DJ/producer faces pair of lawsuits following accusations of sexual battery and revenge porn
The Baltimore Orioles announced Friday that a July 24th postgame concert by Diplo has been canceled amid allegations of sexual assault against the DJ/producer.
“The Orioles will not hold the upcoming postgame performance on July 24 at Oriole Park at Camden Yards,” the team tweeted Friday. “Fans who purchased field passes with game tickets to the Diplo concert on July 24 will receive a refund.”
While the Orioles did not specify why the concert was called off, the cancellation came just hours after the Baltimore Sun published a scathing letter to the editors questioning how the team could continue with the postgame performance amid the recent allegations against Diplo, including a pair of sexual assault lawsuits filed against him.
[TW: Sexual Assault]Diplo has been accused of sexual assault after forcing a fan to perform oral sex on him, which she claimed was also filmed. In another separate lawsuit, from a different woman, Diplo is accused of recording a sexual encounter without consent and then later leaking that footage online. The woman also claimed that Diplo - who she alleged did not tell her that he had sexually transmitted infections - gave her chlamydia and HPV as a result of their sexual encounters.
