Stefon Diggs, the New England Patriots’ star wide receiver whose 1,000-yard seasons have dazzled, is now dodging a dynamite defamation dart from ex-girlfriend Gisselle, who claims in a viral October 17, 2025, interview on The Real (2M viewers) that he used his 2025 romance with Cardi B as a “fame wash” to “clean up his image,” never truly loving the rapper but exploiting her spotlight to scrub his bad-boy rep after 2024’s “pink cocaine” party scandal. The allegation, amid breakup buzz from Cardi’s July 2025 Instagram purge (deleted yacht snaps, 5M views), has #DiggsDrama exploding with 4.2M posts, fans fracturing between “Robbed Cardi!” and “PR ploy?”
The “never loved” nuke? A nuclear narrative: Gisselle, 25, a model and Diggs’ ex from 2023 (brief 2024 reconciliation), asserts he “dated Cardi for clout,” her “spotlight scrub” a scrub of his “party boy” past after the 2024 boat incident (TMZ, 10M views, “no charges”). “He wanted the glow to hide the grit—Cardi was the canvas,” she said, the “money motive” a motive for the marriage Diggs proposed in September 2025 (rejected, per TMZ), amid Cardi’s pregnancy (due 2026, first with Diggs). Diggs’ reps “deny vehemently,” but Gisselle’s “calculated charmer” a charmer that charmed the chart, his 2025 Patriots deal (£10M) a deal sweetened by Cardi’s “Bongos” buzz (500M streams).
The “fans divided”? A deluge of doubt: #CardiConspiracy rages with 3.2M posts, “Fame wash fraud!” vs. “Ex’s envy,” the “thunderclap” a clapback to Diggs’ 2025 lawsuit against Gisselle for “paternity fraud” (5-month-old child, DNA test demanded). Cardi’s “happy and strong” announcement (September 17, 2025, 10M likes) a “strong” that’s now a “strong” of scrutiny, her Offset divorce (July 2024, “hostile custody”) a echo of “ex’s echo.”
The “shaking the Superstar Saga”? A seismic shift: Diggs’ 2024 ACL tear (season-ending) and Cardi’s “Am I the Drama?” (2025, No. 1) a backdrop to the “breakup ballad,” the “revelation” a rewrite of their “sizzling” from May 2025 Knicks courtside (2M views) to July’s IG purge (5M speculation). October 17? Not interview – a inferno. Fans? Flooded with fire. The world’s watching – whispering “what’s real?” Their tale? Tangled, tantalizing.
