While undergoing cross-examination about her allegations, the judge noted that Adams provided a series of non-responsive answers.
She cautioned the former chef that she must adhere to the established question-and-answer format and avoid interjecting her own narrative.
Judge Carroll stated that if Adams continued to evade relevant questions, her entire testimony could be dismissed from the record.
This warning came after Adams was evasive regarding a reported $5.5 million settlement demand, which she initially attempted to avoid by incorrectly citing attorney-client privilege.
Despite the contentious nature of the testimony, the trial reached a conclusive outcome shortly thereafter.

NFL insider Ari Meirov confirmed via X that Stefon Diggs was found not guilty of assault, battery, and strangulation.
The verdict exonerated the free-agent receiver from the serious criminal allegations made by his former employee.
The case had previously explored the complex personal history between the two parties.
On May 4, Adams testified that her relationship with Diggs began as a friendship years ago before evolving into a sexual one.
She started working as his personal chef in February 2025, earning a $2,000 weekly salary to support his NFL comeback.
However, the domestic environment became strained due to alleged gossip concerning another staff member named Lindsay.

Adams claimed the situation escalated into a physical altercation in December 2025 during a dispute over her salary.
While she alleged that she was slapped and choked in his home, the jury’s final decision cleared the former New England Patriots player of all criminal wrongdoing regarding the matter.
