A woman is suing Diplo after an encounter in which she was allegedly forced to give him a blowjob and was filmed without his consent in 2019.

Diplo was accused of sexual assault by a woman who claims he forced her to have sex and filmed her without her consent in 2019. First reported by TMZ who obtained the trial documents, the victim said the incident happened after a year. of his shows at Wynn Las Vegas. At the afterparty, Diplo allegedly gave the woman and the other attendees weed and alcohol, before inviting the woman to her personal room and escorting others present. She would have been unable to leave until she had performed oral sex on him, claiming that she had agreed to do so as there was no other way out.

The lawsuit centers on damages and the woman says she feared for her safety and could not give consent throughout the alleged situation. Diplo has denied all of the allegations that have surfaced in this lawsuit, with his lawyer Bryan Freedman stating: This complaint is utterly outrageous, utterly false and yet utterly predictable, given that it simply repeats the exact same claim already made by the friend of the plaintiffs Shelly. Auguste, a person who has been harassing Mr. Pentz and his family for over a year and who has already repeatedly violated the restraining order issued against her.

Freedman also claimed there was a connection between this new accuser and Shelly Auguste, against whom Diplo had previously filed a restraining order and sued for harassment and harassment. Last month, after claiming in documents that she was first contacted by Diplo when she was 17 and that he requested nude photos before finally forcing her to have sex and save them, Auguste filed a complaint against the producer. She is suing him for sexual violence, assault, libel, emotional distress and fraud.

Freedman went on to say that they had irrefutable evidence that this was a totally baseless claim and that we would provide it to a court as quickly as possible to put an end once and for all to this agitation by Ms Auguste. and his accomplices. .

Once the recent allegations surfaced, the Baltimore Orioles announced that the Diplos post-game concert, which was scheduled to take place on July 24 as part of their Birdland Summer Music Series, will be canceled. The news came just hours after the Baltimore Suns editors issued a letter asking how the team could claim to be family-friendly but host a DJ who is currently facing allegations of sexual assault. All ticket holders will be reimbursed.
