Stefon Diggs strangulation row: Will Patriots star play vs Dolphins next week? Full response here

Stefon Diggs has denied allegations of violence that have surfaced against him, saying they are “unsubstantiated” and “uncorroborated”. A newly released police report, first obtained by People, stated that Diggs hit and then choked a female employee during a dispute over money earlier this month.

Diggs, who is dating Cardi B, denied the allegations in a statement through his attorney, David Meier, according to the New York Post. “They are unsubstantiated, uncorroborated, and were never investigated — because they did not occur,” Meier said in a statement Tuesday, December 30. “The timing and motivation for making the allegations is crystal clear: they are the direct result of an employee-employer financial dispute that was not resolved to the employee’s satisfaction.”
