Diplo breaks silence on revenge porn lawsuit: ‘Don’t believe everything you read on the news’

Last week, Diplo faced controversy after a civil lawsuit was filed accusing him of revenge porn. More recently, the musician has addressed his legal troubles on social media, warning fans not to believe everything they read online.

The famous record producer shared a series of random photos and videos on his official Instagram account. In the caption, he wrote, “Don’t believe what you read in the papers. I don’t own a $100 million mansion.”

He later noted that he never paid 450,000 euros to party in Ibiza and did not send “dirty photos” in 2017.

“Let’s talk about how lucky I am to party with you guys and how good the craziness is in Europe,” he added.

The recent post comes days after Jane Doe, who claims to have been in an intimate relationship with Diplo from 2016 to 2023, accused the DJ of sending sexually explicit photos and videos of her to others.

In court documents obtained by People magazine, the musician, whose real name is Thomas Wesley Pentz, is accused of filming himself having sex with an unknown woman multiple times without her consent.

She also claims that he “disclosed and/or distributed images and videos to third parties via text messages and Snapchat.”

The filing states that the woman and the DJ began chatting on Snapchat in 2016 when she was 21. They then exchanged “sexually explicit images” around that time and decided to meet at his hotel room in New York that June.

Since then, the two remained intimate until October 2023.

Jane Doe told Diplo that she did not want him to record their sexual activities without her consent and did not even want him to distribute the images and/or videos to others.

While she gave him permission to record on a number of occasions, she never “gave him permission to distribute those images and videos to third parties and reiterated that he was not to record them without her explicit consent.”

The woman discovered that Diplo had allegedly distributed the images and videos when a third party contacted her and she discovered that they had “intimate material” of her and her music sex officer.

“There is a criminal complaint on file for unlawful dissemination against a suspect named Thomas Pentz, which is currently being investigated by NYPD detectives,” the deputy commissioner, a spokesperson for Public Information, confirmed to the agency.
