Diplo was accused of sexual assault by an unnamed woman earlier this month, and according to documentation acquired by Rolling Stone, the charges against him have been withdrawn.
Through her attorney, the accuser said in a statement: “In light of the evidence and after consultation with my attorneys, I have decided to withdraw my lawsuit. No payment was offered or requested. I regret filing the lawsuit.”
“As we said when we first learned of this lawsuit, there was absolutely irrefutable evidence that proved that the allegations it contained were false,” Diplo’s lawyer, Bryan Freedman, told Rolling Stone after the withdrawal.
On July 8th, a lady accused the renowned DJ of sexual assault, alleging that he forced her to perform oral sex while filming the encounter without her consent. The accuser claimed the assault occurred at an after-party following a Major Lazer gig at the Wynn in 2019, according to documents obtained by TMZ.
In a statement, Freedman said: “As soon as we shared that plethora of evidence with the plaintiff’s lawyers, they recognized that they needed to withdraw their suit immediately.
“This demonstrably false claim…has caused great harm. While that damage can never fully be undone, we are glad to see this lawsuit be dismissed with prejudice.”
The win comes after Diplo was previously sued by ex-girlfriend Shelly Auguste for allegedly recording a sexual encounter of theirs, including claims of sexual battery, assault, defamation, infliction of emotional distress, and fraud.
In her lawsuit, Shelly claimed that Diplo “recorded video of their sexual encounter despite her telling him she didn’t want that” and sought to “coax her into a threesome with a girl she believes was underaged at the time.” Diplo allegedly “forced himself on her as she tried to fight him off,” after she refused the threesome. The case is currently still ongoing. Stay tuned for more updates as it develops.
