the day of cancellation for Diplo may finally be upon us soon as these new accusations have just come out...

he's been involved in a few similar controversies in recent years so it's likely he's at the very least been a bit of a pest but he's yet to be convicted of anything yet to my knowledge

QUOTE
Diplo has been accused of distributing nude photographs of a woman without her permission, it has emerged.

As reported by Pitchfork, the DJ was named in a police report filed with the Los Angeles Police Department in August, and in November that case was submitted to the Los Angeles city attorney’s office, where it is currently under review.

The woman, Shelly Auguste, has been in a legal battle with the producer – real name Thomas Wesley Pentz – since 2020. She had previously accused him of distributing revenge porn, but Pentz was not charged criminally on that occasion.

Diplo denied the original allegations in 2021.

In the new case, Auguste is suing Pentz for sexual battery, gender violence, intentional intrusion into private affairs, battery, assault, defamation, intentional infliction of emotional distress and fraud. In addition, he is being accused of acting in violation of the Ralph Civil Rights Act and the Tom Bane Civil Rights Act. A civil trial is scheduled for April 2024.

Diplo is also suing Auguste for stalking, trespassing and distributing private materials in a suit filed in April 2021. That claim alleged that Auguste is “dangerously unstable” and states that “she made relentless efforts to communicate with him” after he ended their relationship.

In response to the new allegations, Diplo’s attorney, Bryan J. Freedman, said: “For more than three years, Shelly Auguste has been orchestrating an ongoing smear campaign against Wes—and this is just more of the same.”

“Now, Ms. Auguste is at it yet again. But Wes will defend himself, and, just as he has done every time Ms. Auguste has defamed, harassed and attacked him and his family, he will win.”

According to Auguste’s account, the two met online in 2014 and their correspondence depended on her sending him nude photos. She alleges that he filmed them having sex in April 2019 without her consent and ejaculated inside her without consent.

There is another encounter described in Auguste’s suit from July 2019 when Diplo is said to have penetrated her without consent while she “tried to fight him off”, before running out of the hotel room in tears.

In November 2020, Auguste was granted a temporary restraining order against Diplo, and he has now secured one against her.

Shortly after Auguste received the order, Freedman said she “has been harassing [Diplo]and his family for more than a year and has repeatedly refused to stop doing so.”

In January 2021, the two signed a dual restraining order agreement. In September 2022, Auguste was found to have breached the agreement with social media posts and Diplo was consequently awarded a $1.2 million payment.

Auguste filed her new claim on August 18 this year, stating she was “the victim of revenge porn”. The report notes that Auguste told a police officer that she “sent […] nude videos and photographs to [Diplo] voluntarily. Those items were for him only and not to distribute to others.” She added that he “distributed some of the nude videos and photographs of her online.”

The report continues that Auguste “believes that [Diplo] is distributing the nude photographs because he is mad at her for recently filing legal action against him. She stated that he wants to harass and embarrass her.”

The allegations didn't seem to stick / result in any real consequences the last time (ngl I kind of forgot about it myself, I very rarely see it being brought up...) so I'm not sure they will this time either especially if it's coming from the same accuser.

Former Indonesian mainstage DJ Angger Dimas, known for his Phat Brahms remake with Steve Aoki, announced the death of his 6-year old son Dante caused by drowning. Dimas is now looking for justice due to the innatural cause of death as the local police are restricting the CCTV near the crime scene.

This is pretty the same case as Italian hardstyle DJ Daniele Mondello, who are still looking for the truth of his wife (DJ Express Viviana) and his son's death in 2020, except Viviana was convicted of her son's murderer, then commited suicide.

Swedish hardstyle producer/DJ Pontuz Bergman a.k.a. Wasted Penguinz shocked the fans by bringing his former duo partner Jon Brandt-Cederhäll to one of the hardstyle artist's show in the Netherlands. FYI, Jon left the duo in 2020 due to his tiredness in touring and producing music.

Apparently, a thunderstorm appears in Miami, so the show ends after SLANDER's set, meaning that Hardwell, Amelie Lens, and Under Construction (FISHER x Chris Lake) sets are canceled today. No informations yet regarding their re-schedules.
