a thread on diplo, and the many allegations against him (exposing predatory behavior).
just a preface to all this, yes i was a huge fan of diplo’s work, and have seen him live multiple times. this is not some “smear campaign” or “cancel culture”. i was an avid supporter of him, and it’s sad to see how gross his actions are.
1. this is just one of the various tweets from 2012 directly tweeting diplo about his retweeting minors twerking videos / pictures https://twitter.com/SeanPotterKemp/status/229314713236942850
2. diplo started a “express yourself” hashtag in 2012, where primarily young girls would post pics and vids of them twerking, many of those who posted were underage, some even giving a clear indication that they were in HS. thomas did not dare, and still retweeted and replied.
since this is getting attention again, lemme just repeat myself. i didn’t post this to slander him, or to try and defame him bc i have some vendetta against him. i was a HUGE fan of him, and literally camped out at a festival to see him... he’s just gross and needs to be exposed.
i’m going to be continuing this thread tonight as i was a little afraid before to continue. someone has come forward and told me that when they outted him as a predator, multiple people threatened lawsuits against them / to get their accounts taken down.
6. the threats.
this person directly called him a predator, and was told by others who had done the same that ppl on diplos team had sent threats to them.
