Several influencers, models and women who frequent the same spaces of a certain section of Dubai’s ultra-rich have come forward online to speak up about the abuse they faced in ‘Porta-Potty’ parties.
These ‘Porta-Potty’ parties are parties where the city’s ultra-rich lure in and bring models, female actors, fitness influencers and beautiful women and force them to perform degrading sex acts.
The term “porta-potty” originally refers to a portable toilet, the kind seen at construction sites, festivals or outdoor events. It’s a self-contained, movable toilet unit that doesn’t require plumbing.
However, in the context of “Porta-Potty parties”, the term has taken on a dark, euphemistic meaning. It originates from online exposés about wealthy men, especially in places like Dubai, allegedly paying young models or influencers large sums of money to attend private parties where they are made to perform extreme acts involving bodily fluids, especially feces (hence the link to a “portable toilet”).
A blogpost by the organisation DetainedInDubai cited model Saint Mullan’s video where she said she was approached by a man inviting her to a yacht party in Dubai. She further narrates in the video that she was offered £16,000 to fly to Dubai to allegedly fulfil a prince’s bizarre fetishes, which included urinating on her.
The content creator and fitness trainer told The Mirror that she never intended to travel to Dubai, but continued the conversation out of curiosity in a bid to see how far the man would go.
In screenshots she shared, the unidentified individual claimed a “prince” was hosting a private yacht party and had personally invited her, saying the prince “loves beautiful women” and found her “very attractive.”
The prince, reportedly worth £321 million, was allegedly willing to pay her £16,000 to join him and a friend, offering a sum that amounts to less than one percent of his net worth.
The reports regarding these parties have been making rounds on social media since 2022. Ghanaian news aggregator @SIKAOFFICIAL1 in 2022 posted a viral thread which cited a Reddit post where an anonymous person said that she was raped, forced into degrading sex acts where she was forced to have sex with a dog, where older men rubbed her face on their feet, urinated and excreted on her.
Women lured to these parties could end up facing criminal charges, even if they were brought in against their will. Radha Stirling, who heads Detained in Dubai, warned that the presence of married men could expose them to cases of adultery or indecency.
“Sex outside marriage may technically be legal now in Dubai,” Stirling said, “but organisers are twisting that reality. These women think they’re going to a private party, instead, they’re thrown into violent, humiliating situations with serious legal risk hanging over them”.

Colombian model Laura Sánchez has warned young women to steer clear of shady job offers in Dubai, calling out the so-called “Porta Potty Parties” in a viral TikTok. Behind promises of luxury, she said, lie abusive and degrading situations. Her message was aimed especially at models, influencers and young people chasing quick fame or money.
Model Beaten Left For Dead
Maria Kovalchuk, a 20-year-old Ukrainian adult model, was reportedly left for dead after attending one of Dubai’s infamous “Porta-Potty” parties.
She disappeared after telling her mother she’d been invited to spend the night with two men posing as modelling agents. She never boarded her flight to Thailand.
Ten days later, on March 19, Maria was found dumped on the side of a Dubai road with a shattered spine, broken limbs and internal injuries. She has since undergone multiple surgeries and remains in recovery, while her family stays by her side demanding answers.
Dubai Police confirmed she is receiving medical care but claimed Maria had entered a restricted construction site and fallen from a height. It was a version that many find hard to believe, given the secrecy surrounding these elite parties.
Russian lawyer Katya Gordon, who has tracked the case, alleged that Maria was left to die after being abused at one such party. She claimed Maria may have been forced into degrading sex acts involving human faeces, a theme allegedly central to these gatherings.
Maria’s mother told Ukrainian media that her daughter had no ID, phone or belongings when found. “She’s had three operations. She can’t speak. We were told she went to a party, but the promoter says he never saw her. We’re terrified of what really happened.”
