Cardi B’s Boyfriend Stefon Diggs Sued By His Ex Over Alleged Assault And Seeking Between $250,000 And $1 million
Cardi B’s beau, Stefon Diggs, was sued by his ex-girlfriend Mulan Hernandez for allegedly assaulting her and attempting to silence her.
The “Basketball Wives Orlando” alum filed a countersuit against the NFL star in April after the latter initially accused her of assault in a separate lawsuit in February — both suits were obtained by Page Six.
She denied Diggs’ allegations in the Houston-based filing, and claimed he was the one who was physically aggressive during their brief relationship in 2024.
Hernandez, 24, claimed the New England Patriots star, 31, allegedly attacked her from behind and punched the back of her head on June 7, 2024.
The alleged incident left the TV personality with a concussion.
She claimed that Diggs then “mounted an effort to induce [her] into signing a non-disclosure agreement so that [his] malicious and egregious act would be kept from the NFL and from public view.”
The wide receiver allegedly acted “frantically” and sent his assistant to Houston to convince Hernandez to sign the NDA.
It doesn’t appear that the reality star signed the agreement, but the outlet noted that her lawyers attempted to convince Diggs’ attorney to hold his client accountable in November 2024.
Per the filing, Hernandez requested to be awarded a minimum of $250,000 and up to $1 million for damages she received from her physical and mental pain, along with medical bills.
Reps for Diggs weren’t immediately available to Page Six for comment. Diggs originally sued Hernandez and Brianna Mack, a third party, accusing them of assault, emotional distress, trespass, conspiracy and extortion in February.
In the filing, the professional footballer claimed he would allow the duo to stay at his apartment in Houston.
Recalling the morning of June 7, 2024, he alleged that Hernandez assaulted him and threatened to destroy his apartment after a night of partying.
“Hernandez burst through the bathroom and into the gaming room, visibly intoxicated and upset. [Diggs] told Hernandez to leave, but she refused,” the filing read.
“[Diggs] attempted to diffuse the situation by attempting to remove himself from Jones’ line of fire, but she continued to castigate him,” the lawsuit continued.
He claimed that Hernandez threw his video game console on the floor and damaged a $130,000 watch before tossing his phone in the toilet.
The former Minnesota Vikings player alleged that his ex punched his chest several times and used a weapon to threaten him, noting that Mack was present.
Diggs claimed Hernandez slipped on a wet floor but vehemently denied fighting back.
He also alleged that Hernandez went to the doctors that night after experiencing nausea and received medication.
Diggs cited that Hernandez also went to the doctors on June 14, 2024, and “falsely” alleged that she was hit “in the back of the head with a closed fist.”
He also claimed that Hernandez’s lawyer stated she was living with Diggs and was more than one month pregnant with his child when the alleged assault occurred.
“In the weeks and months that followed, Hernandez and Mack both individually and with the assistance of counsel, tried to use their newly spun tale to extort millions of dollars from [Diggs],” the lawsuit stated.
“[Diggs] brings this case because he will not be victimized by the attempts of defendants to extort money from him. It is defendants who are liable to [Diggs], not the other way around.”
At the time, Diggs requested between $250,000 and $1 million from his ex and Mack.
Diggs, who went public with his romance with Cardi B, 32, in May, is also facing a paternity suit from a woman named Aileen Lopera, claiming he is the father of her child, who was born in April.
After the petition was filed in December 2024, Diggs responded in July, stating he wasn’t sure if he was the father.
Diggs, meanwhile, is expecting his first child with Cardi amid her divorce proceedings from her estranged husband, Offset, with whom she shares three kids.
