Diplo accused of revenge porn in new lawsuit filed by woman he allegedly dated for seven years

DJ Diplo has been accused of distributing revenge porn in a lawsuit filed in California Thursday. A Jane Doe sued the Grammy-winning producer, whose real name is Thomas Wesley Pentz, for recording and distributing sexual images and videos of her without her consent to third parties, according to court docs obtained by Page Six.Gay porno The woman, who is based in New York, claims to have been involved in a physical relationship with Diplo beginning in June 2016 after they originally began messaging each other sexually-explicit content on Snapchat in April of that year. She alleged their relationship ended in 2023. According to the court filing, Doe allowed Diplo to record them engaging in sex at times, but “made it known that she did not want Defendant Diplo recording them engaging in sexual activities without her explicit consent, nor did she want him to distribute images and/or videos to third parties and never gave him consent to do so.” In November 2023, however, the woman claimed she was contacted by a third party who said she received material that showed her and the musician having sex. Doe was allegedly told the person received the pornographic content, which showed her “genitals, buttocks, and face,” on Oct. 14, 2018. The material was allegedly sent over Snapchat. After their discussion, the unnamed individual who contacted Doe reportedly filed a police report. Doe claimed that “the NYPD issued a warrant for Defendant Diplo’s arrest for dissemination of intimate images and/or videos depicting” her. Doe is seeking up to $150,000 in damages. Reps for Diplo did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment. However, his lawyer, Bryan Freedman, dismissed the suit in a statement to Page Six. “In every case where there has been an allegation of improper conduct made against Wes, the result has been either an immediate dismissal of a bogus lawsuit coupled with an apology, a court-ordered award for Wes in excess of $1.2 million, or the slow demise of an obvious shakedown attempt that has gone absolutely nowhere,” the successful Hollywood lawyer argued. “Time and again, Wes has been targeted by a group of untrustworthy individuals and their unscrupulous lawyers, cobbling together falsehoods in search of a meritless payday.” “This suit seems to be just more of the same, which is why we have no reason to believe that this will end any differently than all the others.” On the contrary, Doe’s attorney Micha Liberty of Liberty Law told Page Six, “Diplo’s actions represent a severe abuse of power and a blatant disregard for human dignity. It is imperative that we, as a society, condemn such actions and hold perpetrators accountable.” “Our brave client’s story is one of Diplo’s many worst-kept secrets, and the filing this case is her first step at forging a path to civil justice,” another attorney for Doe, Margaret E. Mabie of Marsh Law added. This is not the first time Diplo has been accused of recording and distributing sexually explicit videos without the other party’s knowledge or permission. Another unnamed woman accused the “Elastic Heart” hitmaker of doing so — and knowingly infecting her with chlamydia — in 2021. He denied the accusations and claimed the lawsuit was brought on by a fan-turned-stalker. He also claimed any sexual encounters they had were “consensual.” Before that, he was accused of sexually assaulting Marchel Auguste in 2020 as well as recording their sexual encounters without her consent. She was successful in getting a temporary restraining order against him. She is still currently pursuing legal action against him for sexual battery, gender violence, battery, assault, defamation, intentional infliction of emotional distress and more, according to Pitchfork. Also in 2020, rapper Azealia Banks claimed Diplo groomed her and had sex with her while she was 17 and he was in his 30s. “He’s always been preying on young ethnic girls,” she slammed.
