It is imperative that we, as a society, condemn such actions and hold perpetrators accountable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nDiplo was previously accused of recording and distributing sexually explicit videos without the other party\u2019s knowledge or permission. <\/p>\n<p>\nAnother unnamed woman accused the DJ of doing so, and knowingly infecting her with chlamydia, in 2021. <\/p>\n<p>\nHe denied the accusations and claimed the lawsuit was brought on by a fan-turned-stalker.<\/p>\n<p>\nDiplo also claimed any sexual encounters they had were \u201cconsensual.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nBefore that, he was accused of sexually assaulting Marchel Auguste in 2020 as well as recording their sexual encounters without her consent and she was successful in getting a temporary restraining order against him.<\/p>\n<p>\nShe is still currently pursuing legal action against him for sexual battery, gender violence, battery, assault, defamation, intentional infliction of emotional distress and more. <\/p>\n<p>\nIn 2020, rapper Azealia Banks, 33, claimed Diplo groomed her and had sex with her while she was 17 and he was in his 30s.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/diplo-accused-distributing-revenge-porn-1402198.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1 July 2024 DJ Diplo has been accused of distributing revenge porn.
