Paul Oakenfold Decries “Baseless” Sexual Harassment Suit As Extortion; A-List DJ Pledges To Fight Back In Court

deadline.com:

Three days after being hit with a scathing sexual harassment lawsuit by his former personal assistant, A-list DJ Paul Oakenfold has put his own spin on the situation.

Taking to social media this morning, the Grammy nominee denied all the claims of misconduct and repeated acts of public masturbation again him, plus the executive who runs two of Oakenfold’s companies and several John Does.

In a post on Instagram and Twitter, the musician said: “Respect, integrity, and consent are values I hold dear, and I have always treated everyone with the utmost professionalism.” “It is disheartening to see these baseless accusations, which appear to be nothing more than a calculated attempt to tarnish my reputation and extort money,” Oakenfold went on to say of the unnamed Jane Roe who worked for him in 2022.

Unsurprisingly, as you can see below, the DJ vowed to work with “any investigations to clear my name and will exhaust all legal remedies available, including the option to countersue, to protect my reputation and seek justice.” A post shared by Paul Oakenfold (@pauloakenfold) In the 27-page complaint filed on June 2 in LA Superior Court, Oakenfold’s ex-personal assistant details alleged sordid behavior by Oakenfold starting from Day 1 of her employment in October 2022.
