The Lady Never Gave Permission To Diplo to Record Her And Distribute The Videos
According to Jane Doe, she never permitted Diplo to record her during the their sexual relationship. She claims to have made it clear that she “did not want Defendant Diplo recording them engaging in sexual activities without her explicit consent nor did she want him to distribute images and/or videos to third parties and never gave him consent to do so.”
However, on a few occasions, she gave him permission to record her but not distribute it to other people. The report added, “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.”
On November 2023, the lady was contacted by a third party person claiming that they had intimate videos of her having sex with the artist. Doe claimed that the person received the videos of “genitals, buttocks, and face”, on October 2018.
Micha Liberty, an attorney for Doe from Liberty Law, said in a statement that, “Diplo’s actions represent a severe abuse of power and a blatant disregard for human dignity.” Furthermore, the NYPD has acknowledged an active investigation against him.
