According to new court filings, Griffith’s legal team filed a motion to compel Diggs to produce evidence showing how the allegations have impacted him financially. Griffith claims Diggs has been dragging his feet in the discovery process.

Griffith’s team also accuses Diggs of trying to block the discovery process, saying he is attempting to “obstruct any discovery” and “can’t have it both ways.”

In October, Diggs filed a defamation lawsuit against Griffith, accusing the influencer of fabricating the allegations for attention. In that lawsuit, Diggs claimed Griffith “intentionally and knowingly lied for online clout,” and that the accusations caused serious damage to his reputation.
