Diplo’s lawyer, Bryan Freedman, said, “These latest false claims are just part of that ongoing campaign of harassment, and we will not allow them to deter us from pursuing justice against her to the fullest extent possible under the law.”
The lawsuit is seeking unspecified damages for alleged sexual battery, assault, defamation and intentional infliction of emotional distress. As RadarOnline.com previously reported, Diplo first sued his ex earlier this year.
In his suit, the DJ said Shelly had been sending sexually explicit photos of him to his family members and he pleaded for the alleged harassment to stop.
Diplo admits to having a brief consensual sexual relationship with the model in August 2019. However, he says he rejected her, and things took a dark turn.
He accuses his ex-fling of being a “relentless and unstable fan who manipulated herself into" his life years ago. In court documents, Diplo accuses his ex of going on a campaign to ruin him. He claims she create fake social media accounts to send him XXX photos. Last year, he says she started to send the photos to the mother of his children and other relatives. Shelly reported started showing up to Diplo’s home. He was in such fear that he sold off his home and moved to a different pad.
