In a candid and intense revelation, Elizabeth Ovesen—formerly known as Karrine Steffans, who once bore the infamous moniker “Supahead”—has shared a striking account of her encounter with Sean “Diddy” Combs. Ovesen, the author of the bestselling book Confessions of a Video Vixen, is now opening up about her experience inside one of Diddy’s notorious parties, offering a raw glimpse into a secretive, glamorous, yet disturbing facet of the music industry that few outsiders ever see.
In a detailed recollection, Ovesen explained that in 2001, shortly after Diddy’s highly publicized breakup with Jennifer Lopez, she found herself in a situation that blurred the lines between consent and exploitation. During a night of heavy drinking and drug use in a limousine with music executive Irv Gotti and rapper Ja Rule, Diddy appeared, setting the stage for what would unfold next. According to Ovesen, the men exchanged words before Gotti “gifted” her to Diddy, sending her to his house for one of his notorious “freak offs.”
“In retrospect, I realized that I was given to him as a gift by another executive,” she shared, underscoring the way women were objectified and treated as mere commodities within the industry’s male-dominated power structures. However, she made it clear that she doesn’t view herself as one of Diddy’s victims, asserting that her participation was consensual. Still, she stands in support of those who may have been victims, stating that they deserve space to tell their stories.
Ovesen’s description of Diddy’s infamous parties paints a vivid picture of excess and indulgence, reminiscent of a modern-day Great Gatsby. “It’s like The Great Gatsby: men in tuxedos, topless women in angel wings, champagne, and synchronized swimmers on the outside, with group sex 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 recounted.
But beyond the shocking depictions of the hedonistic lifestyle that surrounded these events, Ovesen pointed to a deeper, more unsettling issue—a pervasive culture of misogyny within the industry. She emphasized that while these notorious parties and behaviors may have revolved around influential figures like Diddy, the real problem runs far deeper. “It’s not just about Diddy or hip-hop culture. It’s an issue of men who hate women,” she said.
Her words cut through the glamour and excitement often associated with the entertainment world, drawing attention to the underlying misogyny that pervades it. “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. 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,” she revealed.
Ovesen’s reflection on the intersection of power, sexuality, and misogyny in the entertainment industry shines a light on the toxic environment many women face. Her comments call into question not only the behavior of individuals but the entire culture that allows such behavior to thrive unchecked.
While Elizabeth Ovesen’s narrative adds to the long list of controversial revelations involving powerful figures in the entertainment industry, it also urges society to dig deeper into the root causes of these issues. For her, the problem isn’t merely about specific individuals—it’s a systemic issue of male dominance and the objectification of women that persists across industries.
As stories like hers continue to surface, they challenge the narrative of glamorous parties and lavish lifestyles, exposing a much darker reality that demands reflection and change.
