The personal chef who filed assault charges against Stefon Diggs dodged a question on Tuesday about whether she demanded $5.5 million from the Patriots star just weeks before the trial.
Jamila Adams, who took the stand, was asked several times by Diggs’ lawyer about whether her attorneys sought the large payout from Diggs three weeks before the high-profile Massachusetts trial kicked off Monday.
“Three weeks ago, your lawyer demanded $5.5 million from Stefon Diggs, correct?” Diggs’ defense attorney Sara Silva asked Adams.
“That is client-lawyer privilege. I cannot speak on that,” Adams said.
Silva incredulously questioned whether the accusers’ overtures to Diggs were covered under attorney-client privilege before asking a second time about the payout demand.
Prior to the jury being brought in, Judge Jeanmarie Carroll warned Adams to stay on topic during cross-examination by Diggs’ lawyers.
“This is not an opportunity for you to interject your own narrative and evade responding to questions the court deems appropriate,” Carroll warned Adams at the start of the second day of trial Tuesday. “If you continue to do so your entire testimony may be stricken. Am I clear?”
“Yes,” Adams said.
Prosecutors rested their case after Adams’ testimony wrapped up and Diggs has called his chief of staff to the stand to testify about the day Adams claims Diggs assaulted her.
On Monday, Adams cried as she claimed Diggs allegedly slapped and choked her on Dec. 2, 2025.
She also claims she and Diggs had a sexual relationship before she started working for him.
Adams worked for Diggs from July through December 2025 as a live-in personal chef at Diggs’ Dedham, Mass. mansion making $2,000 a week.
