Stefon Diggs‘ personal chef took the stand today as his assault trial kicked off in Massachusetts, and the testimony painted a picture of fear so intense it left her physically shaken.
Jamila “Mila” Adams testified that during the December 2 incident at his Dedham home, Diggs came into her room and smacked her across the face with an open hand, then tackled her to the ground.
She became so terrified during the alleged attack that she urinated in her pants, a detail that showed just how violent the encounter felt to her in that moment.
The conflict between them had been building for weeks, according to Adams’ testimony. She’d been working as his personal chef since February 2025, living in his house and handling all his meals and nutrition.
But things deteriorated in November when Stefon Diggs found out she’d been discussing his personal business with other staff members, specifically about women he was sleeping with.
When she brought up a missed paycheck during their December encounter, things escalated fast. Adams said Diggs used the crook of his elbow to choke her and threw her on the bed, telling her something to the effect of “thought so.”
The timing of all this matters. Stefon Diggs was dealing with a lot in early 2026.
The Patriots were clawing their way to the Super Bowl, and during the same period, rumors started circulating that he and Cardi B had broken up.
The couple had welcomed a baby boy together in November 2025, but by February, fans noticed they’d unfollowed each other on Instagram.
She lasted until December 15 before leaving the job for good.
Diggs’ defense attorney, Andrew Kettlewell, told the jury that Adams was a “friend with benefits” who was upset about being snubbed from a trip to Miami and making $2,000 a week as his chef.
The defense claims the alleged assault never happened.
Diggs’ legal team has maintained his complete innocence, with his attorney previously stating the allegations stem from a financial dispute that wasn’t resolved to her satisfaction.
The Patriots released Diggs in March, saving $16.8 million in cap space while eating $9.7 million in dead money.
He’s now facing felony strangulation charges, misdemeanor assault and battery, and could face prison time if convicted.
The jury of six women and one man will decide whether Adams’ account holds up or if Diggs’ defense prevails.
