Model’s Near-Lifeless Body Found On Roadside In Dubai With Spine And Limbs Broken After Party
What started as a luxurious vacation full of business opportunities ended in a life-changing tragedy for Maria Kovalchuk, a Ukrainian model who was found near-lifeless beside a road in Dubai yesterday (March 19).
The 20-year-old had been missing for ten days after informing friends and family that she was invited to a hotel party by two men claiming to be representatives of the modeling industry on March 9.
- Maria Kovalchuk, a 20-year-old Ukrainian model, found near-lifeless in Dubai after missing for 10 days.
- Maria's spine, arms, and legs were shattered from a suspected brutal assault, not an accident.
- Maria may have been lured to Dubai by a fake modeling opportunity and fell victim to an abuse scheme.
A search was launched by local authorities on March 11, when the model failed to show up for a scheduled flight to Thailand, sparking concern among her loved ones.
The family’s desperation turned into horror when authorities discovered Maria, who was in critical condition with her spine, arms, and legs shattered.

Hailing from Lviv in Western Ukraine, Maria Kovalchuk was not just a model but also an outspoken anti-war activist.
Preliminary reports suggest that Maria’s injuries were not the result of an accident but that she was the victim of a brutal assault. The model, due to the extent of her injuries, remains unable to speak.

She was abandoned on the side of the road without her phone, identification, or documents. The model was immediately rushed to a hospital, where she has reportedly undergone four life-saving procedures.
The circumstances surrounding Maria’s disappearance remain murky. According to her mother, Anna, the party’s promoter, got into contact with the family and claimed to not have seen Maria that night.

Angelina Doroshenkova, a model and friend of Maria, was invited to the same party but ultimately decided to return to her country a few days before her friend vanished. Speaking to Ukrainian media, she expressed relief at Maria being found and thanked those who helped with the search.
“We all hope for the best and are very grateful to everyone who took part in the search and helped with information,” she said.
Maria could’ve fallen victim to an adult entertainment scheme where wealthy men lure models to abuse and humiliate men

Amid the horror of Maria’s injuries, disturbing fears have arisen that she may have fallen victim to a “twisted” adult entertainment scheme involving wealthy sheiks in Dubai.
According to Russian media reports, Maria’s family fears she may have been r***d and to****ed for days before being discarded.
According to The Sun, the event she attended is now suspected to have been a so-called “Porta Potty” party, gatherings where women, often influencers from former Soviet states, are lured with promises of exorbitant amounts of money, only to face abuse at the hands of extremely wealthy men.

These parties, often attended by elite Arab sheiks, have become infamous after numerous stories emerged of women being forced into humiliating and violent situations.
“There are videos circulating where sheiks allegedly beat girls, cut their hair, and do all sorts of other things to them,” explained lawyer Katya Gordon to The Sun, urging women not to go to said events, no matter how tempting the monetary incentives might be.
Details of what transpired that night now hinge on Maria’s recovery, as investigators hope her testimony could provide crucial information to find those responsible.
“Utterly evil.” Netizens were horrified by the details of Maria’s case and hoped those responsible would be brought to justice

I'm appalled to see some of the comments in the article blaming her for what happened. It is NOT her fault. Implying it was is horrendous. Monsters did this. Monsters broke her spine and legs and arms. A person/animal that is t*****ed and abused is never at fault. Ever!! Details aren't even available yet bc the poor woman can't. Even! Communicate!!!! People's cruel speculation and judgment make me sick.
F*cking sociopathic to skip over the perpetrators' actions to criticize her.
Load More Replies...The victim blaming in the comments is disgusting. I don't care what choices any person in a situation like this made, it's the people who chose to do this to her that are the problem, not her
I hope she wakes up and names every single person involved!! F*****g disgusting creeps. And shame on the people who are blaming her, doesn't matter how you dress what job you have whatever, it doesn't give anyone the right to attack you.
Unfortunately, if the b*sterds are placed high enough they will find a way to silence here one way or another...
Load More Replies...Dubai is a Hell pit of debauchery. It is basically a country where being a "Diddy/Epstein" is socially acceptable... It is the evil and hypocrisy of Islam made manifest. To alot of these rich f***s everyone there is a slave who exist in this world for them to use and abuse as they are god's chosen... For those who have ppl who want to immigrate there for work be it s*x work or not. EDUCATE THEM on the kind of place Dubai is... On what kind of "people" many of the oil princes or foriegn rich folk who gravitate there are... No amount of money is worth it.
I always read and see videos of people claiming how safe Dubai is, leaving their purse or wallet on a car to come back later to it still being there. This article shows the real Dubai, it is a hedonistic resort for the rich.
But it IS safe as long as you do typical tourist stuff. I am female and spent a week there alone and felt safe. But of course you should never go with strangers, no matter where in the world. I live in a reasonably safe country in Europe but I have no doubt horrible things can happen to young women going to „parties“ where they don’t know anybody.
Load More Replies...The pain and t*****e she must have endured to have so many bones broken. I hurt just thinking about it. I hope they catch and @$$holes that did this and put them in a very dark, deep hole.
This is horrifying. And think about the details they *aren’t* releasing.
Load More Replies...You do not deserve this no matter what you did to end up in the situation. People need to stop with the victim-blaming b******t. Imagine if this was your daughter, friend, sister, etc. One silly mistake or questionable judgement call should not result in you being tortured, possibly r***d and almost killed.
I hope there's enough international outcry to make those sheikhs accountable. I also hope we stop using oil once and for all to see all those blingy shitholes collapse.
Small problem with that... only 2% of Dubai's income is oil. Everything else is tourism... 🤷♀️
Load More Replies...It is sad that so many young women only feel seen and belong if some rich people invite them to parties. Especially in countries where women have no value and blond ones are only a trophy. The even sadder part is, that in countries like Dubai the males having done this to her will never face any consequences.
I hope whereever she is has security. Who knows how many people would love for her to not be able to talk about her experience.
if she is able to talk again at all. Do you think they told her who they really were or she just knew them somehow?
Load More Replies...So let me get this straight a woman goes to a hotel to get paid for the participation of a consensual s*x party and there's one or more men that go so far as to break her spine and multiple limbs and it's the woman's fault because she should have known better?! WHAT IN THE F**K IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE?!
The victim-blaming commenters are probably the same kind of people who, when told that a prostitute was r***d and killed, would say, "Well, when you do that kind of thing for a living, what do you expect?" It's not just the perpetrators in this story that are thoroughly disgusting.
I will get downvoted to oblivion but, it will be worth it. Victim shaming is disgusting. The have long been stories about young women being lured to sordid "parties" where wealthy men do disgusting things to these women. Now, if an attractive young woman is lured to that, on the premise of money, that DOES NOT MEAN ALL YOU SHAMERS GET TO SAY THAT A WOMAN DESERVES TO BE BEATEN, HER SPINE BROKEN AND LEFT TO DIE! HOW DARE YOU! What is wrong with you people? Human rights and dignity? Huh? Have you even thought about THAT? Have you thought for just one, single second about perhaps raising awareness of these atrocities against women in countries that treat females like garbage, like commodities, like property? For just 10 seconds people, get your heads out of your asses and STAND UP FOR THIS!!!!! STOP. TREATING WOMEN LIKE DIRT! I AM SO DONE WITH THIS DISGUSTING PLANET!!!!!! DONE!!!!!!
I completely agree. So many people here don't understand the difference between facts and blame. If people were saying "x y and z are all known signs that a party is actually a front for a crime" is fine "she shouldn't have gone/she should have known better" is victim blaming. I'm so upset by so many of these comments.
Load More Replies...Dubai is such a sick, sh1thole and I have known this for many (!) years! I knew this way before meeting husband (he has family in Dubai) where my work used to arrange so that some workers could go there and some from Dubai come to us in USA. I hope the poor girl recovers quickly and that she hasn’t been “silenced” from speaking up. Oh, and I bet those f*****s that are saying it’s her fault are the same psychos that did this. Probably Arabs..
I'm from Eastern Europe. Back in the 90's human trafficking and fake job adverts were so prevalent, we had safety classes held by the police. Basically any job that had the words "young, attractive, lively woman" was an invitation for disaster. Same with job adverts looking for "animators to dance in clubs and resorts". Amsterdam, Berlin, Dubai, Cairo were the main destinations. In the UK to this day, people often use the term "dresses like an Eastern European prostitute". Most of those girls were actually trafficking victims, but hey.
I can't believe people still fall for this. Hiring white "models" to go do generic "modeling" work in Arab and Asian countries is usually just p**********n. They know the woman can't leave on her own, is in an environment she has no control over, and is somewhere that their native language isn't spoken by anyone (at least not to them). This was huge in the 80s and 90s. Movies have been made with this plot line. It doesn't matter that the woman isn't actually a prostitute either. Once they get in to that environment they are helpless and will become victims. Don't do this. Don't fall for it.
Young ladies need to be very careful visiting this country. There is a very dark, ugly "underbelly" in these places; and foreigners will be "blamed" for the actions of the citizens when things go wrong. Dubai is not as liberal as people think.
Too many people victim blaming rather than pointing out and condemning the disgusting behaviour of men.
Dubai. What did she expected? Poor girl. I hope they die painfully.
Not everyone is fortunate enough to be well-educated about the cultures of other countries, unfortunately.
Load More Replies...One thing is "victim blaming" but having common sense is completely different. People who risk themselves and put themselves in dangerous situations by own choice are not precisely innocent"victims". They knew about potential risks beforehand and made a risky choice anyway which ended being harmful. That's not victim blaming, specially when the victim knew in advance that their behavior was risky. It is not like she was minding her own business and got a*s4ulted, she went there willingly. The monsters who hurt her are still guilty, but common sense could have avoided her all the hell she went through
Well she is precisely innocent because she was lured under false pretences. Yes she was naive, but at that age you are. She's barely out of girlhood.
Load More Replies...I think if it were a man who had this happen to him then there would be more sympathy, which is appalling. This young woman did nothing to deserve what happened to her. I hope they find the monsters and string them up by their gen!tals
Can we also address the headline here? "Model's nearly lifeless body found" is such an objectifying why to describe the situation. She is more than just her body. How about "Model found nearly lifeless" instead? Or even use a taboo word with "Model found near death"?
Yet again, perpetrators from the 'religion of peace' use and abuse western women cos they are 'asking for it' showing anything above the ankle. True, she was a 'model' like I'm a milkcart, but no excuses. I expect the rich bar stewards will buy themselves out of trouble. Keep away from the Muslims, girls. Not worth the risk.
It's not a matter of being a Muslim, a Christian, an atheist or anything to do with religion. It's a matter of being a sick f**k. Don't tar everyone from one religion with the same brush.
Load More Replies...I think it is absolutely NOT ok to victim blame. She is clinging to life after a unimaginable ordeal. Her life has changed forever. She will likely never fully recover physically or mentally. Her only crime was to be a little naïve. The men who did this to her are the criminals. If this was your daughter would you be so quick to blame?
I don't come to BP for celebs, for the tragic or for the lurid. This one's got all three.
Then eff off and don't click on an article that has the words "model" and "body" in the title..?
Load More Replies...A lesson for all of us! If it seems to great ,it isn't worth your life!
Why any woman would travel to places like Dubai or India is a mystery to me.
Where was He when she was being beaten and her bones were being shattered? Where was He when she was being tossed on the side of the road like a piece of trash? God didn't bless her, He cursed her. It's a bit late for his blessing now, isn't it?
