A lawsuit filed Thursday in California accuses Grammy-winning producer Diplo of distributing revenge porn.
Diplo, real name Thomas Wesley Pentz, has produced or collaborated with Gwen Stefani, Britney Spears, Snoop Dogg, Madonna, Shakira, Bad Bunny and Beyoncé, among others.
The suit was filed by a Jane Doe in California and claims that the producer distributed sexual images and videos of her without her consent.
The woman lives in New York and claims she had an ongoing sexual relationship with Diplo between 2016 and 2023.
“During that time, Plaintiff 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,” the suit states.
In November 2023, a third party “told Plaintiff that she was in possession of images and videos of Plaintiff and Defendant Diplo having sex.”
The court documents claim “Defendant Diplo shared the images and/or videos with the third parties via text messaging and Snapchat.”
Jane Doe says in the lawsuit that she submitted a police report to the NYPD about Diplo in November 2023.
Diplo was previously sued for sexual abuse, distributing revenge porn and other misconduct by a Los Angeles woman, Shelly Auguste, in 2021.
Diplo denied her claims in a 2021 Instagram post, and in 2022, he won a $1.2-million arbitration ruling that Auguste’s social media posts violated the terms of a mutual restraining order.
Auguste’s suit against Diplo is set for a civil trial in January.
Diplo has not publicly responded to the latest allegations. Deadline has reached out for comment.
