An artist by the name of Pieke Roelofs for Photo and Grime is making some pretty harsh claims on social media against superstar DJ Gareth Emery.
So the story goes, the artist was originally given a job by Emery’s team after he allegedly “stole images” from her. Then, after putting time, money and work into a music video project she was “ghosted.”
In a series of tweets below, the artist goes in on Emery and his team, in great detail. In one of her most recent tweets, Roelofs she reveals he finally reached out to her.
Finally @garethemery replied. He said he’d try fix things. Yesterday he offered me, my models and make-up artist, 1500 for all the damage. While I made costs over 1400 already. Did hours of work.
It seems the artist has made somewhat of a hobby calling people out via social media platforms, as her bio reads:
Do what’s right, not from 9-5, but 24/7. Dutch, autistic, photographer, humanist. I write about art, mental health, social issues & scumbag(gittoe)s.
Hopefully everything gets sorted out…
Artist Accuses Gareth Emery of Ghosting Her
Famous artist brags about his money, brags about wanting to help artists getting paid, but actually is a hypocrite & doesn't pay the artist he stole images of & his team gave a job to make up for it & then ghosted / mistreated, leaving her with all the costs she made.

They gave me a job to make up for the art theft of my work and said they would license the images. His then manager, @Roxanne_Emery, officially commissioned me. I would co-write and co-direct his newest music video featuring @MissCNovelli. I met @Roxanne_Emery in Amsterdam. http://pic.twitter.com/l8TgvHflAU

This is what it’s like to be an artist. Used, abused, mistreated, all the time. http://pic.twitter.com/tKxDeJoSSH

.. Due to the financial burden it would be on me, due to being harassed and threatened by the fans of my rapist who attacked me. When I finally came out of the hospital, I wrote this message: http://pic.twitter.com/6Z5YvkNVmg
