It was horribly written. It was written as if she was sitting on the stoop, in the hood after the club telling her girls a story about this big time celeb she just smashed. the first sex scene with Ja Rule is incredibly hilarious, because Superhead/Karrine Steffans is a terrible writer. Every time she has sex with someone she talks about their bodies/lips "pressing together" or "sealing together." This was probably the most descriptive sex scene in the book. I feel bad for Ja Rule. Nobody wants to have their sex life on display like that! When Diddy gets really high and paranoid and warns Xzibit about Superhead, "she'll have you on video with your fingers in your booty."

Woman by Karrine Steffans | Goodreads

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. I would almost never call a woman a slut. I think it endorses a really sexist idea of women's sexuality. This book really stretched my beliefs though. Steffans tries to make it sound like she had relationships with a lot of famous hip hop stars and athletes but when she gets down to the details she mainly slept with them, sometimes in exchange for financial support. all of the times that she 'falls in love' right after meeting a celebrity, then starts crying because she's so in love and it's so sudden and raw and intense and blah blah blah (OH MY GOD THIS BOOK IS SO TERRIBLE).

Customer reviews

I will admit that sometimes I start a book with a great deal of skepticism about its content and this was definitely the case with Vindicated. I read Karrine’s first book where she detailed her so-called exploits with some of hip hop’s biggest names so I had mixed feelings going into this one. A part of me applauded her for behaving in a manner that many men do without any apologies and another part of me thought her behavior was a cry for help. it’s a wildly uneven book. It’s like the equivalent of reading a trashy novel. She gives her philosophy of life which feels like dime store wisdom.

Confessions of a Video Vixen - Wikipedia

I don’t fault her for telling her life story and feel sorry for the abuse she has suffered but if she wants to send a message there could have sermonized a little more plus certain things she thinks are romantic seem more to be her being taken advantage of more or just wrong Like the Jay-Z story or the Irv gotti story. She also seems to sensualize some of her stories but then they just end abruptly yet she can tell you exact details of materialistic things like what suit a person wore or what kind of car a person drove plus the interior of the car. Confessions of a Video Vixen recounts Steffans' life from her troubled girlhood living in poverty in St. Thomas, through abuse, drugs, rape and living as a teenage runaway who turns to stripping and hip hop modeling to support herself and, later, her young son.In 2003, Steffans appeared in the action movie A Man Apart, starring Vin Diesel.
