World-famous DJ and producer Diplo has been sued for distributing revenge porn. This is the second time he has been accused of the same offence in less than a year.
The most recent lawsuit against him was filed in California by an unidentified woman Jane Doe who said that she was in an intimate relationship with Diplo from June 2016 to October 2023. She started chatting with the DJ in April 2016 on the social media platform Snapchat when she was only 21 years old. Diplo’s real name is Thomas Wesley Oentz.
When they started chatting, that same June, he invited the woman to his hotel room in Manhattan and they started dating for some years.
It was in November that she found out that Diplo had been allegedly distributing images and videos of their sexual interactions without her consent to other people. She accused him of not understanding consent as she did not allow him to film or distribute their intimate videos and images. She revealed that in November another woman reached out complaining of the same.
This isn’t the first time that Diplo has been accused of distributing revenge porn. In 2020, a woman named Shelly Auguste claimed that Diplo had sexually assaulted her and distributed revenge porn without her consent. Diplo responded with his own suit and claimed on Instagram that she was a “stalker” who was lying.
In August 2023, Auguste filed another report with the Los Angeles Police Department alleging that he distributed nude photographs of her.
