Starting Over Talk - Peer Coaching Support Site

Can anyone please tell me exactly what about using your mouth as a human garbage can, keeping notes about being a HO and writing about HOin through a ghost writer makes Superhead a woman of honor?

Don’t get played! The only “cautionary tale” involving Karrine Steffans, aka “Superhead,”should be directed to casting directors and media outlets that provide legitimate forums for Superhead's cries of objectification and marginalization while she continues to promote the negative images that perpetuate the objectification and marginalization of women. Mentioning Superhead's name in the context of women who are truly Starting Over is insulting.

While promoting dialogue on any subject is always constructive, lending respectability and credibility to Superhead without questioning her motives and behavior is not.

Visitors to Superhead's website are greeted by a sexually suggestive photo of her all decked out in fake hair, fake nails and fake breasts with a telephone cord wrapped around her neck simulating a dog collar. Superhead's demeanor and her "honor" varies greatly depending on her audience.

Superhead markets her "Girl's Club" as a peer advise club for young women and girls. Most disturbingly, Superhead uses group posts to direct members of her "Girl's Club" to her Mysace sites. Until recently, Superhead's Myspace sites (now private) provided links to her business ventures, Vamp and Vixen, Inc. and “The Steffans’ Agency and Its Beck and Call Girls.” Honorable?

The Steffans’ Agency provides “private temporary staffing” to its clientele. Employment applicants must be female, between 18 and 25, submit head and body shots and be hand picked by Superhead. What is so honorable about going from HO to Madam?

Superhead, like everyone, deserves the benefit of the doubt. Nonetheless, her current and recent statements and behavior indicate that she is a predator who perpetuates the objectification and marginalization of women.

Karrine says that she created the "Superhead" legend with her "blood, sweat and tears...and spit.” She earned her name and reputation; now let's move on. Superhead is on the fourteenth of her fifteen minutes. Don’t prolong it! Superhead's act belongs in mens' magazines, not on a show about women who are Starting Over.

well said

It doesn't atake much searching to see what this woman is UP TO, Today......can we say "Major Con-Artist"? Karrine quite obviously presents herself as one type of person, when in fact she is entirely another!

One can only guess what her recent Actions, Activities and her "Business" is doing to entice young women into the world of Porn and Prostitution.

I wonder what the reaction is from the producers of "SO" and from Iyanla herself, for casting Karrine as a "Mentor" and Role Model?

What in the world made Iyanla think this woman is a mentor she is far from it, i watched Tyra call her out on her stuff and she was pissed. Christina deserved better she is a bad influence to Christina.

I rarely watch Tyra Banks, but I did watch her segment with Karinne Steffans. I think Karinne Steffans was there just to hawk her book. And, justify her behavior. Iyanla couldn't have chosen a crappier "mentor" for Christina if she'd tried.

True, but Christina really, really related to her.

I don't think Karinne Steffans was a good choice as a "mentor," however I think Iyanla chose Karinne because of similar life experiences, with the intention to give Christina hope for the future, and to further point out how her life style could have gone in a very dangerous direction.
