Restraining order filed against Diplo for allegedly distributing revenge porn

A restraining order has been filed against Diplo by a woman who claims that the producer distributed “revenge porn” images of her to “humiliate her and to scare other women out of coming forward".

The Los Angeles woman is being represented by high-profile attorney Lisa Bloom in her case, according to the Daily Beast.

“As with all clients, we put her through an elaborate vetting process, which she cleared,” Bloom said of the case. “I find her to be very credible.”

Last month, the woman made accusations against Diplo on Twitter, with claims that he hired a private investigator after the two had an argument.

“The private investigator stated to me that he knew my address, he knew my parents address, he knew my place of work as well as my parents place to work,” she alleged in a Twitter thread. “Take that as you may but most people will take that as a threat.”

She also alleged he filmed sexual activity without her consent. After she posted the thread, a user posted a naked photo of the woman on Twitter without her permission - which is a criminal offence.

In another tweet Shelly wrote: "I never had the will or intention to expose Diplo being that I did not want all the years I invested into speaking a nd hanging out with him to go in vain….or end nasty."

"But I slowly started to realise he is a huge manipulating liar/gaslighter who PREYS young women of ALL races (to be honest) but primarily young naive women of colour."

“She alleges in her declaration of support of the restraining order that the only person that had that picture other than her was him,” Bloom said. A restraining order hearing is scheduled for December 7th.

Bryan Freedman, an attorney representing Diplo, has denied the allegations. “To be clear, in no way has my client violated any law,” Freedman said.

“In fact, he has repeatedly made it clear that he wants nothing to do with this person.”
