Karrine Steffans 'Supa Head' Calls Oprah Winfrey "A Hoe" & Maya Angelou "A Prostitute" To Prove No One Is Defined By Their Past
Karrine Steffans, a woman who doesn't have the greatest past, took the time to tweet out that Oprah Winfrey was a hoe and Maya Angelous was a prostitute to make a point during a recent Twitter rant.
On Sunday, the once proclaimed "Supa Head" was drawing a comparison between how some women have used the sexual abuse in their past to become smarter and stronger businesswomen and leaders. She tried to explain on Twitter that a woman's dark past isn't an indicator for what she can become.
Karrine tweeted that she was "kidnapped, held down and raped for three days at 13 years old with soap as lubricant."
"I was a virgin," she revealed on Twitter.
The 37-year-old author, who recently married former Scandal actor Columbus Short, pissed off some people when she referred to Oprah's childhood rape and the effects it had on her.
In one tweet, Karrine said: "Oprah used coke. Don't tell me you respect this woman but not others who have done the same things & grown from it."

You think THAT was the foundation? You think Oprah had me on her show b/c I have sex like a normal woman? https://t.co/3TynAV59u8— Karrine & Co.® (@karrineandco) March 6, 2016
You think Oprah cares about my sex life? 😂 You think that's what I wrote about? I see you never read my books. https://t.co/p9R096zdy8— Karrine & Co.® (@karrineandco) March 6, 2016
.@Oprah was a hoe. She was promiscuous after her rape, admittedly. Same story. More money doesn't erase truth. https://t.co/ujelBaf3P1— Karrine & Co.® (@karrineandco) March 6, 2016
She talks about it, as I have. Transparency is not glorification. Women deserve to be vocal about their experiences https://t.co/8UaqbNNgv8— Karrine & Co.® (@karrineandco) March 7, 2016
A woman tells her story, it's snitching.A man tells his, it's... Men brag/profit from exploits w/ no repercussions. https://t.co/clxoHz0Utq— Karrine & Co.® (@karrineandco) March 7, 2016
No one is defined by their past, be it sexual, financial, criminal, or otherwise. https://t.co/yyvZwGY9W7— Karrine & Co.® (@karrineandco) March 7, 2016
Don't leave out the rape/physical abuse as a child, the self help books & surviving an abusive marriage in book 7. https://t.co/7IafgJcXDp— Karrine & Co.® (@karrineandco) March 7, 2016
Thank you. One of my mantras is, "Turn your mess into a message and you'll never regret one day of your life." https://t.co/CkpmZvOuaM— Karrine & Co.® (@karrineandco) March 7, 2016
Oprah was promiscuous. Maya Angelou was a prostitute. A woman's sexual organs, their functions or reputation will never define or stop her.— Karrine & Co.® (@karrineandco) March 7, 2016
You revere great women but give no credit to their sexual traumas and repercussions for making them stronger, better, wiser women.— Karrine & Co.® (@karrineandco) March 7, 2016
Believing a woman worthy of praise has never had a sexual or ill reputed past is silly. So many great women have had horrible reputations.— Karrine & Co.® (@karrineandco) March 7, 2016
Take a long, hard look at our strong, honorable black women and see how their sex plays a part in their stories. pic.twitter.com/8jSPK9Xn4F— Karrine & Co.® (@karrineandco) March 7, 2016
Women who are raped/molested are oftentimes promiscuous as teens/young adults. Slut shaming women & victims is gross https://t.co/lv9N5UaOe1— Karrine & Co.® (@karrineandco) March 7, 2016
It's difficult for ppl to align a successful woman with an ill-reputed past, but many successful women have one, in one way or another.— Karrine & Co.® (@karrineandco) March 7, 2016
These women are the best proof that where we start isn't always how we end up and that sexual pasts have nothing to do with worth & purpose.— Karrine & Co.® (@karrineandco) March 7, 2016
Oprah said she was promiscuous (a "hoe" by your definition) & Maya Angelou was a whore, by definition, as well as a pimp. But look at God...— Karrine & Co.® (@karrineandco) March 7, 2016
Maya nor Oprah is better than any other woman; they've been just as hurt, just as broken, and just as ill-reputed at one time in their lives— Karrine & Co.® (@karrineandco) March 7, 2016
If you're uncomfortable thinking about young Oprah as a "hoe," you should feel just as uncomfortable thinking of any other woman that way.— Karrine & Co.® (@karrineandco) March 7, 2016
Seriously, Maya Angelou was an actual whore, a prostitute! But how uncomfortable is it saying she was a hoe? Feel this way about every woman— Karrine & Co.® (@karrineandco) March 7, 2016
Oprah used coke.Don't tell me you respect this woman but not others who have done the same things & grown from it. pic.twitter.com/bBYoGCQhPv— Karrine & Co.® (@karrineandco) March 8, 2016
This debate continues and I'm glad. Many "great" women would be called hoes & coke heads had they not become publicly powerful.— Karrine & Co.® (@karrineandco) March 8, 2016
No one is exempt from the pit. Oprah would be a "hoe" and a "coke head" had you known her back then. Revere her growth & everyone else's too— Karrine & Co.® (@karrineandco) March 8, 2016
You can't harp on one woman's past but ignore another's. We all have one. Some of them ugly. But none of us are lessened by them as we grow.— Karrine & Co.® (@karrineandco) March 8, 2016
Never underestimate the power of a woman with purpose, no matter from where she starts.— Karrine & Co.® (@karrineandco) March 8, 2016
What do you think? Do you agree with what Karrine is saying?
