While treating a torn ACL that ended its 2024 season early, Stefon Diggs would now be at the center of an extortion.
The broad receiver would have filed a legal action earlier this week against Mia Jones, who played on “Wives Orlando basketball” and another woman, alleging extortion.
According to the Houston Chronicle, Jones struck Diggs in the chest and “threatened (him) a deadly weapon” while Jones used it as a “story of abuse to extort millions of dollars”.

Diggs will request damages for “the unconducting of the defendant and the destruction of his property”.
“There were threats from [Jones] Whether he had to pay him money or that she was going to be public and ruin his career, “Diggs lawyer Kent Schaffer said on Thursday.” We are in a way to the point where the threats must stop. This is why the decision was made to go ahead and deposit. At some point, it simply should end. “”

Diggs and Jones had a “occasional” relationship last year before the first alleged incident on June 7, when the two women entered Diggs’ apartment and “refused to leave”. On that day, Diggs would have been struck and its surveillance and game system was destroyed.
The women then tried to extort money from Diggs thereafter, which led to “serious emotional distress”, according to The Chronicle.
Diggs was exchanged at Houston’s Texans last year, but he tore his ACL in his eighth game of the season in October; He is now a free agent. Before that, Diggs, 31, had six consecutive campaigns of 1,000 yards, leading the league in 2020 with the Buffalo Bills.
