Diplo’s ex-girlfriend Shelly Auguste claims the DJ pursued her when she was only 17 and exposed her to an STD during consensual adult sex.
According to court documents obtained by RadarOnline.com, Shelly made the bombshell accusations as part of a countersuit she filed against the DJ. In the suit, Diplo’s ex, with who he admits to having a brief relationship in 2019, says he contacted her on Twitter when she was underage.
He reportedly sent her explicit photos and asked for nude photos in exchange. Shelly claims they exchanged explicit photos for months before she moved to Los Angeles in 2018.
At the time she was 21. In court documents, Shelly says she heard a rumor about Diplo having Herpes and questioned him about it. He reportedly became upset with the question and stopped talking to her for months.
The eventually reconciled and Shelly decided to let Diplo take her virginity.
She accuses him of filming the encounter without her permission. Flash forward to July 2019, Shelly went to one of Diplo’s shows in Vegas. She claims he tried to get her to have a threesome, but she refused.
Shelly says she contracted chlamydia and believes she got it from Diplo since he was her only sexual partner at the time.
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.
