Stefon Diggs has filed a lawsuit in which he claims he is the victim of extortion.
The Houston Chronicle’s Michael Shapiro published a story on Thursday regarding the matter. Attorneys filed a lawsuit in Harris County on Wednesday on behalf of Diggs. The lawsuit named Mia Jones and Brianna “Brii” Mack as defendants. Jones is more commonly known as reality TV personality Mulan Hernandez.
The lawsuit includes six counts alleging misconduct by the defendants, including the destruction of Diggs’ property. Diggs alleges that he was threatened with a deadly weapon and threatened with an extortion attempt for millions of dollars.
Diggs’ attorney told the Chronicle that they filed the lawsuit as a preemptive measure against the alleged extortion attempt.
Diggs, who was traded by the Buffalo Bills to the Houston Texans in April 2024, is said to have had a casual relationship with Jones for a few months prior to an alleged June 7 incident. It seems like a fight took place on June 7. Jones and Mack allegedly destroyed property and refused to leave Diggs’ home that day. Diggs claimed to have been punched in the chest by Jones, who also allegedly threw punches at his head. Jones allegedly destroyed Diggs’ watch and gaming system.
Jones made a hospital visit that morning after dealing with “nausea and vomiting” after a long night of partying. She said she had not suffered any physical abuse. She and Mack were said to have made a second hospital visit a week later despite not having seen Diggs that day.
Jones (aka “Mulan Hernandez,”) has appeared on “Basketball Wives Orlando.” She is also an aspiring basketball player.
Diggs, 31, is a four-time Pro Bowl player. He had 47 catches for 496 yards and three touchdowns last season with Houston.
Stefon Diggs Predicted to Pair With $240 Million NFC East QB
Houston Texans wide receiver Stefon Diggs was limited to just eight games in 2024 after a torn ACL in the team's Week 8 win over the Indianapolis Colts.
He still had a solid amount of production in that time, though, racking up 47 receptions, 496 yards and three touchdowns on 64 targets.
Now, though, with no extension in place, Diggs is set to hit the open market, where Vinnie Iyer of The Sporting News predicts he will sign with the Dallas Cowboys
"He can find a good home elsewhere in the state supporting CeeDee Lamb at a decent price," he wrote . "It doesn't hurt he can also play with his younger brother Trevon in Dallas while reuniting with former Bills offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey, the Cowboys' new passing game specialist."
That would pair him up with quarterback Dak Prescott, who's getting ready to enter the first season of his four-year $240 million extension with the Cowboys.
It's also a situation in which Diggs wouldn't have to come in and instantly become the top targeted wide receiver on the team, as that's a role Lamb has filled every year since 2021.
If he could avoid injuries and return to being the same player who was named to four straight Pro Bowls from 2020 to 2023, then the Cowboys could put together one of the best wide receiver duos in the NFL.
