Diplo Denies Revenge Porn Claims From Alleged Ex-Girlfriend: She Was An Obsessed Fan

Famous DJ Diplo has responded to reports that he could possibly face charges in revenge porn accusations. As previously reported, in 2020 Diplo’s alleged ex, Shelly Auguste, filed claims with the Los Angeles Police Department that the music producer allegedly recorded her while they had sex without her permission, shared the explicit clips with his friends, and gave her chlamydia. However, Diplo, 42, is claiming those accusations are not true. On Wednesday (Oct. 6) Diplo, born Thomas Pentz, took to his Instagram and called his accuser ‘an obsessed fan’ as he shared his side of things. The ‘Where Are U Now’ producer posted a series of text, screenshots, and video recordings. He captioned the upload,

“Here’s a story about how a stalker scammed her way into my life and tried to extort me for millions and then sued me when she didn’t get what she wanted.”

On the first lengthy text image, Diplo wrote in part,

“I will keep this story easy to read because I know the internet has a short attention span, and it was my goal to never address a stalker. I will refer to her as ‘SA’ (and you can find anything easily online) she was an obsessed fan of mine, and after I relinquished all contact with her, it appears that her only purpose in life has been to disrupt my work, my business, harass me and my close friends and attack me and threaten my family. To be clear, SA was not a minor when I had conversations or sexual intercourse with her. Her own text messages admit this.”

He then shared a video recording of what appears to be Shelly Auguste repeatedly contacting him with no response.

Diplo continued with his story and claimed that even after he blocked his accuser she continued to find ways to contact him.

He added:

According to Diplo, once news broke that he was expecting his 3rd child Shelly Auguste took her obsession with him to the next level and also sent racist messages to his baby’s mother.

He added,

“Culture is quick to follow unsubstantiated claims. I’m a public figure and this comes with the territory and I understand that. I want to add also these previous claims have been dropped or abandoned and those facts go unreported. This is so frustrating and embarrassing. I am not this person and I won’t be extorted by anyone no matter how stinging the press can be.”

“Even over the past 2 years I’ve never been bothered by these rumors if anything it has made me stronger and smarter, all of my friends and partners have never questioned me and that was what has been important to me. The people in my life know me for who I really am. I will continue to do everything I can to end this in the most respectful way but I will not give in to lies and harassment.”
