Stefon Diggs Prosecutor Former Chef Was No 'Perfect Witness' ... But Hear Her Out!!!
The prosecutor in the Stefon Diggs trial acknowledged Jamila Adams was "argumentative, avoidant and difficult" throughout her testimony the past two days ... but he's hoping the jury looks past that in reaching a verdict.
The blunt approach came from Norfolk Assistant District Attorney Drew Virtue's closing argument in a Dedham courtroom on Tuesday ... when he admitted his key witness was all over the place on the stand.
"Was Ms. Adams a perfect witness? No," Virtue said.
Stefon Diggs' Accountant We Actually Overpaid Chef!!!
Stefon Diggs' former chef claimed the NFL star attacked after she confronted him over missed payments ... but his finance team says the books show she actually got MORE than she was supposed to during her time on his staff.
Diggs' money manager -- PMG Private CFO employee Melissa Goddard -- took the stand on Tuesday ... and stated she did an audit of his payments to Jamila Adams in late 2025 after a "flag" was raised.
On Dec. 1, Goddard stated she received an invoice from Adams for three weeks of services for November and reimbursable expenses ... but knew it was incorrect because two of those weeks of pay had already been fulfilled -- so she launched the deep dive into Diggs' finances.

Cardi B Battling Tasha K in Court Again For Talking Offset’s Alleged Gambling
Cardi B says she's had it with Tasha K running her mouth about her ex-husband, Offset, despite an order prohibiting the blogger from doing so ... TMZ has learned.
In new court docs, obtained by TMZ, Cardi points out Tasha agreed to honor a non-disparagement clause as part of her bankruptcy plan, which bars her from talking publicly about the "Bodak Yellow" rapper or her associates, including Offset and Stefon Diggs.
As we previously reported, Cardi, who is represented by attorney Lisa Moore, was awarded $4 million from Tasha in a defamation battle, and Tasha filed for bankruptcy months later. The two worked out a deal where the debt was reduced to $1.2 million, as long as Tasha made monthly payments. The deal included the non-disparagement clause which prohibits Tasha from talking about Cardi. Cardi's lawyer Lisa tells TMZ she is going after the full $3.9 million owed from Tasha.
