Young Woman Accuses Diplo of ‘Revenge Porn’, Files Restraining Order Against Him

The internationally celebrated EDM icon DJ Diplo has been served with a restraining order by a woman who alleges the celebrity has documented intimate encounters between them and is now threatening to distribute the content. Referring to Diplo as a “gas-lighter who preys (on) young women”, the complainant’s lawyer Lisa Bloom relays her client’s accusations against Diplo citing harassment, recording sexual activity without her consent, and continuous intimidation tactics that have significantly impacted her life.

Nude photos, falsified social media profiles, and systematic “grooming” of young women are included as some of the evidentiary support Bloom claims to have gathered in support of her client’s claims. The recent cohabitation between 41-year-old Diplo and his 19-year-old live-in “tenant” Quenlin Blackwell has certainly raised eyebrows, however, Blackwell insists she is in no way being groomed and DJ Diplo is simply her landlord and “L.A dad”. Diplo confirms Blackwell’s story while acknowledging the confusion stemming from Blackwell’s social media posts regarding their relationship; “I can see you can get a twisted idea, but there is nothing but friendship between us.”

Bloom and her client claim there are at least three other women who have come forward to divulge their own similar experiences and bolster the case against Diplo. Bloom describes these women as “brave and credible”, and urges other women who may have information to come forward. Diplo not only denies his involvement in these allegations but reverses the narrative to blame the woman accusing him of these actions. In a statement released by Diplo’s lawyer Brian Freedman, Diplo identifies the woman as the harasser and as a person he wants “nothing to do with whatsoever”.
