Stefon Diggs will continue to receive a ton of support from the New England Patriots because he’s super talented, while his teammate Christian Barmore might not get the same backing … so says a sports executive with years of experience in the business.

We spoke with Andrew Brandt — a Villanova Law School professor who worked for years as an agent and executive with the Green Bay Packers — on “TMZ Live” Wednesday … and we had to ask him about the Pats’ statement of support for Diggs after he was charged with strangulation and assault.

Brandt tells us if you read between the lines of the Patriots statement, you can tell the organization’s pissed they have to deal with this off-the-field attention while they should be celebrating an AFC East Division title.

However, Brandt notes Diggs is a very gifted receiver … so, New England is going to give the star more leeway than, say, Barmore … his teammate who is facing a domestic assault charge.

When the Patriots released a statement about Barmore, they didn’t say they support Christian … which Brandt says could be nothing — though he notes Barmore is injured right now, making it easier for the team to distance itself from the player.

BTW … Diggs might only be facing charges right now because the person accusing him of assault couldn’t come to a settlement agreement with the star athlete, Brandt admits … adding another wrinkle to the upcoming legal proceedings.

As for when the league might hand down a punishment … Brandt gives his reasons for why it could be a long time coming. Listen to the clip all the way through to learn why.

A body found in a field in Texas Tuesday evening has been identified as missing 19-year-old Camila Mendoza Olmos, who disappeared on Christmas Eve … and local law enforcement says she took her own life.

The Bexar County Sheriff’s Office announced Wednesday the body was confirmed as Camila, and the medical examiner ruled her death a suicide … a gunshot wound to the head.

As we reported, Bexar County and FBI investigators found the corpse around 4:40 to 4:45 PM local time Tuesday amid a frantic weeklong search for Camila in the San Antonio area.

Camila was last seen leaving her home around 7 AM on Christmas Eve and local authorities released dashcam footage from the day of her disappearance that shows a person — who they previously said was her — walking along the side of the Wildhorse Parkway, about 2 blocks from her house.

Notably, Camila was 1 of 3 teens recently reported as missing in the area. A 14-year-old has since been found safe, while a 17-year-old is still MIA. Officials have not connected the cases.

Romy Reiner‘s had a traumatic couple weeks … and she’s looking to the ocean to help her heal.

Rob and Michele Reiner‘s daughter was spotted Tuesday on a somber stroll along the coast in Malibu … walking silently with her dog and her boyfriend, Alex Siliberg.

Romy and her brother, Jake Reiner, have reportedly been staying in Malibu since their famous parents were found murdered in their Brentwood home earlier this month … and Jake hung back at the beach house while Romy hit the sand.

As you know … Romy is the one who found her parents’ dead bodies in rigor mortis after being killed by “multiple sharp force injuries” … and she told police her other brother, Nick Reiner, was “dangerous” and should be considered a suspect.
