John Legend’s Longtime Manager, Ty Stiklorius, Details Scary Experience On Diddy’s Yacht

John Legend‘s longtime manager, Ty Stiklorius, has opened up about a “terrifying” experience she claims she had at a Diddy party.

In an op-ed for The New York Times, which was published on Thursday, she wrote that the music industry

“actively fostered sexual misconduct and exploited the lives and bodies of those hoping to make it in the business.”

In the piece, Stiklorius details attending a yacht party hosted by Diddy in St. Barts. While she does not accuse the embattled mogul of misconduct, she describes an experience on the boat that shook her.

“I was directed into a bedroom by a man,” she recounts,

“and I am not sure of who he was or if he had any connection to Mr. Combs. 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.”

Having spent most of her adult life working in the music industry, she adds:

“After 20 years as a music industry executive, I now know what happened that night was no aberration.”

As previously reported, on September 16, 2024, Combs was arrested by U.S. Homeland Security investigators in Manhattan after he was indicted by a grand jury.

He is charged with sex trafficking and racketeering. During his first court appearance at a Manhattan federal courthouse on September 17, 2024, Combs pled not guilty. During this court appearance, U.S. Magistrate Judge Robyn Tarnofsky denied Combs bail and ordered for him to remain to jail.

His attorneys offered a $50 million bond, but on September 18, a second judge, Andrew L. Carter Jr., also denied bail, as he is concerned about potential witnesses being threatened or intimidated.

Combs is detained in Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center. On September 24, a woman filed a lawsuit against Combs, alleging Combs and his head of security drugged her, bound her, and raped her in 2001 when she was 25 years old.
