Diplo responds to revenge porn lawsuit I didnt send dirty Snapchats

“Don’t believe what you read in the news,” wrote the DJ Diplo has responded to the allegations made against him in a revenge porn lawsuit, stating “I didn’t send dirty Snapchats”. The DJ was sued by his accuser last week (June 27) in which his victim claimed he sent sexually explicit videos and photos of her to another woman.Gay porno Now, Diplo has taken to his official Instagram account to address the allegations made against him. He shared a carousel post on the social media platform featuring photos and videos of him performing and having fun with a caption that read: “Don’t believe what you read in the news. “I don’t own a 100 million dollar mansion, I didn’t pay 450k euros to rave in Ibiza and I didn’t send dirty snapchats in 2017.. let’s talk about how lucky I am to party with you guys and how good the raves are here in Europe .. (Athens Croatia Prague done .. París up next)” A post shared by diplo (@diplo)   According to court papers seen by Rolling Stone, the woman filed the lawsuit in California District Court under the name Jane Doe. She went on to allege she was 21 when she met Diplo (real name Thomas Wesley Pentz), who invited her to his Manhattan hotel room in June 2016 after beginning their relationship by sending sexual images two months earlier. Doe claimed that during their casual seven-year relationship, the DJ would occasionally and consensually record their sexual encounters. However, the woman also claimed she made it clear that all photos and footage were to remain private. In November 2023, the lawsuit claimed that Doe received a message from a third party saying they were in possession of sexual videos and images of Doe, which they alleged had been sent via Snapchat in October 2018. “Upon information and belief,” the lawsuit added, “defendant Diplo has continued to disclose and/or distribute [Doe’s] intimate images and/or videos from 2018 through present.” NME has reached out to Diplo’s representatives for comment. This is not the first time Diplo has been accused of distributing revenge porn. In 2020, an accuser claimed the DJ had groomed her and circulated footage of their sexual encounters without her consent. She was subsequently granted a restraining order against him after an explicit photo of her made its way onto Twitter, and he was ordered to delete any remaining photos of her. Diplo requested his own restraining order against his accuser claiming she tried to “stalk and harass” him. Diplo strongly denied the accusations in 2021 and later won $1.2million against the accuser in fees, damages, costs and expenses. A separate lawsuit was also filed by another woman in July 2021 accusing Diplo of sexual assault, which was then eventually dropped. Diplo denied all allegations.
