The term
Porta Potty first emerged on the internet after a disturbing video of a Nigerian schoolgirl surfaced—being humiliated and defecated on by wealthy Arab men in exchange for money (It can still be found on dark sites).
What was once dismissed as an online hoax quickly spiraled into confirmed horror stories. Today, “Porta Potty” is a codename whispered in escort circles, modeling agencies, and influencer group chats—a
warning sign dressed up as an opportunity.
Women, especially from Eastern Europe, Africa, and South America, are offered eye-watering amounts of money—$30,000, $50,000,
even $100,000—for a weekend in Dubai. The invite usually comes via DMs or intermediaries pretending to be modeling agents. The promise? Glamour. The reality? Filth—
literal filth.
According to multiple whistleblowers, these parties involve more than just sex. Women are forced to consume human waste, endure physical violence, be shaved bald, or have their teeth knocked out on camera. Some are reportedly suspended by hooks. And in many cases, these acts are filmed—used later for blackmail or traded on underground fetish forums.
It’s ritual humiliation wrapped in wealth. The darker the act, the higher the price. And the more beautiful the woman, the more they can get away with doing to her.
A Culture of Silence—and Legal Traps
While the world watches influencers show off designer bags and skyline views, few realize that in Dubai, even
victims can be punished.
As Radha Stirling, CEO of
Detained in Dubai, warns: “Sex outside marriage may have been decriminalized, but if a married man is involved, women can still be charged with adultery—even if they were coerced.”
In other words: if a woman is raped or tricked into one of these so-called parties and the man is married, she could end up in jail.
This has created a perfect storm—powerful men act with impunity, while victims are either silenced, deported, or even thrown in prison.
The Maria Kovalchuk Case: A Name We Already Know
Many of us is already be familiar with the harrowing case of
Maria Kovalchuk, the
20-year-old Ukrainian adult model who vanished after attending a party in Dubai. She was later found brutalized on the side of the road with a shattered spine and broken limbs. Dubai authorities claim she entered a construction site alone and fell. But Russian media and legal voices tell a darker story—one that connects all too well with the pattern of these "Porta Potty" events.
Her companion, fellow model
Angelina Doroshenkova, confirmed that they were invited by men posing as agents. Kovalchuk never made it to her flight to Thailand. Ten days later, she was found unable to speak and barely alive. Her current condition remains critical.
A Disturbing Trend with No End in Sight
Lawyer and activist
Katya Gordon described these parties as “rituals of humiliation”—a term more fitting than any. She points to a growing number of online videos showing girls being beaten, shaved, spat on, and degraded by very wealth men that has a lot of power.
And while some defend these events by saying the women “chose” to participate, others argue that desperation, manipulation, and coercion blur the lines.
“It’s not a choice when you’re poor and promised $50,000,” said one former participant anonymously. “It’s a trap.”
Worse, the parties are often recorded—not only for the gratification of the men involved, but also for control. Once filmed, a woman becomes disposable. She can’t go to the police. She can’t speak publicly. She can’t even tell her family. One wrong move, and her name, face, and shame will be splashed across the internet—or worse, she’ll be arrested under Dubai’s strict morality laws.
Behind the Filters: The Real Cost of That Lavish Lifestyle
Dubai has cultivated itself as a modern-day Babylon, where anything can be bought—including dignity. For every influencer flaunting designer heels in the desert, there’s another story behind the curtain. One of silence. One of pain. One of faeces, bruises, and legal threats.
The Porta Potty phenomenon is not just about sex work or consent. It’s about what happens when obscene wealth meets absolute power—and when lives become just another luxury commodity.
My "Own" Story & What I think about all of it
Back in either 2021 or 2022, my former sugarbabe — a South American girl — sent me multiple messages on WhatsApp one night, sounding quite desperate. We're talking 10+ messages. She told me she was in
“trouble” and needed money urgently. Just a day or two before that, she had updated her profile picture to one of her standing in front of the Bahrain Financial Harbour towers.
I hadn’t even known she was in Bahrain — as far as I was concerned, she was supposed to be in Switzerland. She never brought it up again after that, which is strange considering how desperate she seemed at the time.
At some point when I see her in person again, I’ll ask her directly — and by then, I’ll probably make a whole new post about it.
That said, it’s a fine line to walk. On one hand, it’s human nature to accept $10,000, $20,000, or even $30,000 for a weekend - even if you don´t know what essentially will happen.
However, no one is forcing these women to accept those offers. No one.
Pure ignorance is often at play, and it blows my mind that some women still fall for it in 2025, despite countless stories from whistleblowers and former “porta potty” attendees.
