Stefon Diggs breaks silence on Bills reporter Maddy Glab "insulting" star WR - “The audio shared was very hurtful”
By now, most of the NFL world has heard the comments from Buffalo Bills reporter Maddy Glab about Stefon Diggs.
Glab was heard saying some not-so-nice things about Diggs and how he treats people within the Bills organization. Glab claimed that no one had control over Diggs and that he acted as he pleased, among other things. Naturally, this got traction online and she was quick to issue an apology.
Stefon Diggs has since responded to Glab's comments, defending himself and accusing her of "insulting" his character.
Diggs wrote via his X/Twitter page:
"The audio shared was very hurtful. And was insulting to my character and to how I was raised. I’ve always treated people how I want to be treated. I greet everyone with smiles and respect. From the people in our cafe to the people that keep our building in clean & in order.
"The media or fans may confuse my competitiveness that they witness on the field as who I am as a person. But off the field I'd never treat anyone how she described & have never said anything remotely close to that to her."
Stefon Diggs and Bills look to rebound after Jets loss
The last thing the Bills or Stefon Diggs would have wanted after losing to the New York Jets in overtime on Monday night was something like the audio leak. It just adds another layer of pressure on the franchise ahead of its game against Jimmy Garoppolo's Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday.
The Raiders are fresh off a 17-16 win over the Denver Broncos.
The one positive for the Bills in the loss to the Jets was Diggs and Josh Allen's chemistry. The two connected 10 times for 102 yards and a touchdown.
But should the Raiders roll into town and hand the Bills a second straight defeat, then the noise and outside pressure will amp up again.
They just have to make sure that there are no "hot" mics before or after press conferences.
