Dubai, a city famed for its glittering skyline, luxury shopping malls, and lavish influencer lifestyle, is now facing scrutiny over deeply disturbing allegations linked to so-called "Porta-Potty" parties.

The term "Porta-Potty" refers to secretive parties where young women are allegedly paid large sums to participate in degrading sex acts—often involving human waste and physical abuse. According to a chilling exposé by The Mirror, these events—allegedly hosted by ultra-wealthy individuals—entice young models and influencers with the promise of designer gifts, five-star hotel stays, and cash rewards, only to subject them to humiliating and abusive experiences.

French influencer Jade, known online as @outplayedbyjade, recently shared a concerning incident that triggered warnings from her followers. As reported by The Mirror, Jade recounted receiving unexpected gifts—including flowers and chocolates—from a man she briefly met at her gym in Dubai. She later received a call from Van Cleef & Arpels, inviting her to collect a luxury bracelet and necklace valued at approximately $3,000.

Curious and charmed, Jade accepted the invitation. “This assistant pulls out a beautiful bracelet and a matching necklace,” she said in a TikTok video. However, the story took a darker turn as followers cautioned her to "be careful," hinting that the man may be a "professional" involved in orchestrating “Porta-Potty” setups.

Maria never boarded her scheduled flight to Thailand. Ten days later, she was discovered abandoned on a roadside with life-threatening injuries: a broken spine, shattered limbs, and severe internal damage. Dubai Police claim she “entered a restricted construction site alone and fell from a height,” but many—including Russian lawyer Katya Gordon—believe the truth is far more sinister.

“Model Maria Kovalchuk was found dying on the side of the road in the UAE after a party,” Gordon told The Mirror. “The scandal with the Porta-Potty parties has been raging for over a year.” Gordon suspects Maria was coerced into one of these abusive gatherings.

Radha Stirling, CEO of Detained in Dubai, also warned of the legal risks involved. “Even if women are lured or coerced, they can still be charged with crimes such as indecency or adultery—especially if married men are present,” Stirling said. Dubai’s strict morality laws leave little protection for victims, even as sex outside marriage has technically been decriminalized.

Maria’s mother, devastated and desperate, told Ukrainian media: “She has no documents, no phone, nothing. She’s had three operations. She can’t speak. We were told she went to a party, but the promoter claims he never saw her. We’re terrified of what really happened.”
