A complaint filed against Patriots star Stefon Diggs alleges sexual battery, battery, conspiracy, intentional infliction of emotional distress and defamation.

Christopher Blake Griffith, an online influencer and stylist who claims Diggs hired him to help promote and design his fashion label, filed the claims and alleges Diggs drugged and attempted to sexually assault him at Diggs’ Maryland home on May 22, 2023, and then conspired to kill him.

Griffith originally made the allegations on Instagram in August, and Diggs subsequently filed a libel lawsuit against Griffith, accusing him of concocting a fake story. Griffith filed the counterclaims on Friday in Maryland federal court.

“Chris Griffith is going to have his say and is looking forward to getting justice for the sexual and physical attacks perpetrated against him,” Griffith’s lawyer, Jake Lebowitz of Posey Lebowitz PLLC, told The Post in a statement.

In the suit, obtained by The Post, Griffith alleges Diggs “intentionally drugged” him and then “made unwanted sexual advances toward” Griffith, including “exposing his genitalia” and “attempting to kiss” him “on the mouth.” Griffith alleges Diggs “sexually battered” him “by grabbing hold” of his shoulder, pulling him closer and kissing his ear with his tongue. Then, Griffith alleges a week later he was attacked by three of Diggs’ “close associates,” including his brother, Darez.
