Karrine “Superhead” Steffans was a frequent guest at Sean :Diddy” Combs freak offs, Media Take Out has learned. And now she’s telling what she saw.
The author of Confessions of a Video Vixen, which first exposed the dangerous and disgusting behavior of hip-hop stars when it was published nearly two decades ago, says that she was “gifted” to Diddy in February 2001, fresh off his split with Jennifer Lopez, after a day of “popping pills” and drinking with music exec Irv Gotti around Los Angeles in a limousine.
Her new revelations come during an in depth interview with The Daily Beast. Karrine no longer goes by the name Superhead, she legally changed her name to Elizabeth Ovesen.
“In retrospect, I realized that I was given to him as a gift by another executive,” says Elisabeth Ovesen, 46, in an interview with the Daily Beast. “Diddy’s car pulled up” as they were leaving a club around 3 a.m., she remembered, “He asked who I was, and the men spoke for me.”
Those “men,” Ovesen alleged in her 2005 Vixen memoir were Murder Inc Record’s boss Irv Gotti and flagship artist Ja Rule.
Diddy, then known as “Puff Daddy,” was “at the forefront of the million-dollar look,” Ovesen remembers, and she knew meeting him at that club was an opportunity. “He was like, ‘Send her to my house,’” she says. “And that was it. I got the order to go to his house, and that was the first time he and I spent time.”
Ovesen knew what was expected of her when she showed up to Diddy’s house, and she went in “eyes open” planning to write about a world where “nearly everything goes.”
“I was not one of his victims,” Ovesen told the Daily Beast. “And his victims deserve the space and time to discuss what happened in those rooms.”
At one party allegedly at Diddy’s mansion on Miami’s Star Island—the same mansion he allegedly put up as bail collateral after his Sept 16 arrest on racketeering and human trafficking charges—Ovesen remembers it like The Great Gatsby: men in tuxedos, topless women in angel wings, champagne and synchronized swimmers on the outside, with group sëx in the bathrooms, trays of hors d’oeuvres and drug pills being passed around on the inside.
“You choose your pill, you take your champagne, and that’s your vibe for the night,” she says. “It’s f—ing intense.”
She adds, “And that was kind of one scene.”
But there’s more. Ovesen said seeing video of Diddy attacking his then girlfriend Cassie after an alleged “Freak Off” was triggering.
“I didn’t watch the whole thing. It was very triggering. And I knew exactly what that was,” says Ovesen, revealing that she has been frequently abused by rappers that she has dated. “I know exactly how that feels. I know exactly. I know exactly how that feels.”
She adds, “And it’s not just Diddy, and it’s not just music or hip hop.” The problem, Ovesen said, is men who deep down hate women.
“Men who hate women, men who hate who they are, who can’t admit to their sexuality, who are pretending to be straight when they’re not. And they hate women because they can’t,” says Ovesen. “They don’t love women. Most of them want to be women, and they can’t, and they hate us. They beat us early and often.”
In another scene from her book, Ovesen remembered popping ecstasy and Diddy taking her and rapper Xzibit to a queer club. In another moment, Diddy allegedly warned the rapper, who she called a friend, that she was the type of woman who would have you “on tape with fingers in your booty.”
“That was so weird. It was so weird,” says Ovesen. “And X[zibit] thought it was weird.” She adds, “I mean, we hadn’t even had sëx, Diddy and I, so I’m like, well, that’s a weird thing to say.”
