The Top Story

A Los Angeles woman has filed a restraining order against Diplo, or Thomas Wesley Pentz, county court records show. Attorney Lisa Bloom, who represents the plaintiff, said she sought โ€œto block Diplo from distributing revenge pornโ€ allegedly โ€œdesigned to humiliate her and to scare other women out of coming forward.โ€

โ€œI am representing [redacted] regarding her claims against Diplo,โ€ Bloom said. (The Daily Beast is withholding the womanโ€™s name to protect her privacy). โ€œIโ€™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.โ€

Last month, the woman tweeted a thread accusing the EDM artist of grooming her, and hiring a private investigator to contact her following an argument between them. She called the gesture an attempt to โ€œscareโ€ her out of discussing โ€œthe disgusting detailsโ€ she knew about him.
