John Legend’s long-time manager attended one of Sean “Diddy” Combs’ parties 27 years ago — and now he’s sharing his allegedly “terrifying” experience.

On Thursday you Sticlorius wrote an article in the New York Times about a trip to the New Year’s Eve yacht party in St. Barts with her brother as a college graduate.

During the party, the manager, now 49, recalls that “the man directed her to the bedroom.”

Stiklorius, who explained that she was “not sure who (the person) was or if she had any relationship with” Combs, recalled “nervous babbling” in response.

“I still don’t remember how I managed to escape from that terrifying situation,” she said. “Maybe… ‘My brother is on that boat and he’s probably looking for me!’ I convinced him to open the bedroom door and let me out.

At the time, Stiklorius considered the experience an “anomaly” because “only one guy behaved badly at a drinking party” – but she has since changed her mind.

The Friends at Work founder claimed that several years after Combs’ party, she received an “unsubtle invitation” to the senior music executive’s hotel room.

After describing the music industry as “a pervasive culture… that actively encourages sexual misconduct and exploits the lives and bodies of those who seek to succeed in the business,” she credited Legend, 45, for helping her “succeed.”

Stiklorius enthused: “It turns out that many artists, including John, want to be part of a different business and culture model.”
