On September 8th, Empress wrote on Facebook “Erick Morillo used to sexually harass me like crazy when I worked as a buyer at a Record Store in NYC called Satellite when I was 17 years old,” and added, “So much so that he even got my phone # out of the store’s database without my consent and also a friend of mine’s home # that I was at so he could call me & leave me harassing disgusting weird breathy, sexual messages.”

Then, she wrote “He would come up behind me and rub his d**k all over my legs & butt when I was facing the wall putting away records while breathing his hot, wet breath into my ears & whisper perverted sexual things he wanted to do to me. The first few times he did that to me, I remember just freezing. I didn’t know what to do, I was so young… He was this super intense, totally perverted creep.”

Empress said her boss told her that dealing with harassment was part of working with successful DJs, “I honestly did not know how to handle it when he would molest me in the middle of the store. I would get sick to my stomach with anxiety & my heart would race when he would come to the store or if I heard he was coming in. I did not have the emotional toughness & wherewithal to know how to handle it or tell him to fuck off. Nor did I have the option to quit because my father had literally thrown me out of his apartment & cut me off financially for deciding to be a DJ like he was.”

On August 6, 2020, Morillo was arrested and charged with sexual battery upon a woman. After his arrest, DJ Empress revealed that she was not surprised when she heard that Morillo had been arrested.

According to the report, she woke up naked in bed with Morillo standing next to her also naked. He was due to appear in court on September 4 but was found dead at his home three days earlier.
