Diplo has won his case against a ‘obsessive fan’ who he claims was harassing him, threatening to release revenge porn and making contact with his family members, including his baby’s mum.

Shelley Auguste was described as an ‘obsessive and unstable fan’ by Diplo’s legal team, which might not paint the whole picture, because it sounds like they did have some kind of sexual history. In fact at one point they had both taken out restraining orders on each other, which seems an odd way of doing things. In any case, Shelley kept up a campaign of harassment against Diplo, in which she claimed (according to court documents obtained by TMZ):

– Diplo first contacted her on Twitter when she was 17 and asked her for nudes. He sent her his own nudes and horny messages.

– They swapped nudes before meeting for the first time in 2018, when she was 21. Auguste claims she later moved to LA and Diplo really began pressuring her for sex by sending unsolicited nudes of himself in sexual situations.

– Auguste says she heard a rumor Diplo had herpes and questioned him about it in late 2018, and he got angry and cut off all communication. However, she says they made up in 2019, and in April of that year, she claims she gave in to the pressure and lost her virginity to Diplo.

– Auguste alleges Diplo secretly filmed them having sex despite her telling him she didn’t want to.

– In July 2019, Auguste says she went to Diplo’s show in Las Vegas, and claims afterward he tried to coax her into a threesome with a girl she believes was underaged at the time. Auguste says she was drunk and refused, but Diplo forced himself on her as she tried to fight him off.

– Shortly after, Auguste claims she was diagnosed with chlamydia, and believes she got it from Diplo because he was her only sexual partner at the time.

On Diplo’s end, he says that he and Auguste had sex once in 2019 and after he broke contact with her, she wouldn’t stop harassing him and his family with nude photos. Well it looks as though the Los Angeles Superior Court has sided with Diplo on this one and will now be awarding him $1.2 million (£1m) which includes damages, lawyer fees and other costs.

Reacting to the news, Diplo’s lawyer Bryan Freedman said:

‘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. Her 15 minutes of fame are now over.’

Diplo had previously addressed the situation at length in an Instagram post:

‘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.

To be clear, SA was not a minor when I had conversations or sexual intercourse with her. Her own text messages admit this.

I had a night of consensual sex 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, sexual 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.’

Perhaps the whole truth is somewhere in the middle – who knows? It doesn’t take much digging to find that Diplo has all sorts of allegations of this kind against him, but at the same time there are plenty of Instagram babes out there who will try to exploit a sexual relationship with a celebrity. At least she’s up to 13.2k followers now. Go Shelley Go!

For the time Sia texted Diplo asking him for ‘no string sex’, click HERE. Is there anyone this guy hasn’t shagged?
