DJ Diplo, aka Thomas Wesley Pentz, has taken center stage in a drama spicier than your aunt’s secret chili recipe. On the fine day of Friday, June 28, our beloved 45-year-old DJ was hit with a lawsuit by an unnamed former partner who claimed Diplo shared their private, shall we say, βadult contentβ on social media without her thumbs-up.
This mystery woman, who dated Diplo from 2016 to 2023, said their rendezvous were all consensual. But, plot twist! She claims Diplo was the unofficial director of their very private indie films, and then went all paparazzi on Snapchat.
When the story hit the headlines, Diplo hopped on Instagram faster than a kid on a trampoline, ready to clear the airwaves. With a combo of vacation selfies and concert snapshots, he began his digital defense.
βDonβt believe what you read in the news,β Diplo declared, adding a sprinkle of wanderlust. Picture him sunbathing, cocktail in hand, with a giant inflatable flamingo in the background.
βI donβt own a 100 million dollar mansion, I didnβt pay 450k euros πΆ to rave in Ibiza, and I didnβt send dirty Snapchats in 2017 π€¦ββοΈ,β he added. Sure, Diplo, and I didnβt eat a whole pizza by myself last night. Letβs focus on the positives, like how lucky I am to party with you awesome people and how epic the raves are here in Europeβ¦ (Athens, Croatia, Prague doneβ¦ Paris up next)!β
Whether Diplo’s doing damage control or just giving us major FOMO with his European party tour, one thingβs for sure: the drama is as electric as his DJ sets!
