In a video that went viral on X, formerly Twitter, Glab was picked up on a hot mic and suggested that the NFL star receiver “does what he wants to do.”
She can be heard saying: “There’s no control over Stefon Diggs.
“Dudes gonna do what he wants to do. “He’ll look in my face and say F you. “[It’s] how he treats everybody.”
The footage quickly went viral as Glab has since apologized to Diggs for the comments, claiming he is one of her “favorite players to cover.”
She wrote: “I want to take ownership for what I said today.
“I am very sorry for what I said and meant no ill will, I respect the hell out of Stefon Diggs, and he has been one of my favorite players to cover.”
Diggs would respond to Glab, calling her remarks “hurtful” and “insulting to my character and to how I was raised.”
He also told his fans that he’s “always treated people how I want to be treated” and added that he’d “never treat anyone how she described.”
“[I] have never said anything remotely close to that to her,” he said.
Glab graduated from the University of Missouri in 2014.
