Steve Aoki Admits To Being A Sex Addict And Narrowly Avoids Jail Sentence
Steve Aoki has today issued a public apology in response to last Wednesday’s events at his Together Tour in Torino, Italy. Aoki was physically removed from stage during his show by event security staff, after he was seen to perform a sexual act on his equipment.
‘I would like to take this opportunity to apologise to my fans, you are what is important here and without you I’d make absolutely no money!’
‘While I know what I did was wrong and I apologise profusely for it, I hope you will all understand that it was my love for EDM, that caused me to have these feelings and to sodomise my CDJs.’
A teary eyed Aoki continued, ‘I have been silently suffering with sex addiction for some time now, tours are long and lonely places and sometimes there is nothing else to share your bed, apart from electronic equipment. In my darkest hour, I’ve even slept with Deadmau5’s mouse helmet.’
Aoki narrowly managed to avoid jail time after Italian officials decided public service would be a more reasonable punishment for the DJ. The EDM star suggested performing for preschool groups as his public service. Although in the end, the judge decided it would be better for Aoki to do something he knew and sent him to make cheese in a local dairy plant.
