Diplo has been awarded a whopping $1.2 million by an LA court from a woman named Shelly Auguste whom he claimed harassed him after a one-night stand encounter.
The Daily Mail got more;
Diplo was awarded more than $1.2 million from a woman he said had harassed him incessantly after the two had a one-night stand.
The DJ-producer, 43, had sued the woman, whose name is Shelly Auguste, in Los Angeles Superior Court, claiming she had threatened to release revenge p*rn and repeatedly made unwanted contact with his child’s mother and other family members.
The Tupelo, Mississippi native, according to court docs reviewed by TMZ, is requesting the court rubber stamp the total, which allots for court costs and other related damages.
Diplo said that after their relationship went astray, Auguste repeatedly sent inappropriate messages and n*des she had of him to him and his relatives.
Diplo said that he sold his house in an effort to escape Auguste’s advances, and both sides applied for restraining orders against the others.
Bryan Freedman, a lawyer for the musical artist, told TMZ, ‘We are all extremely pleased for Wes (Diplo) and his family. What happened here is simple. The arbitrator looked at all the facts. She evaluated the evidence impartially. And justice prevailed.’
Last October, Diplo spoke out against Auguste, claiming she was an ‘obsessed fan’ who harassed him for months on social media platforms.
The famed DJ responded to the fact that he could face charges after Auguste claimed he gave her a sexually transmitted disease and recorded her while they had s*x without her permission, before allegedly sharing the clips with his pals.
Auguste had made the criminal complaint to the Los Angeles Police Department in October 2020. Meanwhile, the musician took to Instagram to address the allegations, claiming the woman in question was ‘an obsessed fan’ of his.
‘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,’ his post began.
‘To be clear, SA was not a minor when I had conversations or s*xual intercourse with her. Her own text messages admit this.’
The performer went on to call the encounter consensual while adding that the woman sent photos and videos to him for a few months after the tryst, while adding that he was forced to block the accuser’s multiple fake social media accounts in which she used to harass him and his family.
‘I had a night of consensual s*x with her. Basically, SA reached out to me and I declined a few times but at one time decided to meet her. After that experience, we had exchanged texts for a few months, there was small talk, s*xual flirting, she would send me pics and videos.’
‘Eventually it got too much to handle and, I stopped contact with her when I realized she had started to become obsessed with me, it began a nightmare of almost three years of her harassing and threatening me my family and my friends.’
Diplo went on to allege his accuser was ‘engaging in criminal activity’ before calling her a possible ‘call girl.’
‘SA would offer her friends and other people to have sexual experiences with, and that’s when I began to get suspicious that she was engaging in criminal activity, and was possibly a call girl. Here are some of the texts over the course of months ..’
