Diplo denies revenge porn allegations amid lawsuitDiplo has shared a statement online after a lawsuit was filed accusing the artist of distributing revenge porn.
The DJ was sued by his accuser last month (27 June). A woman named as “Jane Doe” claims he sent sexually explicit videos and photos of her to another woman. Diplo has denied these allegations in a post shared to Instagram.
Written in the caption below a range of images of Diplo partying across Europe, he writes, “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… Paris up next).”

Court documents have been obtained by Rolling Stone, which reports that “Doe” filed the lawsuit in California District Court, and alleges she was 21 when she met Diplo, whose real name is Thomas Wesley Pentz. She claims he invited her to his Manhattan hotel room in June 2016 after beginning their relationship by sending sexual images two months prior.
Doe allegedly had a casual seven-year relationship with the DJ and producer, who she claims would occasionally and consensually record their sexual encounters. She says she made it clear that these recordings should remain private.
The lawsuit claims that in 2023, Doe received a message from a woman saying she was in possession of sexual videos and images of Doe, allegedly sent via Snapchat in October 2018. The document states, “Upon information and belief, defendant Diplo has continued to disclose and/or distribute [Doe’s] intimate images and/or videos from 2018 through present.”
MusicTech has contacted a representative of Diplo for comment. His attorney, Bryan Freedman, described the woman’s lawsuit as an “obvious shakedown” attempt in a statement provided to Rolling Stone.
