Video vixen Karrine Steffans has claimed she was presented as a 'gift' to Sean 'Diddy' Combs as she reflected on her time working in music videos. The American author, who now goes by the name Elisabeth Ovesen, published her first book Confessions Of A Video Vixen back in 2005 as she opened up about being passed around by men in the music industry.

The star, who is now a New York Times bestselling author, began her career as an actress and video vixen, appearing in more than 20 music videos in the hip hop industry. Her first book in the series gives details of her sexual relationships with rappers from Diddy to Usher and American basketball player Shaquille O'Neal, as well as Jay-Z and Diddy, who are under increased scrutiny due to recent allegations.

Diddy, 55, is currently behind bars in a Brooklyn detention centre after being charged with racketeering, ‘sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion’ and ‘transportation to engage in prostitution’. Meanwhile earlier this month Jay-Z, 55, was hit with a civil lawsuit that claims he sexually assaulted a 13-year-old girl on September 7, 2000 after the MTV Video Music Awards with Diddy.

Noughties 'video vixen' has claimed she was presented as a 'gift to Diddy' and performed sex act for Jay-Z to prove her 'worthiness' - as she alleges how hip hop stars passed women around the industry (pictured in a video for Jay-Z's song Big Pimpin). Speaking to the Daily Beast, she likened what's happening to the #MeToo movement which began in 2017, but says it's taken a while for people to catch up and realize the world of hip hop is just as murky as Hollywood.
