The Los Angeles city attorney’s office is considering bringing criminal charges against Diplo for invasion of privacy and intentionally spreading an STI. Diplo says the accuser is a delusional fan attempting to scam him for rejecting her.
. According to the suit, the DJ — whose legal name is Thomas Wesley Pentz — has been distributing images of their sexual encounters since 2018. It’s not the first time Diplo has faced allegations of sexual misconduct. Back in 2021, Buzzfeed Newsthat the Los Angeles city attorney’s office was considering bringing criminal charges against the him for invasion of privacy and intentionally spreading an STI.
In October 2020, the woman filed a report with the LAPD saying that Diplo recorded sexually explicit videos of her without her permission and, years later, distributed at least one of them without her consent. She also accused the DJ of knowingly infecting her with chlamydia. The report alleges that Diplo raped the woman in his Las Vegas hotel room after a concert, which no criminal charges have yet been filed for.
Both restraining orders were dismissed in January of 2021, when neither party’s lawyers showed up at a hearing. Then, in April, Diplo filed a lawsuit for monetary damages, outlining his claims that the woman was a crazed fan. The lawsuit was pretty much in line with the substance of his Instagram post, accusing her of stalking, trespassing, and distributing private materials.
In her suit, Doe claims that a woman she didn’t know reached out to her in November saying that she had videos and photos of Doe and Diplo having sex. The woman told Doe that she had received the materials from Diplo via Snapchat in 2018. Doe’s suit claims that this was not a one-off incident and that Diplo continued to share the videos and photos for years.
Doe states that she reported Diplo to the New York Police Department on November 7, at which point a warrant was issued for his arrest. Diplo has not yet commented on the latest allegations. In a statement, Jane Doe’s lawyer, Helene Weiss, said, “Diplo’s alleged illicit pattern of behavior illustrates the harm he’s caused Jane Doe, and other young women just like her.
