Christopher Blake Griffith wasted no time reopening his public fight with Stefon Diggs after the wide receiver agreed to terms with the Washington Commanders.
Griffith, a social media influencer and stylist, posted a series of photos and videos on Instagram featuring himself and Diggs, putting the long-running dispute back in the spotlight just after Diggs reached a one-year deal with Washington.
The feud traces back to an alleged May 2023 incident at Diggs’ Maryland home. Griffith says the two were at a charity basketball event in Washington, D.C., before heading to Diggs’ residence in Rockville, Maryland. In a complaint filed in late 2024, he accused Diggs of sexual battery, battery and intentional infliction of emotional distress, alleging the wide receiver drugged him and tried to sexually assault him after Griffith rejected Diggs’ advances.
Griffith also claimed Diggs’ brother, Darez Diggs, assaulted him in an elevator in Los Angeles in an effort to silence him. He later went public on social media in August 2025, tagging brands tied to Diggs.
Diggs has denied the allegations and responded with a defamation lawsuit, saying Griffith made up the story to grow his social media following and hurt Diggs’ reputation.
The case has already moved through the courts. In June, a federal judge ordered Diggs to give a full, non-evasive explanation of his relationship with Griffith, but also ruled that he did not have to answer questions about prior possession or distribution of controlled substances.
As for Darez Diggs, he pleaded no contest to felony grand theft tied to the Los Angeles elevator incident and was sentenced to two years’ probation and community service.
The Commanders deal only added more fuel to the conversation. Diggs signed a one-year contract worth up to $12 million on Friday, and Antonio Brown jumped in on X on Wednesday after the initial reports surfaced.
Brown’s post was short and pointed: "Pride movement now back in DC,"
His comment landed against the backdrop of Diggs’ still-active legal fight with Griffith, who continues to accuse the veteran receiver of drugging and sexually assaulting him. Diggs, meanwhile, remains in denial and has kept his defamation case moving forward.

Commanders Just Sent A Clear Message About Protecting Jayden Daniels
The Commanders kept working to reinforce the front in the days leading up to the 2026 season, bringing in veteran help where it matters most. Washington signed center Daniel Brunskill, offensive tackle Nicholas Petit-Frere and guard Max Scharping to the active roster, a clear sign the team is still focused on shoring up protection and adding stability on the offensive line.
Along with those additions, the team released wide receiver Chris Hilton Jr. and guard Timothy McKay, and placed defensive tackle D.J. Davidson on the Reserve/Retired List. For a team trying to make life easier for Jayden Daniels, the emphasis is obvious, but the larger question is how quickly these new pieces can settle in and whether this reshuffled line can hold up once the pressure starts to build.

Commanders Secondary Suddenly Has Some Young Defenders On Notice
Washingtons secondary is still sorting itself out in camp, and the early days of the new defensive scheme have already created some pressure points for a few young defenders. Rasul Douglas has been a strong addition since arriving, while Trey Amos is on the physically unable to perform list, leaving the team to keep adjusting its coverage mix as practices roll on. Mike Sainristil and Quan Martin have not yet firmly locked down their spots, which has made the competition around the back end of the defense worth watching every day.
Jeremy Reaves has been one of the players getting more attention in that shuffle, with Dan Quinn praising the safetys communication and the way he helps organize things on the field. Washington is still trying to figure out the best fit for several pieces in the secondary, and that uncertainty matters because the staff is using camp to sort roles before the real games begin. For a unit that wants to be faster, more connected and more reliable, these early reps are already carrying some weight. [Read more 🡒]
