In an opinion piece for The New York Times published on October 31, Stiklorius described how she and her brother went to a yacht party hosted by the rapper in St Barts while they were holidaying in the Caribbean 27 years ago. She wrote about how a man, believed to be one of Diddy’s associates, took her into a bedroom – but thankfully, she was able to persuade him to unlock the door and let her out.

“To this day, I can’t remember how I managed to talk my way out of that terrifying situation. Perhaps my nervous babbling – ‘My brother’s on this boat, and he’s probably looking for me!’ – convinced him to unlock the bedroom door and let me go,” the 49-year-old explained.

Combs was arrested in September and has since been charged with sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution. His legal troubles continue to mount as more accusers come forward.

In Stiklorius’ article, she writes that the music industry has been toxic for years and says it’s time for change. “Power has been concentrated in the hands of kingmakers: wealthy, entitled, nearly always male gatekeepers who control nearly every door that leads to success and who can, without consequence, use their power to abuse young women and young men,” she writes.
