Ty Stiklorius attended one of P. Diddy's New Year's Eve parties on a yacht in St. Barts in 1997. At that time, he had just graduated from college and went to the party with his sister. During the party, Stiklorius revealed that he was led to a bedroom by a man.

Ty Stiklorius explained that he does not remember how he managed to escape from that situation. "To this day, I don't remember how I got out of that terrifying situation. Maybe my nervous rambling convinced him to unlock the bedroom door and let me go," he wrote.

2. Not an Odd Thing in the Music Industry

Ty Stiklorius at that time assumed it was just a man behaving badly and drunk at a party. Now, he realizes that what he experienced is not uncommon in this music industry. "After 20 years as a music industry executive, I now know that what happened that night was not an anomaly. It is a culture that is widespread in the music industry that actively encourages sexual harassment and exploits the lives and bodies of people hoping to succeed in this business," he said.

3. Helped By A Longtime Friend - John Legend

Ty Stiklorius revealed that the experience almost made her give up in the music industry. However, she persevered thanks to the support of John Legend, her longtime friend, who provided new hope in her career. "I stayed in this industry because in 2005, a longtime college friend who was starting to achieve success as an artist reached out to me," she explained.
