Do you know if she was seeing the guy at the same time as Tyra? If so, that explains her attitude, though it doesn't excuse it. That was an unprofessional interview.
@@tgirl1762 She was teasing her about how hard her life had gotten it was just wrapped up as a passive aggressive question. But I would only expect self aware people to see that so this thread aint for you boo :)
The way Tyra jumped down her throat was uncalled for. Clearly someone she dated was mentioned in the book. She should have kept that same energy when she was being “bullied” to tears by Naomi back in the day.
I can't stand Tyra anyway, the way she treated the black women on ANTM was terrible, and she was being a betch to Karrine, cutting her off and everything.
@Ms. B Yep and she decided to be ignorant and petty by trying to bully her on tv because she knew she had everyone including the audience on her side but she scared of Naomi because she knows Naomi gonna give her two lumps 👊🏾👊🏾if she get smart 🤣like that just like when she yelled at that girl on Antm because she started crying I would’ve flipped tables had it been me 🤷🏾♀️
Karrine Steffans is absolutely right she was put down as a black woman for exploiting herself while Kim Kardashian doing the same thing and barely gets hate.
You know the thing about these Kardashians that no one has ever touched on but the two plus two that will equal four is out there but because of their race no one has ever touched it and so obvious. Kris Jenner and her attorney husband Rob Kardashian senior or the culprits in the murder of OJ's wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her at that time knew boo returning the sunglasses was a setup between the 33rd degree Free Mason Eastern, Kris Jenner and her husband attorney Rob Kardashian senior pulled off that lick because OJ said he had sex with Chris in the indoor pool in his basement while Rob Kardashian senior and OJ's wife had left the pool and gone upstairs. OJ said he pulled down his swim trunks and Chris's eyes but after the two had sex OJ said Chris realized her vagina had been injured and asked OJ to take her to the hospital but he refused and told Chris to have Robert Sr take her to the emergency room which he did. Now, since OJ and what I've seen your were allegedly friends and after Rob seen you realize that his friend OJ had broke his wife's back as OJ called it Rob senior was extremely upset and decided it was time for him to get some back door from OJ and this is how the murder was set up and how the situation occurred and let us not forget the police officer who became involved who was also known to Rob Kardashian but not to OJ. I do not believe OJ killed his wife and her new lover Goldman I do believe Kris Jenner who is the most treacherous liar, the most devious satanic Free Mason Eastern Star 33rd degree as were all of her daughters involved in the young girl part of the Freemasons, Kris Jenner and her husband Rob Kardashian senior pulled off that murder, hit that lick just to get revenge because of the disrespect of OJ when he hit the back of that vaginal area of Kris Jenner's and broke that back. I say let's get it let's get it let's get it all day and Chris you already know it is not allegedly how the public feels about you your eyes are the window to the soul and dirt equals dirt equals dirty equals dirtier equals the dirty ass all day long 24/7 every day! So, Kris Jenner do your thing because whatever happens in the dark will come to light and those that did not know will eventually know you are a satanic worshiping Freemason Oregon selling Eastern Star money maker. Kris Jenner your day is coming may you be blessed by the Father in heaven to the highest degree when that day the fiery pit is opened and all of the fame and fortune you accumulated cannot be taken with you your time is up!!
I remember when her book came out, the media was vicious towards her! That Tyra interview was just nasty to watch. Hoping karrine has a successful future
omg Queen heyyyy!!! love you :) but I agree, Tyra was so awful omg. constantly tearing down women, i wonder why i was so blind to it when i was younger
If this book came out today no one would even batt an eyelash. She was completely ahead of her time and people hated her for what she did because they were just naive. I wish her 1000 years of success.
You are absolutely right no one would pay attention because the devil, the illuminati, these Satanist s have put so much of this disgusting behavior in our faces that have caused us to be used to seeing this sort of pervert behavior it would be nothing different because society has pretty much gotten used to this behavior being common place. Sad AF! To God be the glory amen amen and amen
Tyra obviously hated being black and wouldn't make it that apparent in her shows by "empowering" black women. Now that it's cool, she's trying to make it seem that she's some kind of pioneer for black power, especially in ANTM.
“Karrine” opening statement confirming pretty privilege, I love it! One thing you have to respect is the fact that she’s straight up about hers. She’s definitely an observer and she expresses herself eloquently especially today.
urtheboss1-because at least she is upfront with what she’s doing and not trying to hide it. There’s so many people who pretend to be so self-righteous, who literally do the same thing. I respect people who are transparent like this. That way I know what I’m getting.
It's messed up how men were calling her names for talking about her sexual experiences with them but men go around talking about women all the time everybody wants to protect the black men but not the women
It be the same men who can’t stand Cardi B, Megan, Saweetie, City Girls rap style but uplift the male rappers who talk about 💦 in women’s faces, degrading them, pouring gin and juice on them etc. what’s good for the goose is good for the gander.
How about everyone keep their bedroom escapades in their bedroom. People wanna put all their business out in the streets and at the same time be sensitive about being judged. Make that make sense
@@ladyyananumber1200 Tell that to all the rappers and male entertainers who tell their “bedroom business” first. When they stop, maybe women will follow suit.
When Tyra said “you’re dying inside aren’t you?” with that smirk on her face I would have read her for filth in the most eloquent way if I were Karrine. Tyra just wanted to make a fool out orf the girl because she was with someone that Tyra was supposed to be dating at the time. Smh…
😳 dang I didn't know that tea... But they know those guys are all out whores... They just got mad cuz she outted em... Sad folk out here... And Tyra is just ugh... I was rooting for her but now, nah... She's a mean girl and this wasn't to only time she shows that
@@TheLyric7 yeah I don't fuck with Tyra anymore either. She tried to destroy Naomi Campbell but couldn't because she's still modeling and Tyra's hosting. Models usually retire at Naomi's age but not Naomi. She got the best walk anyway.
@@TheCoachRC Oooooohhh ok so that’s Y she tried it the way she did. I kinda figured it was someone she’d have a history or something with. Tyra did seem to take this girl’s story personal. It all makes sense…
If those men weren’t behaving badly, they’d be nothing to expose, sooooo 🤷🏾♀ She’s only getting stuck because she took a hold of her life and sorted herself out and didn’t play victim. I admire people who have been living a wrong and sinful life, yet still get themselves out of it and repent. Although the 10 years after the book sound just as messy! 😬. I hope she has finally moved away from the bad life.
Honestly, I dont think it even matters why she wrote the book. These things happened to her and if she wants to tell the story that's her business whatever the motive or reason. Everyone is pressed and wondering why she would name names, but why isn't the immediate focus, how could people treat another human the way they treated her? And I've read all her books, she is very open and honest about all the pain she experienced as well as the pain she inflicted on herself, her son and other people in her life. She takes full accountability for the situations she found herself in, but many of the horrible things that happen to Karrine was and continues to be the product of hip-hop culture and the toxicity that surrounds not only the music industry but also the Black community.
The only thing that's toxic is people lack of integrity. People always talking about toxicity but constantly perpetuate the same behavior. People should learned from the previous generation but no they're not. In the near future things that happening now will repeat because no one is learning from the past.
Amen!!! As a feminine male myself who has been disgustingly sexualized/objectified by masculine men for no reason at all…the times when I would post screenshots/photos of the closeted men mistreating me, I would have women AND men bashing me for revealing them! I’m like WTF 😳, you guys don’t care the actions of these cowards, but me??? The disastrous effects of patriarchy/misogyny worldwide…
@@kidano5317 dude America is not a Patriarchy. America has always been a corporation. These white girls say this and y'all fall in line like servants. America is a corporation that why people from other countries come over and set up shops, business.
@@Racism-n3j America is indeed a corporation, aka free market capitalism. Which is indeed rooted in religious patriarchy. Compared to many of the white women who often exaggerate such claims or lie, it’s obvious Karrine is telling the truth. What does your unnecessary comment have to do with this video?
I don’t agree with all of her actions but she’s very intelligent and beautiful! I don’t think she deserved all the hate she received. And Tyra Banks is definitely a wolf in sheep’s clothing
Tyra seems very dark hearted and her smile makes it worse bc you can definitely see through it. I’m willing to bet the modeling world did a number on her soul and psyche.
Tyra always gave me these self-righteous, "I'm not like those other black women" type of vibes. Even as a kid, I never liked her. I always peeped game. 👀
I admire her for what she did. No one really talks about what it's like to be a black video vixen and how video vixens get treated in the industry. I honestly do think her intentions were to warn young women about the business of being a video vixen and she should've been appreciated a lot more for her contribution. Also, Tyra really is disgusting for trying to make her seem like the angry black woman in the situation. You mad cause your man at the time got called out. I would've READ Tyra the minute she tried to do that. Much love for Karrine and glad she's doing really well in life
She admitted her intentions, she needed money, and the dudes she was banging didn't give it to her. Had she gotten what she wanted, the book wouldn't have been written. She's not a hero.
I don't care what anyone says, I have a lot of respect for Karrine Steffans especially for the way that she was able to turn such a negative situation into a positive for both herself and her son. Tyra continues to prove time and time again how problematic she is
Tyra also shamed a model to her face for doing a photoshoot job with playboy prior to auditioning for top model, so I definitely get the sense she has some “holier than thou” opinions.
When a radio host called her a snitch and she asked why it's switching when she did it but different when men get in a studio and do it.....was EVERYTHING. Tyra's interview infuriated me
People want to draaaag her for that book. They want to call it snitching but they forget one thing... IT'S HER BUSINESS TO TELL!! If those celebs didn't want their dirt sprayed they should've steered clear of her.
I think Karrine’s life story shows how we as black women have so many options now. As a group, we’re the most educated, in the USA. We have come such a long way, since the 80/90s, when video vixens was a thing. Black women need to keep striving. We don’t have to use our “sexuality”, as Karine says to be successful in life. So many of the video vixens came from a history of childhood neglect and sexual abuse. We have neglected our black girls. We have to protect our black girls so that they don’t experience what Karine had to go through. Her life was horrific!
I think she did it for HER but did y'all notice NOBODY sent her to court. That alone let me know this shit happened and if they were to sue they would have to divulge information they never wanted the public to know.
@@LyricalXilence that's what I always say, if you are SO TRUTHFULLY victimized and taken advantage of by someone(s) and want them held accountable... Take Them to Court. But, do it BEFORE you ask them for additional money after having already receiving five digit payments and blowing it!!
Karrine was so intelligent even back during her video vixen days. What she did was pioneering, admirable, and we owe her an apology. What I love is how she stood behind what she did and never apologized for telling HER truth and her story. That’s an extremely dangerous thing for a black woman to do and to this day Karrine deserves way more props than she’s received for doing it and coming out on the other end
@@CandieP Melissa Ford was no angel. She was doing the same thing superh**d was doing. The difference is that Melissa Ford didn’t write a book. All those video vixens back in the day were getting pipped out by so many rappers. If you think otherwise, you’re delusional. Search Melissa ford and sisqo using the UA-cam search engine and you’ll find a 7:26 video clip. The two aforementioned names are obviously in the video as well as another popular video vixen Gloria Velez. Listen to Gloria and watch Melissa’s body language. You’ll see/hear that I’m not speculating.
I wrote an essay about Karrine in college lol. I think a lot of the other video vixens were just upset bc they didn’t think to do it first! Hip hop is an industry that has always seen women as disposable (especially when it comes to the videos). Karrine turned the tables on them and found a way to have her name lingering long after she left the set. I don’t necessarily agree with her actions, but I do think it was very profitable (bc people are nosy), marketed well, and IMO opened the door for shows like LHH bc people wanted to know more about hip hop stars lives behind the scenes.
Yes! & whether we agree with her actions or not,she paved the way for these other chicks tryna write memoirs of dudes they been with in the industry: Carmen Bryan,Winter Ramos,Brittany Renner etc.
I agree, if they could of they would of but I don’t think many of them were thinking of an exposé of any kind they were focused on getting chosen or getting out of that lifestyle all together.
and everytime they say shes giving us a bad rep but even in her book she said most girls had boyfriends and were in school they didn't talk to the rappers she was the only one that did. '
*Baby, the Tyra interview really showed me how much internalized misogyny she has. I don't care what the other people said to her, you do not have to add. I hate it when ppl get to a certain level of success & become out of touch. These men pursued her & with wedding ring in tow.*
Tyra is disgusting. She is an embarrassment to women. Not that I am condoning Karrine's lifestyle but Tyra attacked this woman because of her own personal insecurities instead of doing her job.
I remember reading this book 10 years ago. It was a good book and it confirmed what I already thought about half the rappers that were named but it taught me one thing, never expect loyalty from people you're not emotionally involved with. Also it's not f****** snitching nobody was going to jail for having sex with her, you might some divorces probablybut nobody was going to prison.
@@marcelrobinson That answers neither question and makes a third 1. What thought/assumption of yours did you feel confirmed and how? 2. Repeat of#2 - If 'Yes' put yes, please -If 'No' put no, and 3. Enlighten me/express yourself please
@@wesleyreese7647 1. Rappers expect loyalty from the same women they call hoes. 2. There are no friends in business, so only thing anyone should be loyal to is a contract clause.
@@marcelrobinson So, do I understand correctly? 1. U thot that 'rappers' Expected loyalty from HOES? and that they shouldn't? 2. SHE confirmed BOTH for you? I reference the difference in business and friends because... She stated that none of the friends who gave me nine to $10,000 would help me anymore. I figured any amounts involving commas a business deal!!
As much as these men like to blame her for “snitching”, I bet they were still pursuing. She filmed Bobby Brown sleeping on her sofa long after the release of her book. What was he doing there after calling her a liar?
Yup. The same way they trash Celina Powell and still continue to sleep with her, you can’t these bottom of the barrel men serous EVER! They all deserve to be used and played
Lol don’t forget Britney Renner too! She wrote a book similar to what Karine did, but about athletes. And they still pursue her, she recently had a baby with one. They drag her but still chase her 🤣
@@iaintmadatcha y’all still mad 🤣 she has spoken at colleges and wrote books I respect anyone who can turn their life around. She was extremely young when she made these mistakes (we all make mistakes). No grace and mercy for anyone these days. No one was endorsing her escapades they have respect for her after she turned her life around. You’re too blind and critical to see that.
I respect her honesty. People especially other women wanted her to hate herself and be embarrassed or ashamed but she wasn't!! They hated her for it and once again the men were protected while she was villainized
I remember Tyra interviewing Karrine and Tyra sounded like a bitter pick me whose man left her for Karrine. I believe Tyra was intimidated by Karrine. Tyra can't talk about Naomi treated her when Tyra treated Karrine like crap too. Karrine handled the interview well, but you can tell she was pissed at Tyra. I don't blame her.
Exactly! Honestly, I don’t feel like she’s been straight forward with the whole Naomi story either. Let’s be clear, Tyra ain’t fooling no one. She wasn’t a complete victim.
Tyra didn't expect Karrine to be so well spoken and intelligent. I guess she should have learned to never judge a book by it's cover. It was great to see Karrine keep her composure 👏🏽✨
I remember sneaking and stealing this book from my aunt. Stayed up reading it all night 😂 so good. Her life was so tragic, I’m glad she’s doing well in life🙏🏾So beautiful and strong💛
I could read “Confessions Of A Video Vixen” a thousand times it was such a good read despite the negativity that came behind it. It taught me so much as a young girl on what not to do and how the small things I was going through was nothing compared to what I could’ve gone through had I not had a great support system. Side note: Is it me or does the narrator’s voice sound a lot like Karrine’s voice 🤣😂😂😂👀
Lol. "Problematic". Times will always change. It goes back and forth, back and forth. I'm sure in 20yrs from now your own kids will call you "problematic" because of your opinions or stances of today.
She has every right to share her story her life... Hollywood full of shameful secrets... Happy she wrote her story she was not sued for naming names... That tells me there is a lot of truth. Her truth! her courage speaks volumes. Tyra was ice cold.
I wonder if the likes of lira, miracle, tori and the other hot ig girls will ever attempt this or something on a greater scale. I’m sure they have stories we wouldn’t believe. Especially Lira.
That chick was an innovator and no one wants to say it bdcause of their internalized misogyny. She exposed dudes for their bull before me too was a thang. Yall better give that woman her flowers...
Oh yeah I forgot about Dubai. I truly believe that’s how those girls get the bulk of their money. Bc what current videos are they in? There is no more market for the skin magazines like the mid 2000s.
Karrine is so smart! I loved hearing the clips of her speaking her truth and defending herself, shes a true icon for feminism especailly for black women! You love to see it!!!
It was NOT Kerrin's responsibility to protect these men. Especially since they completely exploited her as well. She was complicit in her part, as they were in theirs. They need to be mad at themselves for doing it, not her for telling it. She's allowed to tell her life story. Those acts with those men were part of her life, therefore part of her story. Period! 🤷🏿♀️👏🏾
They always wanna do dirt, but never want anyone to mention it. Kind of like a person who steals, but get mad when people bring it up and call them a thief.
@@supwhatsupdudes who said anyone had to. 😕 Still doesn't change the fact that those males used and took advantage of a woman who had already been abused when she was a child...then on top of it they had the audacity to try and quiet her because they didn't want anyone to know what they did. That sounds suspiciously predatory. Why didn't they want anyone to know....they didn't mind telling people about her being a superhead? Especially since most of their girlfriends and wives already knew what was going. Snoop dogg's wife even had her phone number, and sometimes when she couldn't find him, she would call Karinne and ask was he there with her.😑 Given what Karinne went through when she was young, like a lot young girls have experienced or worse, and then found herself in those circumstances, a lot of people would feel bad for her.
Correct. at the end of the day you can't take her down. It's not like she was some role model to knock off of a pedestal. She never presented herself as anything other than trash so what can anyone say or do? she is exposing herself and isn't ashamed. Furthermore, she made a point of saying "I didn't tell everything." in other words, don't press your luck.
Bobby knew that she got the receipt of him cheating with her while He was still married with Whitney, so he's better shut up. These married men are so ridiculous 🙄
Theres 2 wolves in sheeps clothing in this video...yall dont do research. Supa head talked so much trash about dark skins you would have thought she was racist lmaoooo Stop thinking all bw are your sisters, blk men do that stuff too. We both have to stop and figured out who is it we're really watching.
I believe Tyra has identity issues, or at least used to, especially when it comes to being black. Not even a critique just something I've theorized observing her all these years cuz her actions seems to reflect that
That woman was ahead of her time! She was absolutely destroyed in the media when she was the one that violated over and over again. She took sexual control of her life and was so disrespected especially by other women caping for men.
I always felt bad for her after reading about her upbringing and felt that she was misguided and really needed to recover from her trauma. A lot of people who go into promiscuous/sexually fueled lifestyles and careers (and toxic relationships) have dealt with abuse and trauma in their past or even in the present but nowadays we're told to ignore this fact to be more PC and not to shame anybody or whatever. It's one thing to look down on/degrade ppl for what they do but it's another to condone mentally and physically harmful behavior
that’s actually a misconception. the majority of people that go into sex work are usually the most educated and well adjusted. it’s the stigma and shame from other people that causes the trauma in their lives. are there some who do go into the work having trauma or possibly as a result? of course, just like any other occupation.
@Tasyaus Norseman because not everyone has continous shame over their past. im a sex worker and have experienced trauma before, like alot of people have. why should i continue to carry around shame and judgement? i'm sexually liberated, make good money, stay away from pimps & drugs, and do well for myself. not everyones trauma manifests the same way and to discount womens personal decisions for themselves bc they had a troubled past is just.. internalized misogyny. just because you'd never do it means nothing to other people. trauma is way too complex and nuanced. when i work, im not thinking about stuff that happened 15 yrs ago. im focusing on entertaining my clients, making money, and having fun lol. liiike its not that deep
It doesn’t matter what her intentions were. She changed the work place for video models for the better by telling her story. She also brought more awareness to young women headed in the wrong direction. I am glad to hear that she appears to be less ethno-centric in her more recent talks. She continues to grow and to thrive because despite her young experiences she has always been a diamond.
Karrine is a brilliant woman for starters. No shock that the dusty degrading rap community attacked her. I also see miss “Ex machina” Tyra has always been a pick me. I really hope Karrine is at peace now, she deserves it 💜
@@supwhatsupdudes Right lol they love reversing it n calling a man nasty if he messes with a bunch of nasty woman. The truth is Alot of these woman capping for her wish or would've loved to get a taste of that lifestyle
yeaaaars ago, i went into my older brother's room and found his copy of her autobiography. i read that book front to BACK it was so dang good! can't wait to watch this!
I think she dedicated the book to her son because they both went through so much together and the book highlights some of that. Writing is therapeutic and she may have used the book as healing their trauma bonds.
I don't get why people were giving her such a hard time. She had already been through enough honestly. And Tyra... she has her right to react however way but to treat someone like that on live TV specially somebody that had already been dragged by the media. And why would she want to protect men that hurt her?
Tyra asked tough questions and KS handled it very well! Looking back compared to now, nothing can be hid, with all these social media platforms everyone is spilling tea, including people telling on themselves! Thanks KS!
A lot of bw are bm identified and have internal misogyny. Unfortunately, the bar is set tremendously low for bm while bw are usually not given an ounce of grace for their shortcomings.
@Jordan Eady right and correct me if I’m wrong she and homeboy weren’t even together so why do all that on tv? Have a convo offline. That was so cold. Then to further agitate the woman by saying “oooh you are so ate up right now” or whatever she said. How tacky.
Im so happy she wrote this book!!! She talked about women and shame like we should always feel SHAME when we should not feel shame .. I’m glad it helped her heal🥰
Karrine exposed the industry when many women were afraid to. Look at how these celebrities are being exposed now. What's done in the dark, comes to the light.
I have nothing but admiration for her. The misogyny of these men of color who get off on giving themselves a hypersexual image, surrounding themselves with hundreds of women as naked as they can get away with, bragging about how they play women essentially - then attacking HER for doing the same thing...it's fear, pure and simple. They're threatened. As much as any old white guy is threatened by THEM. It's sad. NO ONE has the right to judge another person for using whatever they have to make a better life for themselves. You'd think if anyone knew that, it would be these rappers. Until we do better as a society and don't allow women to be locked into bad situations from the beginning, they have the right to do what they need to do to get out of those bad situations. And Tyra, yikes, she has her own issues . As many times I've seen her shame women of color for their sexuality, she might as well just go join the Daughters of the Confederacy.
I couldnt believe she said that. I woulda said, " No more than probably how you felt when you saw your man's name in the book" Tyra's a Sagg and Sagg women can say some shit that will piss you off. You gotta stay ready to hit them back with your mouth. Karrine wasnt ready for her that day.
She may have wanted to warn young girls about the bad side of being a video vixen but I believe a lot of it was due to the fact that she was homeless without regular skills to get a job so she had to do what she had to do to keep a roof over her and her son's head; none of this hurt any of those rappers, their names didn't become mudd but hers did! They used the he'll out of her and dissed her so that is why I'm no hatin!😌
Karrine is very strong and she is right about not being ashamed of your life. That's power right there! She may have made some wrong decisions but I am glad she learnt from them.
@@womanist_musings Exactly. Why do it for free and get Nothing out of it? If you’re going to choose that path in life, might as well get paid hefty for it. 🤷🏾♀️
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣GIRL!!!!! The absolute worst my word. She might’ve understood her sexuality but she doesnt understand business or money. Seems like she was going in cycles towards her later life🤨
She gets called out once or twice a year and then nothing else happens. I guess, at best, it’s good she’s not doing ANTM anymore and it’s good that her mlm failed.
Tyra is evillll, can’t believe this the same woman …this the same Tyra that was crying and trying to get sympathy bcs Naomi intimated her is verbally attacking and using her show to harass her guest…what an unprofessional interview 🤦♀️
I believe that she used writing the book as therapy. Also, why not name names? If you're doing something that you're going to be ashamed of then that's probably a good sign that you shouldn't be doing it.
I’ve never understood why people were more mad at her for snitching than they were mad at the men who were perfectly ok with pimping her out or trying to use her body as a disposable sex you. The men are just mad that their usual typical toxic masculinity and threats to silence women like her didn’t work or phase her 🤷🏾♀️ She’s not anything I’d ever aspire to be, but the trash men she exposed were way bigger evils than her so it’s kinda hard to do anything but respect her hustle that she owned and fesses up to 💅🏾
Easy, just look at how mad people are at R Kelly’s witnesses in court all week. They more upset at them for snitching than at the man who was proven to be a predator on camera and through a real marriage license to a underaged Aaliyah. They will always blame the snitch but NEVER the predator.
People were mad because she participated in a dirty game, willingly, lost and wanted to bring down her accomplices for a payday. She didn't have buyers remorse until she was broke, then it became a problem. She could have cut her losses and got a job like most women. Morally speaking, the men that were married broke their wedding vows but what crimes did they do to her as a grown woman? Did they rape her? NO, I don't think she said that. Did they barter sex for fame and fortune? YES. Did she agree, YES, without hesitation. Her childhood, notwithstanding, she is a victim of her own poor, decision making. It is 2021, she is 43 years old and still talking about who was tryin to "pith" on her. Clearly she still needs help with her victimhood.
She was the ultimate finesser! She had game and actually did it well. Like the old saying says DONT HATE THE PLAYER HATE THE GAME and in this case this truly applies .
I watched this a while ago but rewatching it now, I'm SO deeply drawn to her intelligence and the way she's able to speak with deeper meaning. Specifically her monologue about the art of being a naked black woman. She has a clear understanding of ART and thinking below the surface, always aware of a deeper message within a message. I was disgusted but not unfortunately unfazed at the men in the interviews calling her a snitch, a tramp, a wh/re etc. and I'm happy she brought the message of how women are viewed as rentable objects out at a time where not many people had their ears open. Not many people were able to be enlightened as easy as they are now with access to a wider database. THANK YOU FOR THIS 😘🥰
If we’re going to re-examine & reposition how we view women’s (especially young women’s) media coverage from the late 90s early Oughts, then surely Karinne deserves the same respect. If we can now acknowledge how Britney, Lindsay or Jessica were marginalised & disrespected, surely the Video Vixen deserves her redemption arc as well? 🤨
I wholeheartedly agree. When it comes to all these women there should always be room for all of us to have understanding, compassion, and to be able to walk away with the lessons that their actions teach us
Omg I really relate to her when she said the affects of not having a father can have a girls (especially black girls). Although my father is technically “in my life”, he’s definitely not emotionally available. It’s as if he might as well not even be here. And it really does take a toll on our self esteem and excessive need for attention from guys. And then those girls grow up just to be called tramps and fast. I think this topic should be talked about more because it happens more often than not.
🙌this comment 💕💕 not everyone can understand the real message behind her behavior, only those who had struggled with not feeling loved from our dads can understand the real pain .
I think she wrote the book as an outlet. As a way to help herself, heal from the past and move forward. The warning of other aspiring models I believe came later but this was her initial reason IMO. The publishing company of course will see it as marketable and run with it but I feel as she wrote it with good intentions. Journaling really helps people get through happy, sad and confusing times
This!! I definitely see it as an outlet for her but again to help warn other girls because the stuff she went through was traumatic as hell. I need to read it now!
@@sflachuck She had a story to tell and it was worth getting paid to do it. I know the easy thing to do is to judge her but her book was actually eye-opening. People like to judge her without trying to understand the environment that caused her to think she has to sell herself to survive. Her story made people see those anonymous girls in videos as somebody's mother or daughter and made you reflect on a culture that objectifies women. Like her or not she is genuine. Also, all the men she "exposed" are doing fine. Her story did not affect their career at all.
@@rommieyay4444 in the Tyra interview she said she went back to some of them to get back on her feet, she played the facade for financial gain and I'm not mad at her for it.
Tyra's internalized misogyny strikes again, so pathetic. I think Karrine has every right to pen her memoir and tell her story, at the end of the day if those men don't see what they did as something wrong, that's their problem
Wow she was very young. As a grown 40+ year old woman now im happy to see her evolve. I believe her intentions were good when writing the first book based off of who she is today.
Looking at this in light of everything going on with R Kelly and knowing that what she wrote about was during the same time frame. I have so much more respect about what she did now. She was the first to speak up about misogyny and mistreatment. Whether she did that to be vindictive, I don't know. But she spoke up.
Tyra Banks was wrong for how she talked to Karrine Steffans but i also kind of wonder if anyone at the company told Tyra to be extra rude to Karrine just to cover up for the men who Karrine exposed
@@MJAYMONONOKE If that is the truth I can understand that. One must be professional tho and while watching that episode I didn't necessarily think that she was being rude, just maybe disgusted. Tyra comes across like she prides herself on being a "well put together" "black" woman and is being a good example. I am sure tho if u asked Tyra about that today she'd probably say that that was a different time. Lol. I feel that many would say that. Damn near 20 years ago, back then we didn;t have "me too" or slut pride or whatever else the youth cook up for their little "revolution". BTW, I have always thought that Tyra Banks was corny as hell. And never saw her as a "Supermodel" until she crowned herself that with ANTM. I loved that show so much in the early seasons. I went to sleep many a night praying that I'd wake up looking all good and go be a supermodel. 😭.
I have A LOT of RESPECT for her! It’s her story and she wanted to tell it! All of us have a story! Take the me too movement those people are telling their story! Just like with anything in life, think about things that you’re doing if you don’t want to be exposed!
She owns her truth and she refused to be shamed and I respect that. I remember reading her book cover to cover when I was a 16 year old aspiring video model.
_The real tea is Tyra was dating one of the men that was named in Karrine's book. That's why she was so pressed about her "naming names."_
Yes I heard this as well. What was the guy’s name tho? Do you know?
Do you know if she was seeing the guy at the same time as Tyra? If so, that explains her attitude, though it doesn't excuse it. That was an unprofessional interview.
True
Karine should’ve asked Tyra which one of them in my book were are you f#%king at the time and just start laughing 😂
@@beemocha Chris Webber
That comment Tyra made about Karrine and her son freezing to death in a car was low and cold hearted even for her...
Exactly, that was wild 😟
Now that I’m older I’m realizing just how mean spirited Tyra was.
She was asking her a question you acting like she was teasing her
@@tgirl1762 It was they way how she asked it. Why highlight the pain a child has to go through just to hurt their mom?
@@tgirl1762 She was teasing her about how hard her life had gotten it was just wrapped up as a passive aggressive question. But I would only expect self aware people to see that so this thread aint for you boo :)
The way Tyra jumped down her throat was uncalled for. Clearly someone she dated was mentioned in the book. She should have kept that same energy when she was being “bullied” to tears by Naomi back in the day.
Tyra is no different. Pot meet kettle.
I can't stand Tyra anyway, the way she treated the black women on ANTM was terrible, and she was being a betch to Karrine, cutting her off and everything.
Yall jealous asl💀. Only a th0t would rather look up to another th0t vs a SUCCESSFUL millionaire that made her riches off of talent instead of 🍆
@Ms. B Yep and she decided to be ignorant and petty by trying to bully her on tv because she knew she had everyone including the audience on her side but she scared of Naomi because she knows Naomi gonna give her two lumps 👊🏾👊🏾if she get smart 🤣like that just like when she yelled at that girl on Antm because she started crying I would’ve flipped tables had it been me 🤷🏾♀️
Tyra...people don't like her or even talk about her now. She has showed her true colors over the years
Karrine Steffans is absolutely right she was put down as a black woman for exploiting herself while Kim Kardashian doing the same thing and barely gets hate.
THEN DON"T EXPLOIT YOURSELF! This isn't anything new!
Whats wierd is now those chicks are Americas sweethearts and are soo revered in the media!
Right
You know the thing about these Kardashians that no one has ever touched on but the two plus two that will equal four is out there but because of their race no one has ever touched it and so obvious. Kris Jenner and her attorney husband Rob Kardashian senior or the culprits in the murder of OJ's wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her at that time knew boo returning the sunglasses was a setup between the 33rd degree Free Mason Eastern, Kris Jenner and her husband attorney Rob Kardashian senior pulled off that lick because OJ said he had sex with Chris in the indoor pool in his basement while Rob Kardashian senior and OJ's wife had left the pool and gone upstairs. OJ said he pulled down his swim trunks and Chris's eyes but after the two had sex OJ said Chris realized her vagina had been injured and asked OJ to take her to the hospital but he refused and told Chris to have Robert Sr take her to the emergency room which he did. Now, since OJ and what I've seen your were allegedly friends and after Rob seen you realize that his friend OJ had broke his wife's back as OJ called it Rob senior was extremely upset and decided it was time for him to get some back door from OJ and this is how the murder was set up and how the situation occurred and let us not forget the police officer who became involved who was also known to Rob Kardashian but not to OJ. I do not believe OJ killed his wife and her new lover Goldman I do believe Kris Jenner who is the most treacherous liar, the most devious satanic Free Mason Eastern Star 33rd degree as were all of her daughters involved in the young girl part of the Freemasons, Kris Jenner and her husband Rob Kardashian senior pulled off that murder, hit that lick just to get revenge because of the disrespect of OJ when he hit the back of that vaginal area of Kris Jenner's and broke that back. I say let's get it let's get it let's get it all day and Chris you already know it is not allegedly how the public feels about you your eyes are the window to the soul and dirt equals dirt equals dirty equals dirtier equals the dirty ass all day long 24/7 every day! So, Kris Jenner do your thing because whatever happens in the dark will come to light and those that did not know will eventually know you are a satanic worshiping Freemason Oregon selling Eastern Star money maker. Kris Jenner your day is coming may you be blessed by the Father in heaven to the highest degree when that day the fiery pit is opened and all of the fame and fortune you accumulated cannot be taken with you your time is up!!
She got and gets lots of hate.
I remember when her book came out, the media was vicious towards her! That Tyra interview was just nasty to watch. Hoping karrine has a successful future
Hey Bailey! Love your channel! 😍😘😘
Tyra is just something else.
Only Bailey can out her one day in the classiest way possible

And accountability
@@gypsygross4503 👏🏾👏🏾
It actually says where her mind is at now tht she realizes the outcome in my opinion
If this book came out today no one would even batt an eyelash. She was completely ahead of her time and people hated her for what she did because they were just naive. I wish her 1000 years of success.
Brittany Renner literally has a similar book and no one cares lol. Karrine really paved the way
You are absolutely right no one would pay attention because the devil, the illuminati, these Satanist s have put so much of this disgusting behavior in our faces that have caused us to be used to seeing this sort of pervert behavior it would be nothing different because society has pretty much gotten used to this behavior being common place. Sad AF! To God be the glory amen amen and amen
Amen

Yup! She truly paved the way!!
Tyra is such a hateful person, before I didn’t see it but I see it now, she made a career out of berating black women
@StephanieDotDot samee
Its crazy, i loved her back in the 90s and early 00s...but then I realized she problematic AF
@@stephanie6676 AF
Tyra was telling the truth tho 🤷🏾♂️
Tyra obviously hated being black and wouldn't make it that apparent in her shows by "empowering" black women. Now that it's cool, she's trying to make it seem that she's some kind of pioneer for black power, especially in ANTM.
“Karrine” opening statement confirming pretty privilege, I love it! One thing you have to respect is the fact that she’s straight up about hers. She’s definitely an observer and she expresses herself eloquently especially today.
That ain't no damn flex. What's wrong with you. She exchanged sex for money. That's a call girl without a pimp.
urtheboss1-because at least she is upfront with what she’s doing and not trying to hide it. There’s so many people who pretend to be so self-righteous, who literally do the same thing. I respect people who are transparent like this. That way I know what I’m getting.
@@twistedfenderchickBeing up front doesn't make it less egregious! Smh!
@@urtheboss1how many women out there giving it up for free and don’t even get a dinner date?
It's messed up how men were calling her names for talking about her sexual experiences with them but men go around talking about women all the time everybody wants to protect the black men but not the women
🗣
It be the same men who can’t stand Cardi B, Megan, Saweetie, City Girls rap style but uplift the male rappers who talk about 💦 in women’s faces, degrading them, pouring gin and juice on them etc. what’s good for the goose is good for the gander.
How about everyone keep their bedroom escapades in their bedroom. People wanna put all their business out in the streets and at the same time be sensitive about being judged. Make that make sense
@@ladyyananumber1200 sex sells unfortunately
@@ladyyananumber1200 Tell that to all the rappers and male entertainers who tell their “bedroom business” first. When they stop, maybe women will follow suit.
When Tyra said “you’re dying inside aren’t you?” with that smirk on her face I would have read her for filth in the most eloquent way if I were Karrine. Tyra just wanted to make a fool out orf the girl because she was with someone that Tyra was supposed to be dating at the time. Smh…
Yep, and that "someone" was basketball star Chris Webber.

😳 dang I didn't know that tea... But they know those guys are all out whores... They just got mad cuz she outted em... Sad folk out here... And Tyra is just ugh... I was rooting for her but now, nah... She's a mean girl and this wasn't to only time she shows that
@@TheLyric7 yeah I don't fuck with Tyra anymore either. She tried to destroy Naomi Campbell but couldn't because she's still modeling and Tyra's hosting. Models usually retire at Naomi's age but not Naomi. She got the best walk anyway.
@@TheCoachRC Oooooohhh ok so that’s Y she tried it the way she did. I kinda figured it was someone she’d have a history or something with. Tyra did seem to take this girl’s story personal. It all makes sense…
If those men weren’t behaving badly, they’d be nothing to expose, sooooo 🤷🏾♀
She’s only getting stuck because she took a hold of her life and sorted herself out and didn’t play victim. I admire people who have been living a wrong and sinful life, yet still get themselves out of it and repent. Although the 10 years after the book sound just as messy! 😬. I hope she has finally moved away from the bad life.
Honestly, I dont think it even matters why she wrote the book. These things happened to her and if she wants to tell the story that's her business whatever the motive or reason. Everyone is pressed and wondering why she would name names, but why isn't the immediate focus, how could people treat another human the way they treated her? And I've read all her books, she is very open and honest about all the pain she experienced as well as the pain she inflicted on herself, her son and other people in her life. She takes full accountability for the situations she found herself in, but many of the horrible things that happen to Karrine was and continues to be the product of hip-hop culture and the toxicity that surrounds not only the music industry but also the Black community.
very well said! 👏
The only thing that's toxic is people lack of integrity. People always talking about toxicity but constantly perpetuate the same behavior. People should learned from the previous generation but no they're not. In the near future things that happening now will repeat because no one is learning from the past.
Amen!!! As a feminine male myself who has been disgustingly sexualized/objectified by masculine men for no reason at all…the times when I would post screenshots/photos of the closeted men mistreating me, I would have women AND men bashing me for revealing them!

@@Racism-n3j America is indeed a corporation, aka free market capitalism. Which is indeed rooted in religious patriarchy. Compared to many of the white women who often exaggerate such claims or lie, it’s obvious Karrine is telling the truth. What does your unnecessary comment have to do with this video?
I don’t agree with all of her actions but she’s very intelligent and beautiful! I don’t think she deserved all the hate she received. And Tyra Banks is definitely a wolf in sheep’s clothing
I definitely agree! Tyra Banks was a Wolf in Sheep's clothing.
Tyra seems very dark hearted and her smile makes it worse bc you can definitely see through it. I’m willing to bet the modeling world did a number on her soul and psyche.
Tyra wouldn’t get underneath her skin and I LOVEEEEEDDDDDD IT😌
Tyra always gave me these self-righteous, "I'm not like those other black women" type of vibes. Even as a kid, I never liked her. I always peeped game. 👀
Pure facts 💯
I admire her for what she did. No one really talks about what it's like to be a black video vixen and how video vixens get treated in the industry. I honestly do think her intentions were to warn young women about the business of being a video vixen and she should've been appreciated a lot more for her contribution. Also, Tyra really is disgusting for trying to make her seem like the angry black woman in the situation. You mad cause your man at the time got called out. I would've READ Tyra the minute she tried to do that. Much love for Karrine and glad she's doing really well in life
She admitted her intentions, she needed money, and the dudes she was banging didn't give it to her. Had she gotten what she wanted, the book wouldn't have been written. She's not a hero.
Why would anybody care to speak about a black video ho ???🤡🤡
who was her man?
She was definitely trying to warn them about all the fun she had.
@@veebeelieve Chris Webber
I don't care what anyone says, I have a lot of respect for Karrine Steffans especially for the way that she was able to turn such a negative situation into a positive for both herself and her son. Tyra continues to prove time and time again how problematic she is
Yes! I believe Naomi, tyra was the bully and problem all along! She throws rocks and hides her big hands
yes what tyra did to karrine was not good she judged her harshly not cool
Yes and continue to play victim! So many people have nothing but bad things to say about her, including supermodels that was teaching.
Lol really used her body to exploit men then when she no longer wanted to have a good time wondered why men didn't want to give her money.
I knew Tyra was problematic since ANTM. I agree on the points about Karrine, we are judged by double standards.
Tyra also shamed a model to her face for doing a photoshoot job with playboy prior to auditioning for top model, so I definitely get the sense she has some “holier than thou” opinions.
Tyra isn't attractive or a nice person generally and is extremely judgemental.
Tyra also has some allegations for sleeping with photographers and people for runway gigs. 🙃
@@M00nst0ne so that's why karrine kept saying not Tyra of all people
I’ve heard Tyra has a bad attitude.
right? the irony a vs model who openly admits to cashing in on her assets would shame another woman for cashing in on her assets
She warned my generation for sure. I'm grateful it came out when it did because the lifestyle looked just glamorous prior.

Exactly
@@daneaspeaks6499 exactly. Men violate women by exposing the business all the time with no regards to how the woman will feel
Okay!! 👌🏼
Right...and if theyre so concerned with snitching how about they stay faithful to their wives/girlfriends.
I think Karrine’s life story shows how we as black women have so many options now. As a group, we’re the most educated, in the USA. We have come such a long way, since the 80/90s, when video vixens was a thing. Black women need to keep striving. We don’t have to use our “sexuality”, as Karine says to be successful in life. So many of the video vixens came from a history of childhood neglect and sexual abuse. We have neglected our black girls. We have to protect our black girls so that they don’t experience what Karine had to go through. Her life was horrific!
Accountability. Take accountability for your actions and decisions. Let ho be a ho.
😐😐😐😐.... Yes because we are all going through the exact same things on the exact same path....
I think she did it for HER but did y'all notice NOBODY sent her to court. That alone let me know this shit happened and if they were to sue they would have to divulge information they never wanted the public to know.
That's what I always say. If it's a lie take em to court, even if you lose put the objections on record for anyone to see.

People hate Kim Kartrashian. She was able to flip her infamy into a multimillion dollar career. Karrine was too shortsighted or lazy to do it.
Karrine was so intelligent even back during her video vixen days. What she did was pioneering, admirable, and we owe her an apology. What I love is how she stood behind what she did and never apologized for telling HER truth and her story. That’s an extremely dangerous thing for a black woman to do and to this day Karrine deserves way more props than she’s received for doing it and coming out on the other end
Maya Angelou and Toni Morrison, were pioneers, KS was, and still is a prostitute.
I’m glad she told her story. So young women can see a cautionary side of “the game”
If I were in that industry, I'd just do what I'm already doing at my current job: show up, make the money and go home. Screw socializing.
@@M00nst0ne that’s what Melissa Ford did.
@@CandieP Melissa Ford was no angel. She was doing the same thing superh**d was doing. The difference is that Melissa Ford didn’t write a book. All those video vixens back in the day were getting pipped out by so many rappers. If you think otherwise, you’re delusional.
Search Melissa ford and sisqo using the UA-cam search engine and you’ll find a 7:26 video clip. The two aforementioned names are obviously in the video as well as another popular video vixen Gloria Velez. Listen to Gloria and watch Melissa’s body language. You’ll see/hear that I’m not speculating.
The modern day vixens most likely don't even know who she is let alone the songs that she was in the video for
Well I don't think it will help. IG and Only Fans "models" think that is still the life
I wrote an essay about Karrine in college lol. I think a lot of the other video vixens were just upset bc they didn’t think to do it first!
Hip hop is an industry that has always seen women as disposable (especially when it comes to the videos). Karrine turned the tables on them and found a way to have her name lingering long after she left the set. I don’t necessarily agree with her actions, but I do think it was very profitable (bc people are nosy), marketed well, and IMO opened the door for shows like LHH bc people wanted to know more about hip hop stars lives behind the scenes.
Yes! & whether we agree with her actions or not,she paved the way for these other chicks tryna write memoirs of dudes they been with in the industry: Carmen Bryan,Winter Ramos,Brittany Renner etc.
I agree, if they could of they would of but I don’t think many of them were thinking of an exposé of any kind they were focused on getting chosen or getting out of that lifestyle all together.
Omg my friends and I did a group project on her book in one of my 2nd year women studies classes. I thank her cause we got an A+
BINGO. Everything you said is accurate
and everytime they say shes giving us a bad rep but even in her book she said most girls had boyfriends and were in school they didn't talk to the rappers she was the only one that did. '
*Baby, the Tyra interview really showed me how much internalized misogyny she has. I don't care what the other people said to her, you do not have to add. I hate it when ppl get to a certain level of success & become out of touch. These men pursued her & with wedding ring in tow.*

I’ve noticed Tyra had a habit of doing that. She has always attacked other women due to her own personal insecurities.
Tyra is an embarrassment to women? Let's not get crazy. At the time NOBODY backed Karrine as a person and felt her book was tacky (but good gossip)
I remember reading this book 10 years ago. It was a good book and it confirmed what I already thought about half the rappers that were named but it taught me one thing, never expect loyalty from people you're not emotionally involved with.
Also it's not f****** snitching nobody was going to jail for having sex with her, you might some divorces probablybut nobody was going to prison.

I wonder if the likes of lira, miracle, tori and the other hot ig girls will ever attempt this or something on a greater scale. I’m sure they have stories we wouldn’t believe. Especially Lira.
That chick was an innovator and no one wants to say it bdcause of their internalized misogyny.
She exposed dudes for their bull before me too was a thang. Yall better give that woman her flowers...
Can’t wait to hear all there stories as well. Do tell ladies, no holding back
Oh yeah I forgot about Dubai. I truly believe that’s how those girls get the bulk of their money. Bc what current videos are they in? There is no more market for the skin magazines like the mid 2000s.
The grace that we gave Tyra Forehead Banks in the earlier 2000s is unbelievable
😆
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lmaooooo 😂😂
A fair phillips lightbulb!!!!! Or maybe even a pear!
😆😆😆😆
Karrine is so smart! I loved hearing the clips of her speaking her truth and defending herself, shes a true icon for feminism especailly for black women! You love to see it!!!
It was NOT Kerrin's responsibility to protect these men. Especially since they completely exploited her as well. She was complicit in her part, as they were in theirs. They need to be mad at themselves for doing it, not her for telling it. She's allowed to tell her life story. Those acts with those men were part of her life, therefore part of her story. Period! 🤷🏿♀️👏🏾
They always wanna do dirt, but never want anyone to mention it.
Kind of like a person who steals, but get mad when people bring it up and call them a thief.
And she allowed them to abuse her so I don't feel bad about it.
@@supwhatsupdudes who said anyone had to. 😕
Still doesn't change the fact that those males used and took advantage of a woman who had already been abused when she was a child...then on top of it they had the audacity to try and quiet her because they didn't want anyone to know what they did. That sounds suspiciously predatory.
Why didn't they want anyone to know....they didn't mind telling people about her being a superhead? Especially since most of their girlfriends and wives already knew what was going. Snoop dogg's wife even had her phone number, and sometimes when she couldn't find him, she would call Karinne and ask was he there with her.😑
Given what Karinne went through when she was young, like a lot young girls have experienced or worse, and then found herself in those circumstances, a lot of people would feel bad for her.
@@GoaWay... when you weaponize your femininity it becomes a doubled-edged sword.
Agreed
Bobby better be glad he decided to “just leave her alone.” He knew suing her would be futile because she has so many receipts on him!
Lol he should’ve never opened his big mouth in the first place. That “just leave her alone” spoke volumes 😅 he snitched on himself.
Correct. at the end of the day you can't take her down. It's not like she was some role model to knock off of a pedestal. She never presented herself as anything other than trash so what can anyone say or do? she is exposing herself and isn't ashamed. Furthermore, she made a point of saying "I didn't tell everything." in other words, don't press your luck.
She was holding that bum azz nigga down in the later years. When they showed him sleep on the couch, she taped that and that was her couch.
Bobby knew that she got the receipt of him cheating with her while He was still married with Whitney, so he's better shut up. These married men are so ridiculous 🙄
I have nothing but RESPECT for Karrine 💛
Tyra is such a wolf in sheep’s clothing. She’s done a lot of stuff to harm black women
Yes smh..then got the nerve to be a Karen & cry talkin bout Naomi Campbell bullied her
Tyra is who she wanted us to believe Naomi really is.
@@eboniec9535 THISSS
Theres 2 wolves in sheeps clothing in this video...yall dont do research. Supa head talked so much trash about dark skins you would have thought she was racist lmaoooo Stop thinking all bw are your sisters, blk men do that stuff too. We both have to stop and figured out who is it we're really watching.
I believe Tyra has identity issues, or at least used to, especially when it comes to being black.
Not even a critique just something I've theorized observing her all these years cuz her actions seems to reflect that
i get kinda sad when i watch 2000s music videos because the so many of the women in them were going through it. i hope they all are doing well.
Me too I remember about that too. But he book is amazing. I like her character in book
But they ALL had choices. Not one of them HAD to be in a music video.
There's a video on t hu is channel about some of the video vixens from back then. Most of them seem to be doing well.
@@linedanzer4302 true
@@linedanzer4302 are you trying to change the fact that because it was “a choice” she deserved it?. Disgusting person.
That woman was ahead of her time! She was absolutely destroyed in the media when she was the one that violated over and over again. She took sexual control of her life and was so disrespected especially by other women caping for men.
I love Karrine. She was one of the first celebrities to take the time and email and tweet me when I went thru hard times. She’s a real woman!
Nope. She's a THOT, who took the time out to call u back
I always felt bad for her after reading about her upbringing and felt that she was misguided and really needed to recover from her trauma. A lot of people who go into promiscuous/sexually fueled lifestyles and careers (and toxic relationships) have dealt with abuse and trauma in their past or even in the present but nowadays we're told to ignore this fact to be more PC and not to shame anybody or whatever. It's one thing to look down on/degrade ppl for what they do but it's another to condone mentally and physically harmful behavior
Amen! I can’t agree with this enough.
Well written 💯
that’s actually a misconception. the majority of people that go into sex work are usually the most educated and well adjusted. it’s the stigma and shame from other people that causes the trauma in their lives. are there some who do go into the work having trauma or possibly as a result? of course, just like any other occupation.
Very well said 💯💯
@Tasyaus Norseman because not everyone has continous shame over their past. im a sex worker and have experienced trauma before, like alot of people have. why should i continue to carry around shame and judgement? i'm sexually liberated, make good money, stay away from pimps & drugs, and do well for myself. not everyones trauma manifests the same way and to discount womens personal decisions for themselves bc they had a troubled past is just.. internalized misogyny. just because you'd never do it means nothing to other people. trauma is way too complex and nuanced. when i work, im not thinking about stuff that happened 15 yrs ago. im focusing on entertaining my clients, making money, and having fun lol. liiike its not that deep
It doesn’t matter what her intentions were. She changed the work place for video models for the better by telling her story. She also brought more awareness to young women headed in the wrong direction. I am glad to hear that she appears to be less ethno-centric in her more recent talks. She continues to grow and to thrive because despite her young experiences she has always been a diamond.
Karrine is a brilliant woman for starters. No shock that the dusty degrading rap community attacked her. I also see miss “Ex machina”
Tyra has always been a pick me. I really hope Karrine is at peace now, she deserves it 💜

yeaaaars ago, i went into my older brother's room and found his copy of her autobiography. i read that book front to BACK it was so dang good! can't wait to watch this!
Y’all making me want to get it
@@prestoncalhoun1349 I read it when I was in middle school I’m 26 now😂😂 my mom had it omg it’s a AMAZING read I read it twice
@@jonathandurant1163 no bs I read it in 8th grade after my mom borrowed it from the library 🤣
@@prestoncalhoun1349 you should👌🏿
Why did your brother have it 😂
I think she dedicated the book to her son because they both went through so much together and the book highlights some of that. Writing is therapeutic and she may have used the book as healing their trauma bonds.
I don't get why people were giving her such a hard time. She had already been through enough honestly. And Tyra... she has her right to react however way but to treat someone like that on live TV specially somebody that had already been dragged by the media. And why would she want to protect men that hurt her?
Tyra asked tough questions and KS handled it very well! Looking back compared to now, nothing can be hid, with all these social media platforms everyone is spilling tea, including people telling on themselves! Thanks KS!
A lot of bw are bm identified and have internal misogyny. Unfortunately, the bar is set tremendously low for bm while bw are usually not given an ounce of grace for their shortcomings.
@Jordan Eady right and correct me if I’m wrong she and homeboy weren’t even together so why do all that on tv? Have a convo offline. That was so cold. Then to further agitate the woman by saying “oooh you are so ate up right now” or whatever she said. How tacky.
Tyra has had her multiple allegations of being a woe, I don't know who she's judging...
Karrine even said that she heard some things about what Tyra did to get all those photoshoots and runway gigs. The irony.
Tyra is so messy I see why Naomi treated her that way.. she already knew the type of person Tyra was
Chile, after seeing this as an adult, I agree.
I don’t even think Naomi treated her that way, I don’t even think she acknowledged her when they were modeling in the 90’s.
Im so happy she wrote this book!!! She talked about women and shame like we should always feel SHAME when we should not feel shame .. I’m glad it helped her heal🥰
Every old clip I see of Tyra Banks definitely makes me look at her in another light. She has been bringing black girls down for years.
Tyra said things that were true tho
YEARS SMDH 🤦🏾♀️I was through with her after the way she yelled at Tiffany on top model and I was a little girl then.
You really believe this? Childish...
@@parisjej And what did you learn? I was adult watching it and yes...Tiffany was squandering a huge opportunity Tyra had presented her!
@@sflachuck nope and nope she didn’t talk to any other complaining ass model in that manner 🙄So miss me
Karrine exposed the industry when many women were afraid to. Look at how these celebrities are being exposed now. What's done in the dark, comes to the light.
I have nothing but admiration for her. The misogyny of these men of color who get off on giving themselves a hypersexual image, surrounding themselves with hundreds of women as naked as they can get away with, bragging about how they play women essentially - then attacking HER for doing the same thing...it's fear, pure and simple. They're threatened. As much as any old white guy is threatened by THEM. It's sad. NO ONE has the right to judge another person for using whatever they have to make a better life for themselves. You'd think if anyone knew that, it would be these rappers. Until we do better as a society and don't allow women to be locked into bad situations from the beginning, they have the right to do what they need to do to get out of those bad situations. And Tyra, yikes, she has her own issues . As many times I've seen her shame women of color for their sexuality, she might as well just go join the Daughters of the Confederacy.
I’m glad she wrote a book. She shared her truth and the reality of being a vixen instead of just choosing to glamorize it.
"You're dying inside, aren't you?" Wow. Tyra was just being fucking messy.
I couldnt believe she said that. I woulda said, " No more than probably how you felt when you saw your man's name in the book" Tyra's a Sagg and Sagg women can say some shit that will piss you off. You gotta stay ready to hit them back with your mouth. Karrine wasnt ready for her that day.
She may have wanted to warn young girls about the bad side of being a video vixen but I believe a lot of it was due to the fact that she was homeless without regular skills to get a job so she had to do what she had to do to keep a roof over her and her son's head; none of this hurt any of those rappers, their names didn't become mudd but hers did! They used the he'll out of her and dissed her so that is why I'm no hatin!😌
Tyra was not unbiased. She was mad 😅
Exactly tyra clearly was either with someone in the book at the time or had been in the past lol

Tyra, WTF? I applaud Karrine...when she said this is a book of confessions, which means, NO FILTER, which means BEING HONEST.
Ladies, ALWAYS Stand in YOUR truth ❤️
Karrine is very strong and she is right about not being ashamed of your life. That's power right there! She may have made some wrong decisions but I am glad she learnt from them.
Karrine, did the damn thing. Despite her challenges, she created something great not only for herself but her son. Made something out of Nothing. 🙏🏾♥️
She’s so well spoken and has been through so much I understand her because I’ve been through some of the same shit

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣GIRL!!!!! The absolute worst my word. She might’ve understood her sexuality but she doesnt understand business or money. Seems like she was going in cycles towards her later life🤨
Tyra should be held accountable like Crissy Tigan. She is mean and bias and problematic when it comes to other woman.
Well said my dear.🤔
She gets called out once or twice a year and then nothing else happens. I guess, at best, it’s good she’s not doing ANTM anymore and it’s good that her mlm failed.
I just went to her ig leading the March shame on Tyra
I have so much respect for her !!!!!!!!!!!! I admired her honesty when I was younger. She is everything !
Who is Tyra to judge her? She's not a Saint. She's been all around the industry and we all know that
Tyra has BEEN as hypocrite
Video vixens, models, actresses, etc. Most are on the baller's menu really. Tyra is literally the pot calling the kettle black
Tyra was with Chris weber when karrine was messing with him... she was big mad
@@SunshyneA Now there you have it!
Karrine lowkey read Tyra with a smirk… “miserable, upset & bitter”
@Tiff Talk about it Tyra IISSS toxic
KARRINE WAS AHEAD OF HER TIME..SHE TOLD HER TRUTH AND OWNED IT! I LOVE THIS ERA!
What truth? She was a slore who abused as a child & masked it with showing her sexuality
Tyra is evillll, can’t believe this the same woman …this the same Tyra that was crying and trying to get sympathy bcs Naomi intimated her is verbally attacking and using her show to harass her guest…what an unprofessional interview 🤦♀️
I believe that she used writing the book as therapy. Also, why not name names? If you're doing something that you're going to be ashamed of then that's probably a good sign that you shouldn't be doing it.
Chaunte Smith@ she probably didn’t want to get sued for defamation. Just because it’s true doesn’t mean you have to admit it.
Well they all named her, so as far as I’m concerned they opened the door to be named and spoken on by her too.
All fair in love and war.
I agree. She definitely got healing from writing this book
Exactly 🙌 if they name her in their songs and gave her nick names what's wrong if she wants to tell her story
How is she a feminist? The only woman she looked out for is herself??? Everyone else was collateral damage and she allowed that?? Feminist how???
I think she found her greater purpose through her darkest times
I can't judge her she will always be a beautiful Black Woman ✌🏽
Tyra tried to come for her and FAILED 😌 I loved it “you dying inside aren’t you” if unbothered was a person it would be K.S🙃
I’ve never understood why people were more mad at her for snitching than they were mad at the men who were perfectly ok with pimping her out or trying to use her body as a disposable sex you. The men are just mad that their usual typical toxic masculinity and threats to silence women like her didn’t work or phase her 🤷🏾♀️ She’s not anything I’d ever aspire to be, but the trash men she exposed were way bigger evils than her so it’s kinda hard to do anything but respect her hustle that she owned and fesses up to 💅🏾
Easy, just look at how mad people are at R Kelly’s witnesses in court all week. They more upset at them for snitching than at the man who was proven to be a predator on camera and through a real marriage license to a underaged Aaliyah. They will always blame the snitch but NEVER the predator.
THANK YOU!!
@@CandieP that’s what makes this such a horrible world to live in with such people…I just stay to myself with my son I’m tired of people 😫
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
People were mad because she participated in a dirty game, willingly, lost and wanted to bring down her accomplices for a payday. She didn't have buyers remorse until she was broke, then it became a problem. She could have cut her losses and got a job like most women. Morally speaking, the men that were married broke their wedding vows but what crimes did they do to her as a grown woman? Did they rape her? NO, I don't think she said that. Did they barter sex for fame and fortune? YES. Did she agree, YES, without hesitation.
Her childhood, notwithstanding, she is a victim of her own poor, decision making. It is 2021, she is 43 years old and still talking about who was tryin to "pith" on her. Clearly she still needs help with her victimhood.
Please bring this intro back! It brings back memories! Love your videos!
The whole time with Tyra ....... gosh just shut up Tyra🙄. She was sooo intimidated by how well Karrine articulated/ defended herself.
Right? Even at the end of the interview, she was trying to get her to show out. Super unprofessional
She was the ultimate finesser! She had game and actually did it well. Like the old saying says DONT HATE THE PLAYER HATE THE GAME and in this case this truly applies .
I watched this a while ago but rewatching it now, I'm SO deeply drawn to her intelligence and the way she's able to speak with deeper meaning. Specifically her monologue about the art of being a naked black woman. She has a clear understanding of ART and thinking below the surface, always aware of a deeper message within a message. I was disgusted but not unfortunately unfazed at the men in the interviews calling her a snitch, a tramp, a wh/re etc. and I'm happy she brought the message of how women are viewed as rentable objects out at a time where not many people had their ears open. Not many people were able to be enlightened as easy as they are now with access to a wider database. THANK YOU FOR THIS 😘🥰
If we’re going to re-examine & reposition how we view women’s (especially young women’s) media coverage from the late 90s early Oughts, then surely Karinne deserves the same respect. If we can now acknowledge how Britney, Lindsay or Jessica were marginalised & disrespected, surely the Video Vixen deserves her redemption arc as well? 🤨
I wholeheartedly agree. When it comes to all these women there should always be room for all of us to have understanding, compassion, and to be able to walk away with the lessons that their actions teach us
Definitely!
Exactly 💯
Absolutely.
yes
Honeeeeeyyyy her clap back to Tyra was poetic justice. Love this woman and her realness
Omg! Hi twin! 🤗
Congratulations, Good for her for writting her factual book. More women should write more books. period.
Omg I really relate to her when she said the affects of not having a father can have a girls (especially black girls). Although my father is technically “in my life”, he’s definitely not emotionally available. It’s as if he might as well not even be here. And it really does take a toll on our self esteem and excessive need for attention from guys. And then those girls grow up just to be called tramps and fast. I think this topic should be talked about more because it happens more often than not.
I'm right here with you 💔

🙌this comment 💕💕 not everyone can understand the real message behind her behavior, only those who had struggled with not feeling loved from our dads can understand the real pain .
I think she wrote the book as an outlet. As a way to help herself, heal from the past and move forward. The warning of other aspiring models I believe came later but this was her initial reason IMO. The publishing company of course will see it as marketable and run with it but I feel as she wrote it with good intentions. Journaling really helps people get through happy, sad and confusing times
This!! I definitely see it as an outlet for her but again to help warn other girls because the stuff she went through was traumatic as hell. I need to read it now!
But she still continued to deal with rappers/celebraties. I think it was definitely intentions of capitalizing when she was down n out.
She wrote that book to make money and to be famous.
@@sflachuck She had a story to tell and it was worth getting paid to do it. I know the easy thing to do is to judge her but her book was actually eye-opening. People like to judge her without trying to understand the environment that caused her to think she has to sell herself to survive. Her story made people see those anonymous girls in videos as somebody's mother or daughter and made you reflect on a culture that objectifies women. Like her or not she is genuine. Also, all the men she "exposed" are doing fine. Her story did not affect their career at all.
@@rommieyay4444 in the Tyra interview she said she went back to some of them to get back on her feet, she played the facade for financial gain and I'm not mad at her for it.

She held her own with Trya.
Sure did
Tyra's internalized misogyny strikes again, so pathetic. I think Karrine has every right to pen her memoir and tell her story, at the end of the day if those men don't see what they did as something wrong, that's their problem
@Motown Gayes its misogyny because she has a track record of acting as such with women of all racial backgrounds
@@mshadeel she is EXTRA hard on black women though.
Now I can see why Naomi thought less of her.
Tyra Banks is someone I NEVER rocked with and I’m just glad people can see her for who she is
It's a men's world!!
Wow she was very young. As a grown 40+ year old woman now im happy to see her evolve. I believe her intentions were good when writing the first book based off of who she is today.
Looking at this in light of everything going on with R Kelly and knowing that what she wrote about was during the same time frame. I have so much more respect about what she did now. She was the first to speak up about misogyny and mistreatment. Whether she did that to be vindictive, I don't know. But she spoke up.
Tyra Banks was wrong for how she talked to Karrine Steffans but i also kind of wonder if anyone at the company told Tyra to be extra rude to Karrine just to cover up for the men who Karrine exposed
Or both and I reckon it was both it's so obvious.
Tyra was a bitch to Karrine
It's because Tyra was dating one of the men, Chris Webber, named in the book.
@@MJAYMONONOKE If that is the truth I can understand that. One must be professional tho and while watching that episode I didn't necessarily think that she was being rude, just maybe disgusted. Tyra comes across like she prides herself on being a "well put together" "black" woman and is being a good example. I am sure tho if u asked Tyra about that today she'd probably say that that was a different time. Lol. I feel that many would say that. Damn near 20 years ago, back then we didn;t have "me too" or slut pride or whatever else the youth cook up for their little "revolution".
BTW, I have always thought that Tyra Banks was corny as hell. And never saw her as a "Supermodel" until she crowned herself that with ANTM. I loved that show so much in the early seasons. I went to sleep many a night praying that I'd wake up looking all good and go be a supermodel. 😭.
She had her dude as a truck before and Tyra was mad MAD
I have A LOT of RESPECT for her! It’s her story and she wanted to tell it! All of us have a story! Take the me too movement those people are telling their story! Just like with anything in life, think about things that you’re doing if you don’t want to be exposed!
She owns her truth and she refused to be shamed and I respect that. I remember reading her book cover to cover when I was a 16 year old aspiring video model.
She still got shamed and rightfully so.
