A former model has warned that abusers like disgraced rap mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs are prevalent in the entertainment industry.
Precious Muir, a former Playboy Bunny, disclosed this in an exclusive interview with The Mirror. She claimed that there is a pattern of manipulative behavior in the entertainment industry, and that she attended parties hosted by Combs.
"I felt like the industry has a lot of people like this, and it's not just Diddy. So as much as [he] is the king of parties and he's also said, 'There's no party like a Diddy party,' there are a lot of other people in the industry that are very similar to him," Muir said.
"[There's] a formula amongst the entertainment industry where women and people, young men as well, are taken advantage of. There's drugs involved, there's manipulation involved, there [are] all sorts of abuse involved in the situation," she added.
While the former model disclosed the existence of a pattern of manipulation in the entertainment industry, she did not accuse anyone in particular of any wrongdoing and emphasized that Combs "did not create this."
"He has learned this behavior from somebody else, and that is what I really want to stress to people. Somebody has shown him this lifestyle and he has basically taken that lifestyle and took it to a place of no return."
Muir also told the tabloid that some people refuse to speak up about their experiences because "they're scared for their life [and] their safety," and that "their career could be ended." For her part, she admitted that speaking up about her own experiences "has been huge."
"The response was overwhelming, to be honest, when people first heard the experience that I had. They couldn't believe it, they couldn't understand that I went through that at such a young age. They couldn't understand that I had been through something like that."
Muir and other models "pressured" to accept spiked drinks at Diddy parties
The former Playboy Bunny said she and other models were "pressured" to accept alcoholic drinks laced with other substances during parties hosted by the now-jailed Bad Boy Records founder.
She recounted one White Party hosted by Combs – named after the color of the attire guests are required to wear – and told the tabloid that being invited to the event was the "opportunity of a lifetime" for her. Despite this, Muir also claimed that there was a dark side to these parties.
According to her, she and other fellow models were "seen maybe as fresh meat" by the other celebrities who attended the party. Such big gatherings, she added, weren't complete without illegal drugs.
"I didn't want to upset them and say the wrong things, so I would take drinks. I wouldn't drink it, but I'd take it so as not to upset them," the model shared. But Muir also revealed one incident where she fell victim to a spiked drink commonly offered during these parties.
The incident happened at a bar, during a party for a vodka brand. Muir had taken a sip out of a vodka cranberry cocktail offered to her before feeling paralyzed on one side of her face. According to the model, she feared she could have died had she drank more of the spiked beverage.
"That kind of experience is left with you. [But] you hope for the best. You're hoping that the next time you go it won't happen again, there'll be something else. But the inner circle of people is the same people and you start to realize that they're not changing."
