The Naked Doctor: Embroiled Physician Speaks Before Key Hearing

JONESBORO, Ark. — Almost 10 months after the Arkansas State Medical Board took action against a doctor accused of sexual acts with three women in his Blytheville office, Dr. David Diffine is preparing for a hearing before the board on Friday.

”Currently, my license is suspended for a complaint that was sent to the medical board in July (2024).” Now, Diffine is telling his side of the story for the first time in an exclusive sit-down interview with NEA Report.

The medical board issued an emergency suspension of Diffine’s license in October 2024. That July 2024 complaint contained then five-year-old security videos taken in July 2019 inside Diffine’s office. One of these videos showed Diffine engaged in a sexual act with one of the women while two other women looked on and commented.

The complainant, who contacted the board, accused Diffine of using “his position of power, sexual grooming, and salary increases to groom employees and patients into repulsive sexual acts.” This person also claimed the videos took place during office hours and wrote that they had also sent copies of the complaint and videos to Northeast Arkansas media outlets. One of these outlets, Jonesboro television station KAIT, aired the videos in newscasts and posted clips on its digital platforms.

Diffine adamantly denies everything contained in the complaint, everything except the videos. “The only thing that was true was the video,” Diffine said.

While he acknowledges the medical board is required to investigate all complaints, Diffine said, in this instance, everything is not what it seems. “That video that was contained in the complaint was a product of revenge porn.”

Diffine shared the story of a contentious break-up with ex-fiance, Allegra Milisitz, and exactly how he thinks those videos ever saw the light of day. “The date of the complaints, ironically, when I was trying to figure out where this might have come from, was the same date that an ex-girlfriend of mine had reached out to me about coming back to Jonesboro and getting back with me,” Diffine told NEA Report.

According to Diffine, it took him a bit to put the pieces together, but when he did, the dates lined up. He said he broke up with Milisitz in February 2023, but more than a year later, she contacted him to reconcile.

Diffine said when he refused Milisitz’s advances, things got messy. He said on that day in July 2024, she called him at least thirty times throughout the afternoon as he was seeing patients. When the calls yielded no reaction from Diffine, he said Milisitz resorted to sending a barrage of angry text messages. He provided copies to NEA Report.

The messages were time-stamped beginning around 11:00 AM on July 17, 2024, and continued throughout the day. Diffine said he was honest with Milisitz, showing a text in which he told her, “I want to do this right. I don’t want to unnecessarily hurt anyone. So I just wanted to be upfront.”

That’s when Milisitz seemed to become even angrier, sending several text messages which eventually resulted in her appearing to give Diffine an ultimatum. One text read, “Just know you were the one who put the final nail in the coffin. You’re staying in your fucking grave this time. Lose my fucking number.”

After a few more text messages, Diffine showed one where Milisitz reportedly told him, “You’ve burned me for the last fucking time.” That’s when Diffine responded with two text messages. The first said, “I’ve got a patient in here.” He, then, followed up with this message, “We can discuss this in a little bit.”

From the text messages that followed, Diffine’s response did not squelch his ex’s anger. The text records show that she continued to rant and curse at Diffine, but then insists he respond by sending a message which said, “Fucking answer me!!!”

Diffine said he continued to try to diffuse the situation, but ultimately, that was impossible. Text records further show his ex-fiancée tried to coerce him into calling her several times. “I’ll give you until 4:30 to call me. If not, lose my number.”

Diffine provided NEA Report with a text message he allegedly sent, which said, “I won’t be done by then. I’m swamped today. I’m way behind already.” It seemed this response provided no solace as the intensity of her messages continued to escalate.

As it got closer to the 4:30 P.M. deadline, photos show Diffine received the following texts in succession:

“Just remember, you did this, and you’re responsible for the karma that you’re about to receive.”

“I hope it was worth it.”

“You have 1 minute.”

“Goodbye forever. Enjoy the rest of your life.”

Unbeknownst to Diffine at the time, this exchange happened on the same day the complaint against him was dated: the complaint, which was sent to the Arkansas State Medical Board and the media.

NEA Report reached out to Milisitz regarding these allegations. She agreed to a recorded phone interview, but when it was time for the interview, her husband, John, informed us that he would be doing most of the talking for Allegra.

“I’m very downloaded on the whole situation and I’m going to try to answer most of your questions,” said Milisitz. He continued that Allegra would chime in if needed.

Regarding his wife’s relationship with 54-year-old Diffine, 51-year-old John Milisitz pointed to the age difference when the relationship began. Milisitz said Allegra was 20 years old when the relationship began.

Of the relationship, Milisitz said, “She did not want it because he was a lot older than her.” However, Allegra reported, “I was crazy about him.”

Allegra confirmed she moved into Diffine’s Ridgepointe home in 2021. With that confirmation, the focus of the interview turned to the text messages in question.

NEA Report asked about the specific text messages sent on the day the medical board complaint was filed, and Allegra denied sending them. When pushed further, Allegra admitted she doesn’t remember when they last texted.

The question was, “Is it possible there were text messages between the two of you at that time?” Allegra replied, “I don’t know. I don’t know.” At this point, John reminded us that the couple has been married since 2024.

Diffine received a copy of the complaint from the medical board in October 2024. He and his attorney, Randel Miller, began to craft a response based on the fact that the medical board released this video to the media, but Diffine had not yet appeared before the board for a hearing, nor had the board taken any formal disciplinary action at the time.

According to Diffine, he was in communication with a reporter from a local television station. She requested an interview with him after the board confirmed an investigation into that complaint and provided edited copies of the videos sent to the medical board.

Diffine and Miller asserted that confirmation, along with providing the redacted video to the media, was a clear violation of the Arkansas Freedom of Information Act. They pointed to Arkansas Code Ann. § 17-95-410(b), which states, “All complaints and records of investigations, and all testimony and evidence in proceedings before the board, shall be confidential and shall not be subject to discovery or introduction into evidence in any civil proceeding unless the board takes formal disciplinary action.”

The board did not issue an emergency suspension on Diffine’s license until October 2024.

Still, it took Diffine months to put the pieces together. Who sent that “private” video to the Arkansas State Medical Board and Jonesboro media outlets?

And then, Diffine stumbled across an old text message from that ex. The screenshot showed a still image: a screenshot of Diffine’s clinic’s security camera. The text that arrived along with it contained only three words: “You remember this?”

Diffine received that message in July 2022. Diffine said he remembers an argument with Milisitz that day. He said that must be when she accessed his phone, found that old security camera video, and subsequently made a veiled threat to “ruin his life.”

When Diffine made this discovery, he wasn’t sure what to make of it, but somebody very close to him said she knew exactly what he should do. His daughter, Lillie, advised her dad to take the matter to the police, and so he did.

Diffine filed a report with the Jonesboro Police Department on November 13, 2024. In his statement to police, Diffine accused his 27-year-old fiancée, then Allegra Melton, of sending “17 sexual videos recorded from his private office” to the Arkansas State Medical Board.

The police report continued to say Diffine “advised that the videos were saved on his phone and that no one but his ex-fiancee had access to it.”

When NEA Report inquired whether she had access to Diffine’s phone throughout their relationship and, therefore, the 2019 security camera video from Diffine’s office, she responded, “I don’t know. I don’t know what I had access to.” She also said she doesn’t remember a lot of what happened then because it was a long time ago.

Through all of John’s denials and Allegra’s uncertainty, John made comments that were almost direct quotes of some of those July 2024 text messages. When NEA Report questioned the Milisitzs about that, they chose to end the interview.

The officer who took the report advised Diffine to contact the prosecutor to pursue “further criminal action” against Milisitz. The charge was “unlawful distribution of sexual images or recordings.”

“I’d like for the state, the city, or whoever to prosecute this as revenge porn as they should, and, you know, take action because this was a crime,” said Diffine. However, according to Diffine and Miller, the prosecutor refused to take the case.

Though discouraged by that, Diffine would still like to see something happen. “My goal is to get the video cleared up and get it out if it’s even possible,” he said before acknowledging that it probably will not happen.

Diffine said dealing with the backlash has been rough, but he still has priorities. “I worry more about my family, my kids, as far as how people see me, than I do myself,” Diffine reflected. It seems the feeling is mutual.

The day Diffine sat down with NEA Report, the youngest of his three children reached out in hopes of doing an exclusive interview about her dad. Lillie Diffine spent two hours detailing her relationship with the man everyone else knows as Dr. David Diffine. She described him as her best friend. 

“My dad’s more like, ‘No, everything will sort itself out. He’s not a very aggressive person. Yeah, he really doesn’t like things to escalate or whatever… He just when something happens to him, he takes it. He doesn’t give it back,” Lillie said of her father. She continued to say, “I’m like the daughter that comes in, guns a’ blazing.”

Lillie didn’t paint a picture of a perfect family. She said her family was a typical one and that there were disagreements between her, her siblings, and her dad, and they put him through the wringer, but at the end of the day, “No matter what, he was still there always. No matter what stupid decisions I made or my brother made, he was always there and patient and kind.”

As for Diffine himself, he told NEA Report, he knows some of his history may be contributing to this current issue with the medical board. Diffine is certainly no stranger to controversy. Months before the sex video was leaked, a different complaint was sent to the medical board.

At the heart of a January 2024 complaint were “Naked Dr. Dave’s” social media accounts. The complainant told the medical board that Diffine was posting nude photos of himself taken in various locations. These photos appeared on his Instagram and Twitter accounts.

Diffine said that those accounts served a purpose, “To promote the idea of naturism, I was just out doing normal things that everybody else does, just without clothes on.”

Diffine has been practicing naturism for about six years. He said it’s been a very liberating experience for him. “It’s a spiritual belief that we’re our most true selves when we’re stripped of everything, basically, which includes clothes,” he described.

Though the Arkansas State Medical Board took no action on the January 2024 complaint, Diffine knows many people will not understand his naturist activities. “It’s not a voyeuristic thing. It’s not an exhibitionist thing, and it’s not a sexual thing,” he explained.

While Diffine’s family does not participate in naturist activities, Lillie did share her opinion. “It’s not my thing at all. Like, it’s just not, and that’s okay. But it’s also okay, too, for him to do what he wants to do and be free from judgment.”

And again, Diffine realized he caused some of that judgment with actions he considered innocent fun. He referenced his decorative lawn ornament, “Rocky, the Ridgepointe Rooster.” The lawn ornament, a reference to a male rooster being a synonym for ‘cock’, would often be seen with two large golf balls next to it. The rooster came complete with its own Facebook page. This page took on a life of its own in the summer of 2024.

Looking back, Diffine realized the timing of Rocky’s appearance wasn’t quite right. “In the context of everything going on, it was unfortunate that it got that attention prior to a complaint like this because that just spring-boarded, right? So I kind of wished I’d been more anonymous at that point,” Diffine said.

With Rocky retired to the garage, Diffine is moving forward the best he can. He said, for now, “I’m just trying to lay low and do my thing and not stir anything up.”

Miller has submitted a take-down request to the television station, KAIT, on Diffine’s behalf. The letter references the Take It Down Act, signed into law on May 19, 2025. The request is for “any and all clips, screenshots, memes, or other digital representation, in part or in whole, edited or unedited, be removed and destroyed immediately.”

Diffine shared the response received from Ballard Spahr, the legal group, representing the KAIT. The communication said that KAIT “lawfully obtained records from the board” and referenced journalists’ First Amendment rights. Ultimately, the attorneys decided not to remove the video taken in Diffine’s office.

As his hearing date quickly approaches, Diffine is focused. Speaking of crossing boundaries with the women involved in the video, he said the women were connected to him in what the board would call a “dual relationship.”A dual relationship can be described as when a professional has a second, very different relationship with a person than the work-related one.

Due to that, Diffine said, “I will take accountability for the things that I’ve done that I shouldn’t have done. That was poor choices.”

According to Diffine, he’s had a strong support system throughout this ordeal, and he realizes that’s what’s important. “The people who are around me know who I am, what I am, and what I stand for.”

Diffine’s daughter Lillie said she knows exactly who David Diffine is. “I look up to him a lot. I wanted to work hard because he’s shown me that he’s worked hard. I wanted to push myself because he pushed himself. I’ve learned how to make sacrifices because he made sacrifices for me.”

Diffine’s hearing before the Arkansas State Medical Board is on Friday, August 8, 2025.

NEA Report will have a reporter in Little Rock for the hearing.
