Stefon Diggs is slamming the man suing him for alleged sexual assault … and he vehemently denies whipping out his penis while they were hanging out.

The NFL star called out Christopher Griffith as they continue their back-and-forth in court ... saying Griffith's claims about Stefon's penis is "completely false and defamatory."

As we've reported, Stefon sued Chris for spreading alleged lies about him, and Christopher countersued over an alleged assault on May 22, 2023, at Stefon's Maryland home.

Christopher claims Stefon took out his penis and tried to make sexual advances, which Chis rejected, after Stefon drugging him. He said Stefon had his brother and two other men attack him a week later to keep him silent. Stefon says the entire thing never happened and Christopher caused his rep harm.

Mailson Araujo, a Brazilian bodybuilding influencer and rising pro, has died at just 35 years old ... days before he was set to take the stage.

The muscleman died on Monday after suffering a medical emergency at his home in Alagoinhas, Brazil, according to reports, despite the quick action of his mother, a nursing tech, who immediately rendered aid -- in addition to first responders.

Araujo was pronounced dead at the scene. His cause of death hasn't been announced.

Aaron Donald's wife appears to be entering the "will he or won't he" chat ... going to social media to insinuate the recent rumblings of a potential comeback don't align with what she's been told.

Erica Donald -- who married the Super Bowl champ years ago -- shared a four-word statement on Tuesday ... and while it wasn't much, it was enough for folks to assume she's talking about her hubby's plans.

"I’m learning so much 🤣🤣🤣" Erica said on X.

Stefon Diggs' male sexual assault accuser, Chris Griffith, is firing back at Cardi B after she cast doubt on his allegations against her on-again, off-again boyfriend.

Cardi went off on Chris in a social media barrage Tuesday … claiming he's changed his story about Stefon multiple times. She alleged his initial story did not include any claim of Stefon taking his penis out in front of him … but that ended up as a claim in his lawsuit. 

She said she hated how she was defending Stefon, who she was currently beefing with. Cardi said she was upset because she didn't believe Chris' claims against her baby daddy ... but Chris told her to "take off the blinders."

Shania Twain says she wanted to see the culmination of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's love story in person ... but she'd already committed to T-Swift's ex, Harry Styles.

The country singer says she received an invite to the wedding of the century in an interview with the Canadian TV channel eTalk ... explaining she couldn't make it because she was scheduled to open for Harry at Wembley Stadium the same weekend.

It don't impress Shania much to simply drop out of a pre-planned show ... so she stayed across the pond and performed instead of packing into Madison Square Garden with the A-list crowd for the couple's nuptials.

Paws what you're doing ... Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's mysterious fur baby has officially landed ... and we're getting the first look at their pooch.

The fluffy white dog Swifties have been obsessing over was spotted Sunday at around 5 PM hopping off Taylor's private jet after it touched down at the newly renamed President Donald J. Trump International Airport in Palm Beach, Florida ... giving fans their clearest look yet at the couple's newest family member.

The adorable pup carefully made its way down the aircraft's stairs with a handler while Travis -- sporting a red cap -- was seen on the tarmac grabbing luggage.

Kim Kardashian and Lewis Hamilton's romance just hit another checkpoint ... and now he's riding shotgun with her kids.

Kim dropped a fresh batch of Instagram pics Monday from the Kardashian crew's Fourth of July getaway in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho ... and tucked inside the carousel is a sweet selfie that says a whole lot without saying a word.

One snap shows Kim smiling alongside her boo while daughter Chicago squeezes into the frame ... a wholesome moment that sure looks like the seven-time Formula 1 champ is becoming part of the family. After all, you're not posing for selfies with Kim and Kanye's kids unless things are getting pretty serious.

In another photo, it looks like Lewis rode dirt bikes with Kim and three kids.

Pat McAfee is sharing as much as he can about the Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce wedding without getting in trouble ... saying any criticism of the ceremony is nonsense, because it was a "spectacular" evening!!

The former Indianapolis Colts punter kicked off "The Pat McAfee Show" on Monday by pulling back the curtain, or rather the neutral-colored drapes, on the ultra-secretive celebration.

While Pat insists he's keeping plenty under wraps, he drops some jaw-dropping tidbits and gushes it was the greatest event he's ever attended.

Pat says guests weren't allowed to have phones or take notes, so everything being reported has come down to memory ... but one thing he says he remembers vividly is just how over-the-top the wedding was.

Jay-Z is spitting fiction, not facts, when he claims Colin Kaepernick agreed to be silenced by the NFL ... an allegation Jay dropped live on stage at Yankee Stadium, and one refuted by sources speaking to TMZ Sports.

The moment came during Jay's Friday night opener ... in a freestyle rap aimed at his critics, he said, "They run out of characters, had to bring back up Kap again. Buddy took a check, I ain't even mad at him, but along with that check you have to sign a non-disparagement. I’m the one they can’t control."

The shot at Kaepernick -- 7 years after he and the NFL reached a settlement -- had some fans wondering, "Why now?" But, sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ Sports, the bigger issue is Jay's wrong ... Colin did not sign a non-disparagement agreement when he settled the lawsuit in which he'd claimed NFL teams were colluding to keep him out of the league.

The 2026 World Cup lost one of its biggest sensations.

Erling Haaland, the superstar striker who captivated the soccer world, said his goodbyes to the States early Monday morning after his Norway squad was defeated by England over the weekend in the quarterfinals, ending their World Cup ride.

"Goodbye [U.S. flag emoji] It’s been emotional," the 25-year-old posted on Instagram, alongside a selfie from what appears to be an airplane.

Well, that was fast. Conor McGregor's much anticipated comeback lasted about one minute after a leg injury stopped the fight.

The former UFC featherweight champ went toe-to-toe with Max Holloway after a five-year hiatus at the UFC 329 main event in Las Vegas on Saturday night.

Right from the get-go, Conor was having major issues, jumping into the air to give a roundhouse kick, but he fell to the floor. He popped back up and tried the kick again, but only got the same results.

Conor McGregor ain't the only one buyin' Mick's "women weaken legs" motto ... 'cause boxing star Rolly Romero says he too has sworn off gettin' busy in the bedroom!

"I haven't had sex since June 4, 2025. Over a year. I gave up sex til marriage. My body reserved for my wife, that the Lord Jesus will deliver to me. I gave it up completely til marriage," RR told us at an event in Los Angeles this week.

Of course, McGregor shocked fans this week when he said he not only hasn't knocked boots, but he's sworn off any sexual touching completely in preparation for his fight against Max Holloway.

Cristiano Ronaldo just made IShowSpeed's year -- and maybe his whole life -- 'cause the soccer superstar gifted the popular streamer and diehard CR7 fanatic a pair of his game-worn FIFA World Cup cleats!!

The incredible moment went down on Speed's stream during the Spain vs. Belgium quarterfinal on Friday ... which Ronaldo and Portugal would have played in if they had won this past Monday.

Of course, they were booted in the Round of 16, and Speed was deeply emotional after Ronaldo's final World Cup match of his international career ... but this gesture certainly had to have lifted his spirits.

Tyler Perry and Colin Kaepernick are stepping up to cover two huge expenses for Nolan Wells' family ... the funeral and an independent autopsy.

Attorney Ben Crump, who is representing Nolan's family, says Tyler is paying for the funeral and Colin is paying for the autopsy ... and at a Friday press conference, he thanked the celebs for their contributions.

Crump says the family requested an independent autopsy because they lack confidence in the ongoing investigation in Mississippi.

We spoke with Tyler Perry's team ... who confirmed he's paying for the funeral.
