A Reddit thread full of damning claims about artists such as Deadmau5, Tiesto, Carl Cox, Steve Aoki has become a viral sensation.
The thread, called 'Former Groupies Of Reddit', has taken a predictably salacious and questionable turn, with user 'nopenoone' claiming that she 'used to be an assistant TM for quite a few big-name EDM acts and was in regular rotation for artist handling for a handful of large festivals'.
Among her highly negative (and ultimately, unproveable) claims, are allegations that Afrojack is 'a douche', Deadmau5 'hates those who love him', Steve Aoki is 'a dick' and Diplo likes 'girls who look like they would taste like salty garbage'.
It's either the work of a embittered music industry insider, or a troll with too much time on her hands. Either way, it would be wise to take the following alleged events with a pinch of salt.
Of Deadmau5, she wrote: "He hates those who like him and treat him well. If you treat him like shit he likes you so much more. He also is obsessed with being the ‘hurr durr l337 m4st3r tr0ll lolololol’. I know a lot about Joel, including how he got to where he is and how if it wasn’t for the fact one artist, who is a childhood friend of his who he stabbed in back, he would still probably be living like a crack-den."
Meanwhile, Steve Aoki is allegedly "a dick. He thinks its funny to talk about the girls he f**ks in a really messed up way, and likes to push them to do really extreme things", and Fatboy Slim apparently "once did so much coke in the greenroom he got a nosebleed and I had to replace the pillows on the couch."
She writes that Diplo "has always been very polite to me, and he’s easy to handle but he likes suuuuuper trashy, really young (looking) girls. The kind of girls who look like they would taste like salty garbage" and that Carl Cox "doesn’t tip. Ever. He’s loud and rowdy and likes bony white women, usually blond. He throws one helluva private yacht party during WMC. Every time I go he gets me fucking wasted… that dick. haha I love him. He gives the best hugs."
On the subject of Tiesto, she says: "There is a lot of Tiesto you have to remember when handling him (if people are going to meet-and-greet it must be in a certain lighting so you can’t really see his age or what touring has done to him. He’s also had a lot of work done), only girls of a certain look and likes multiples. When he leaves the venue, alley and path to his car must be completely secured, he really likes snow-peas and always has them in his rider."
