially and professionally. Griffith's attorney contends that "the NFL player does not get to sue and hide" when it comes to substantiating his claims.
This development follows Diggs' defamation lawsuit against Griffith, filed in November, which asserts that Griffith knowingly fabricated allegations of being drugged, sexually assaulted, and targeted in a murder conspiracy for online attention. Diggs' legal action claims these false statements have significantly damaged his reputation.
Griffith's recent filing argues that Diggs initiated the lawsuit to silence him and is now attempting to "obstruct any discovery that would test his claims." The motion emphasizes that Diggs "can't have it both ways" by pursuing legal action while resisting the disclosure of relevant financial information.
The case continues to unfold as both parties prepare for further legal proceedings, with the court yet to rule on the motion for compelled financial disclosure.
