Buffalo Bills reporter Maddy Glab has issued an apology to wide receiver Stefon Diggs, after receiving criticism for an audio leak after the team’s Week 1 loss to the Detroit Lions.
Glab was caught on a hot mic ripping the wide receiver while reporters waited for him to arrive at the post-game press conference.
“There’s no control over Stefon Diggs,” Glab says. “Dude’s going to do what he wants to do. He’ll look in my face and say F you. That’s how he treats everybody.”

After she was called out for her comments, Glab took to social media to issue a ntes app apology to Diggs.
“I want to take ownership for what I said today,” Glab wrote. “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] has great character and treats us media with lots of respect… Stef marches to the beat of his own drum and I love that about him. He has a playful relationship with our video department, so that’s why I said he probably wouldn’t say yes to me grabbing him for an interview.
“I should not have said what I said, and I apologize for that. Stef is not in the wrong, I am.”
