NFL star Stefon Diggs has filed a lawsuit against TV personality Mulan Hernandez, accusing her of assault and attempting to extort millions of dollars out of him.

The Houston Texans player filed the papers against Hernandez this week, claiming she showed up at his home in the early hours of June 7, 2024 after a night of partying and went on to “aggressively berate” him.

Stefon Diffs and Mulan Hernandez were a couple in the past for a few months before going their separate ways.

Diggs alleges that Hernandez entered his gaming room and refused to leave his home. 

The NFL star claims that despite his attempts to douse the situation, she wouldn’t stop and continued to rant at him.

Diggs says Hernandez didn’t end there and began destroying his possessions. He alleges that she broke an expensive PC, a $130,000 watch and even tossed his phone in the toilet.

Also, Diggs claims she punched him in the chest multiple times, saying: “You won’t be playing this year”, 

Stefon Diggs took that as a threat to his professional career and it is reportedly one of the major reasons he’s suing the TV personality.

After Hernandez refused to leave, Diggs rather left his apartment and says he proceeded to distance himself from the model following the incident, according to TMZ.

However, she refused to relent in pursuing him. After several failed attempts to connect, she allegedly resorted to extortion with the help of a friend Brianna Mack, who was also present at his home during the altercation.

According to the lawsuit, Hernandez initially visited a hospital on the evening of June 7 for nausea and vomiting after slipping on a wet kitchen floor. 

However, on June 14, she went to a different provider and claimed she had similar symptoms after being “punched in the back of the head with a closed fist.”

Diggs insists he never hit Hernandez, emphasizing that any sort of physical contact was made in self-defense. 

He also maintains he had no contact with her before the second doctor visit.

Stefon Diggs claims Hernandez and Mack have since attempted to extort him for millions and hopes the lawsuit will put an end to the ordeal. 

He is now suing both women for trespassing, intentional infliction of emotional distress, aiding and abetting, and conspiracy. 

Also, Stefon Diggs is suing the TV personality for assault and conversion, seeking monetary relief in the region of $250,000 and $1 million.

In his personal life, Diggs was recently spotted with  Cardi B on a romantic date on Valentine’s Day earlier this month.
