Diplo under fire after woman claims the DJ attempted to ‘distribute revenge porn’ and ‘humiliate’ her
A WOMAN has filed a restraining order against Diplo, after claiming the DJ attempted to "distribute revenge porn" and "humiliate" her.
The woman's lawyer talked to the Daily Beast on Monday after her client – whose identity is being protected by the outlet – previously Tweeted about how the music artist had allegedly groomed her then hired a private investigator after the pair argued.
His lawyer, Bryan Freedman, further said in a statement: "Unfortunately, this individual has been harassing my client and his family for more than a year and has repeatedly refused to stop doing so.
"To be clear, in no way has my client violated any law. In fact, he has repeatedly made it clear that he wants nothing whatsoever to do with this person – and simply needs her ongoing harassment of his family to end."
Bloom has plenty of expertise dealing with cases of sexual nature, as she was an advisor to Harvey Weinstein when he was on trial for sexual abuse allegations. She quit her role two days later.
She told the Daily Beast about her new client: "I’m very proud to represent her.
"As with all clients, we put her through an elaborate vetting process which she cleared.
"I find her to be very credible and to have corroborating evidence in support of her claims."
Bloom further claimed that they have even talked to more women – three specifically – who know of Diplo's alleged behavior first-hand.
She told the Daily Beast: "Witnesses are important in every case. We are happy to speak for free and confidentially to any girls or women who also may have something against Diplo.
