Diplo is taking legal action against a former girlfriend

Diplo alleged the woman - who he says he dated in 2019 - sent explicit photos and videos to him and his family through fake social media accounts, and also send sexually explicit footage in which he featured to them too.

The DJ further accused Auguste of using racist language towards Jevon and sent messages suggesting self harm.

And Diplo even claimed his fears over the woman made him sell his home last month after she kept showing up unannounced.

He is suing for stalking, trespassing and distribution of private materials.

His attorney, Bryan Freedman, said: “As this complaint makes clear, my client and his family have been harassed, stalked and abused by Ms. Auguste for far too long. It’s time for the courts to step in and put an end to her appalling and dangerous behaviour.”

However, Auguste insisted her former lover's filing is purely an act of revenge after she previously sought a restraining order against him.

She also denied sending the racist texts mentioned in the lawsuit and objected to the documents claiming they had a "brief" relationship, as she insisted they had been in contact since as far back as 2014.

Auguste also claimed she has a number of texts from Diplo asking her to get together with him.

She said: "The truth will prevail."

Diplo previously obtained a restraining order against the woman in December, while the order Auguste had obtained after making her own allegations of revenge porn was eventually thrown out.
