As he deals with a torn ACL that ended his 2024 season early, Stefon Diggs is now reportedly at the center of an extortion lawsuit.

The wide receiver reportedly filed a lawsuit earlier this week against Mia Jones, who starred on "Basketball Wives Orlando," and another woman, alleging extortion.

According to the Houston Chronicle, Jones punched Diggs in the chest and "threatened (him) with a deadly weapon" as Jones used him as a "tale of abuse to extort millions of dollars."

Diggs is reportedly seeking damages for "defendant misconduct and the destruction of his property."

"There were threats coming from [Jones] that he had to pay her money or she was going to go public and ruin his career," Diggs' attorney Kent Schaffer told the Houston Chronicle on Thursday. "We're kind of at the point where the threats have to stop. That's why the decision was made to go ahead and file. At some point it just has to end."
