But I was interested in hearing what all the talk was about. Well, I'll tell you one thing...fathers...stay close to your daughters and show them all the love you can show them because if not you might have a daughter or daughters like Karrine....searching her whole life to be accepted and love by men to replace the love she needed from her dad!! That was the message loud and clear to me. I did not enjoy the book...it had me shaking my head throughout the read...I was like how many times can a person fall in love??? I was sad for her most of the time but as I read I realize that she commanded MOST of the problems she had due to bad judgement calls and wanting to satisfy her desires (money or sex)...the drugs and booze didn't help. I felt bad for her son and how he must feel about his mother right now...I don't think she has changed much as I look at the other books she has pushed out to solitify her as a "superhead" or the ultimate bad girl in the entertainment industry...it was a sad read. She talked about alot of men in this book and I'm sure you can multiply that shit by 10 to get the true numbers...shit I bet she don't even know...she was so high or drunk !! I don't think this story will deter young girls from taking this path...she wouldve had to die in this story to really get her message across effectively...so much for the meassge!! The message is being a ho is good..it worked for me and here I wrote a book about it...wanna hear it...here it go!!!! In this story there was no message to stop what she was doing in any way mostly because as she said she enjoyed it all the way to the end...come on ...Bobby Brown...she was scrapping the barrel!! I know it is her memoir but she writes melodramatically almost like she is a college student trying to show off her intelligence to a professor she over does it using big words way too much for this kind of book and stories. KW: Do you hope your book will warn young girls of the sexual exploitation, drugs and other pitfalls of appearing in gangsta’ videos which await them when they arrive in Hollywood.

You left a lot of the lurid details of sexual encounters out of the new book. Shouldsome things stay private? KS: Anyone in that position, in an interviewer’s position, to do it well, should always remain objective. That’s part of the job. It was awful. All she did was brag about all the celebs she slept with, and how they wives were at home knowing they were with her. I can only imagine the lives she ruined. The broken families.

Confessions of a Video Vixen is a memoir written by Karrine Steffans which details the first 25 years of her life. Part tell-all covering her sexual liaisons with music industry personalities and professional athletes, and part cautionary tale about the dangers of the otherwise romanticized hip-hop music industry, it caused considerable controversy in some circles. She wrote [ Confessions Of A Video Vixen] to expose on Jay-Z, Ja Rule, P Diddy and all these other guys in hip-hop, and now we can see her just before she joined those guys," Howard Levine, national sales manager of Vivid, told AVN.com. "Before she blew the lid off the hip-hop world, she blew Mr. Marcus."

KS: I’ve walked out on interviews, when they’re so beneath me and what I’m trying to say. And then there are people like Tyra who are hypocrites. Women especially, who have slept their way through their whole careers. And it’s not a secret within the Hollywood circle.Her journey is filled with physical abuse, rape, drug and alcohol abuse, homelessness and single motherhood–all by the age of 26. By sharing her story, Steffans hopes to shed light on an otherwise romanticised industry and help young women avoid the same pitfalls she encountered. If they’re already in danger, she hopes to inspire them to find a way to dig themselves out of what she knows first-hand Confessions of a Video Vixen is a story about a girl who endured physical, mental, and emotional abuse from mother and it began a cycle for Karrine that continued as she found herself in abusive relationships. Karrine’s mother put in her mind that she was unwanted, unloved, and unworthy.
