World-famous DJ Paul Oakenfold addressed sexual harassment allegations by his former personal assistant on social media Monday, denying he masturbated in front of her.
The woman claims Paul masturbated in front of her while she was on the job, and claims he also masturbated in her car, according to TMZ. She also alleges he once pleasured himself in front of her 4 times in one day. Oakenfold pushed back against the allegations. “Let me be absolutely clear: I categorically deny any and all claims of improper conduct,” he wrote on Instagram.

“Respect, integrity, and consent are values I hold dear, and I have always treated everyone with utmost professionalism,” Oakenfold said.
“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,” he said.
Oakenfold, considered by many to be a legend in the electronic music scene, expressed his dedication to clearing this matter up.
“I am committed to fully cooperating 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,” he said.
He then thanked the fans that continue to rally around him.
“Thank you for your unwavering support and understanding during this challenging time.” (RELATED: REPORT: Rapper Charged After Allegedly Masturbating On Airplane)

Legal documents indicate the woman was assigned to be Oakenfold’s assistant while working at a management company, and allege he exposed himself on her very first day, according to TMZ. She claims to have informed her bosses about the incident and was subsequently told to sign an NDA if she wanted to keep her job. She said she signed the NDA under duress and was later assigned to another artist before being laid off.
The 24-year-old female is suing for unspecified damages, according to TMZ.
Oakenfold’s representatives claim he has not been served with legal documents.
