Diplo has won a court case against a woman who he claims was harassing and extorting him.
The DJ and producer called for an arbitration hearing against the woman, accusing her of violating a dual restraining order agreement that the pair allegedly signed back in January 2021.
In the new ruling, an arbitrator came down on the side of Diplo and recommended that the Los Angeles Superior Court award him more than $1.2million in fees, damages, costs and expenses.
In 2020, the female accuser claimed that Diplo had distributed revenge porn. She was subsequently granted a protective order, which banned Diplo from posting any images of the woman online after an explicit photo of her emerged on Twitter. He was also ordered to delete any photos he had shared previously.
He strongly denied the allegations and later sought his own restraining order against the woman, with his lawyer maintaining his innocence and insisting that it was her who had been “harassing” the artist in the first place and attempting to “extort” him.
