Stefon Diggs is fighting against some serious claims from a social media influencer.

The NFL star filed a libel lawsuit on October 1, according to TMZ, accusing influencer Christopher Blake Griffith of making up a story about the New England Patriots wide receiver.

Griffith claims Diggs, 31, drugged and sexually assaulted him in 2023.

In the lawsuit, Diggs claims he, along with Griffith and others, went to a club in Washington D.C. after a charity basketball game at the time, before going to Diggs’s home. Diggs then claims he went to his bedroom to wrap up the evening while his assistant asked Griffith to leave the house. It was at this time that the alleged sexual assault took place.

Stefon Diggs’ Ex Accuses Him of Trying to Silence Her Over Alleged Assault

In the summer of 2025, over two years after the alleged incident, Griffith took to social media to put Diggs under fire about what he claims happened the evening, alleging that the wide receiver “drugged and sexually assaulted” him that night and conspired to have him killed to “suppress his gay/bisexual secrets from becoming exposed.”

Griffith posted an Instagram story at the time, claiming the assault and tagging the footwear company Ugg and actress Sarah Jessica Parker in the post. (Both had just participated in a campaign for Ugg).

The influencer said he was “disgusted” that the company hired Diggs for the campaign after he filed a police report from the May 2023 incident.

He also shared what he claimed was a copy of his police report in the August 2025 post, tagging the NFL and the Patriots in the post.

“Y’all gon let Aaron Hernandez 2.0 just run wild without penalty?” Griffith posted on his Instagram story, referring to the late tight end who was found guilty of first-degree murder in 2015 before dying by suicide while incarcerated in 2017.

“I’m aware that you’re aware & since we’re BOTH aware, let’s act accordingly.”

Griffith, in the police report, claimed Diggs offered him candy that was “laced with drugs” without his knowledge.

He then accused Diggs of putting his tongue in Griffith’s ear in a “kissing” fashion, and that Griffith was asked by three people to stay quiet on the events that allegedly took place.

In a statement obtained by multiple outlets, Griffith’s lawyer, Jake Lebowitz, denied Diggs’ claims that the events ever happened.

“Mr. Griffith is looking forward to showing the world in Court that regardless of the fairy tale fabricated by Mr. Diggs’ high-priced New York Lawyers, he is the victim of Mr. Diggs’ unwanted sexual advances and his brother’s violent attacks.

He continued: “Not only will we defend against these false allegations but our counterclaims for sexual battery will be filed shortly.”

Diggs is seeking damages and attorneys’ fees but he didn’t specify how much money he’s seeking.

Diggs recently welcomed a baby with his girlfriend, rapper Cardi B, the couple announced on Thursday November 13 via Instagram.

“My life has always been a combination of different chapters and different seasons. My last chapter was the beginning of a new season. Starting over is never easy but it’s been so worth it! I brought new music and a new album to the world! A new baby into my world, and one more reason to be the best version of me, one more reason to love me more than anything else or anyone else so I can continue giving my babies the love and life they deserve,” Cardi B wrote via the Instagram post’s caption.

Karen Huger has officially returned to social media after making her first public appearance since her prison release at BravoCon 2025 over the weekend.

“Thank you @nbcuniversal and @bravotv for the incredibly warm and welcoming energy. My heart is full,” Karen, 62, wrote via Instagram on Sunday, November 16, marking her first post since returning home from jail in September following her DUI conviction.

The Real Housewives of Potomac star shared “a heartfelt thank you” to her team and “new favorite person” Harbison Studio creator Charles Elliott Harbison who “thoughtfully crafted” her first look for BravoCon.

“He understood my vision, honored my light, and helped shape a moment that feels both fresh and deeply aligned,” Karen gushed, referring to her white peplum dress with white and black floral appliqués. “I’m truly grateful to have his artistry and his brand part of my new chapter.”

RHOP’s Karen Huger Gets Standing Ovation at BravoCon After Prison Release

Karen’s social media comeback follows her foray back into the Bravo universe as part of the star-studded lineup featured during the annual BravoCon three-day event in Las Vegas, which kicked off on Friday, November 14.

Although Karen was noticeably absent from the RHOP panel on Friday, she surprised fans later that evening by presenting the first award at “The Bravos” event. When she took the stage, Karen received a standing ovation.

The warm reception came two months after Us Weekly confirmed on September 2 that Karen was released from the Montgomery County Detention Center in Maryland six months early.

Karen was sentenced two years in jail — with one year suspended — after she was charged and found guilty of a DUI and DWI for her involvement in a March 2024 car accident in Potomac, Maryland.

“Thank you all for your prayers and well wishes during this very frightening experience. I am still in shock from last night’s incident but grateful to be alive today. With the passing of my beloved mother, grief comes and goes in waves, and with Mother’s Day approaching it has felt more like a tsunami,” Karen told TMZ in a statement at the time.

She explained her state of mind during the accident, saying, “Last night I met a girlfriend for dinner, we talked and brought up some very emotionally sensitive topics. I was crying on my way home and saw a car heading right for me. I swerved to avoid the head-on collision, hit the divider and then a tree. I’m hurt, bruised up a bit, but so grateful I am alive! I did receive citations, one of which was unrelated to the incident which is understandable, but what was most surprising is that the car that almost hit me just drove away!”

Karen added, “I would like to stress, it’s important to understand your emotional state when driving and may this be a reminder to all to use their seatbelts. My mother may be my guardian angel, but the seatbelt saved my life.”

Bravo Captures Karen Huger’s Release From Jail in ‘RHOP’ Sneak Peek

At the time of the accident, TMZ reported that Karen was driving her 2017 Maserati in an “aggressive manner” when she hit a crosswalk sign and a parking sign.

In December 2024, Karen was found guilty on charges of DUI, DWI, negligently driving a vehicle in a careless and imprudent manner endangering property, life and person, failure to control vehicle speed on the highway to avoid a collision, driving a vehicle in excess of reasonable and prudent speed on the highway, driving a vehicle on the highway with suspended registration and failure to notify administration of change of address within 30 days. She began serving her one-year behind bars in February.

While in jail, season 10 of RHOP began filming without Karen. During the “Potomac Takes Vegas” BravoCon panel on Friday, the network dropped the midseason trailer, featuring Karen’s return.

“Here we are,” producer Andy Cohen says in the preview, showing Karen in her first sit-down interview following her release. “You are a free woman.”

Karen replies, “It’s time to talk about my addiction.”

The Real Housewives of Potomac airs on Bravo Sundays at 8 p.m. ET. Stream old episodes anytime on Peacock.

LILONGWE-(MaraviPost)-The Football Association of Malawi (FAM) has announced the postponement of the much-anticipated NBM Women’s Premiership match between Silver Strikers Ladies and MDF Lionesses, which was scheduled to take place on Sunday at Silver Stadium in Lilongwe.

According to FAM, the decision was made after match officials inspected the pitch and found it unplayable due to excessive waterlogging caused by heavy rains earlier in the day.

The association said the safety of players and officials could not be guaranteed under the conditions.

Spectators who had already gathered at the venue were left disappointed as the pitch continued to hold large pools of water, making ball movement and footing nearly impossible.

Match stewards and ground staff made several attempts to clear the water but the continuous downpour made the situation worse.

Both Silver Strikers Ladies and MDF Lionesses had already completed their warm-ups when the match was halted.

Coaches from both camps agreed with the decision, noting that playing under such conditions would increase the risk of injuries.

The clash between the two sides has been one of the most talked-about fixtures of the current season. Silver Strikers Ladies, who have been in impressive form, were aiming to extend their unbeaten run, while MDF Lionesses hoped to bounce back from recent mixed results.

The postponement means both teams now have additional time to revise their game plans and recover key players ahead of the rescheduled tie.

FAM has confirmed that the match will now take place on Monday, 17 November, at the same venue Silver Stadium with kickoff set for 14:00 hours. Supporters have been encouraged to return on the new date in large numbers.

The United Democratic Front (UDF), once a formidable force in Malawi’s political theatre, is now facing an inexorable decline, rapidly slipping toward political oblivion.

The recent exodus of senior leaders to the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), including prominent figures like Yaumi Mpaweni, Gilbert Mwechumu, Janet Gwaza, Yusuf Mwawa, and Ken Ndanga, is not merely a setback—it is a profound indictment of the party’s waning influence and leadership crisis.

This unraveling, many argue, is the direct consequence of Atupele Muluzi’s inability to steer the UDF through turbulent political waters, a failure that has hastened the party’s demise.

Atupele Muluzi, scion of a political dynasty, inherited a party steeped in history and expectation.

His father, Bakili Muluzi, a two-term president and iconic figure in Malawian politics, famously cautioned that some political parties end like curtains—once vibrant and full of promise, but eventually drawn closed, signaling an end to their relevance.

The UDF appears to be following this somber prophecy with painful accuracy, with Atupele at the helm during this descent.

The crux of Atupele’s failure lies in his leadership style and political strategy—or rather, the glaring lack thereof.

During the recent electoral campaigns, instead of articulating a compelling vision or offering concrete solutions to Malawi’s socio-economic challenges, Atupele squandered valuable political capital by engaging in petty insults and ridicule directed at his opponents, notably Peter Mutharika. This strategy was not only unproductive; it was self-destructive.

By focusing on derision rather than dialogue, Atupele alienated voters and squandered opportunities to position the UDF as a credible alternative.

This approach was akin to digging a political grave with his own hands.

His constituents, the very people who once placed their trust in him, expressed their disenchantment at the polls by denying him a parliamentary seat.

This rejection was a clear signal that Atupele had become a spent force in Malawian politics, unable to inspire or mobilize his base.

When a leader loses the confidence of his own people, the ripple effects are devastating for the party’s overall morale and cohesion.

Atupele’s failure is not isolated to campaign missteps but is emblematic of deeper, systemic weaknesses within the UDF’s current leadership. Where once there was clarity and purpose, now there is fragmentation and ambiguity.

The party’s inability to retain its senior leaders, who have defected en masse to the DPP, underscores the internal crisis.

These defections are a visible symptom of a party in freefall, a body politic losing its vital organs and unable to sustain life.

The DPP’s growing allure, especially in the Eastern Region, is no coincidence.

It represents not just a rival party’s ascendancy but a vacuum left by UDF’s leadership vacuum.

The DPP’s promise of tangible achievements—such as the implementation of free secondary education—resonates with the electorate, contrasting starkly with UDF’s lackluster messaging and empty rhetoric.

This shift is emblematic of a broader realignment in Malawi’s political landscape where the UDF is increasingly marginalized.

Atupele’s leadership failures echo the lessons from his father’s political career, which was marked by pragmatism, strategic foresight, and a deep connection with the grassroots.

Bakili Muluzi understood that political survival depended on substance over spectacle, on building consensus rather than sowing division.

Atupele’s tenure, by contrast, has been marred by disunity and a failure to build a coherent narrative that addresses the hopes and anxieties of Malawians.

The party that once commanded the stage is now relegated to the wings, its voice fading into echoes of past glories.

The defection of senior leaders is akin to the unraveling of the threads that held the party fabric together, each departure weakening the whole until it can no longer hold its shape.

To suggest that UDF will rebound under the current leadership is to ignore the tangible realities on the ground.

The party’s infrastructure is eroding, its grassroots support is dissipating, and its leadership lacks the vision and charisma to reverse the tide.

The political landscape in Malawi has shifted decisively, and UDF’s inability to adapt or reinvent itself spells a grim future.

The downfall of the UDF is a cautionary tale about leadership and legacy. Atupele Muluzi’s tenure has exposed the fragile foundations upon which the party now stands.

His failure to connect with voters, articulate a clear vision, and maintain party unity has accelerated a decline that may well be irreversible.

Like a curtain drawn on a once-great production, the UDF’s era is ending—not with a bang, but with a whisper of faded hopes and broken promises.

The political theatre of Malawi has moved on, and the UDF, under Atupele’s leadership, has become a shadow of its former self.

For those who once believed in the party’s promise, the current reality is a bitter pill—a reminder that in politics, as in life, the wrong leadership can turn the brightest spotlight into a dimming exit.

The curtain is falling, and the stage belongs now to others.

BLANTYRE-(MaraviPost)-Vice President Jane Ansah has expressed heartfelt appreciation to the people of the Eastern Region for their overwhelming support during the September 16, 2025 General Election.

Ansah delivered the message during a rally held at St. Augustine 2 Primary School Ground, where thousands gathered to meet the country’s newly sworn-in Vice President.

She said she attended the event on behalf of President Professor Arthur Peter Mutharika, who requested her to personally thank the people of the region for the strong vote of confidence they showed in his leadership.

She emphasized that President Mutharika is deeply grateful for the trust placed in him by Malawians from all corners of the country.

She further noted that the President holds a special appreciation for the Eastern Region, which delivered exceptional support to the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP).

Ansah said it was important for her to deliver the President’s message of “ZIKOMO KWAMBIRI” directly to the people.

The Vice President also conveyed President Mutharika’s assurance that no Malawian will die of hunger under his administration.

She revealed that the President has already begun distributing maize to families affected by hunger across the nation.

She added that the food relief programme will continue until every household facing hunger is reached.

Ansah reaffirmed that the DPP-led government is committed to delivering meaningful development to the Eastern Region.

She said her office will work tirelessly to ensure improved livelihoods, expanded opportunities, and inclusive growth for all citizens.

She praised the people of the Eastern Region for their trust, energy, and unwavering support during and after the elections.

Ansah concluded her address by expressing gratitude on behalf of the President, the government, and the DPP leadership.

From friends to lovers, Jordyn Woods and Karl-Anthony Towns have supported each other through numerous ups and downs over the years.

The former best friend of Kylie Jenner made waves in February 2019 when she and Tristan Thompson kissed while he was dating Khloé Kardashian. While Woods and Jenner had a falling out over the scandal, Woods found love with her own basketball star — whom she had previously been strictly pals with — the following year.

Woods and Towns started dating in May 2020 after meeting through friends.

“The right person will bring a lot out of you. We have been friends for a long time,” she told Extra that September. “Naturally, we both connected about losing a parent at a very young age … so it was a very organic relationship that we’d been best friends for a while.”

Southern Charm star Salley Carson had quite the moment with one of the The McBee Dynasty: Real American Cowboys cast members at BravoCon 2025.

“The McBee boys are here. That was a weird run-in,” Salley, 30, told Us Weekly exclusively on Saturday, November 15. “It was just a little awkward.”

Bravo fans know that Salley briefly flew to Missouri to visit Steven McBee Jr. earlier this year.

“It was, like, a second,” Salley told Us when asked if something romantic went down between them. Rodrigo Reyes joined Salley for the interview — and acted as the peanut gallery.

“Wow, I bet he’s gonna love to hear that,” he quipped. Salley attempted to clarify through laughter.

“No, not like that. I mean, kind of like that,” Salley said. “You guys, don’t get me in trouble. No, they’re great.”

Salley said that she “vibed” with the brothers — Jesse, Cole and Brayden McBee — and other members of the family more than Steven Jr., 32.

“He’s a great guy,” she continued. “He’s amazing but our personalities didn’t match.”

This past August, eagle-eyed Bravo fans raised some eyebrows when Salley commented on a series of fire emojis on a shirtless Instagram photo of Steven Jr. The following month, videos went viral of her attending an event in Missouri with the family.

While things fizzled out between Salley and Steven Jr., fans will get to see her love life play out even further during the forthcoming 11th season of Southern Charm, set to premiere next week.

“It’s gonna be really fun to watch it unfold,” Salley teased to Us, noting that her opinion about costar Craig Conover changed throughout the season.

“I love Craig, yeah, but there’s sides to all of us that are ugly. There’s beautiful sides to all of us,” she explained. “I think all of us have our flaws, and we all need to work them out. I think we all saw every side of each other during this season.”

Rodrigo, 40, also teased what fans can see from Craig, 36, this time around, following his breakup from Paige DeSorbo. (Craig and Paige, 33, split in late 2024.)

“We’ve been friends for a long time. We, kind of, see Craig reemerge as the old Craig,” Rodrigo explained. “After Paige, he is trying to run the straight and narrow path, and now he’s [gone] back to being a little bit of a party boy, and some old behaviors come.”

He called it “the old Southern Charm” — which is the consensus across the cast.

“Everyone’s natural, loose and letting it be, instead of trying to control the narrative,” he explained. “I feel like that’s when you lose the whole plot of our friendships — if you’re trying to manufacture things. It’s better this way to see everyone be natural and be comfortable in owning and working through their mistakes.”

Overall, they’re both “excited” for fans to finally see the new season.

“I don’t know if I’m excited about myself,” Salley joked, explaining that she’s most nervous to see “all the mess to unfold.”
