I'm convinced Karrine 'Superhead' Steffans has officially lost whatever was left of her ever-loving mind. It would behoove her state of mind if someone was to force her to wear one of those white jackets that make you hug yourself. Yall know the ones I'm talking about....those jackets with all the buckles and whatnot; a.k.a. a straight jacket. Anyhoo, in the November/December issue of Today's Black Woman, Steffans talked about how her scandalous lifestyle has impacted her nine year old son, Naiim. And let me warn you all before you read any further: either this woman is mentally lost or her son is severely mentally challenged.
Karrine on how she will 'explain' to her son the reasons why she has done what she's done (f*cking on film, sleeping with various A, B, C and D-list celebs, abusing drugs and alcohol, etc): When he ask, I'll answer honestly; that is the only way to handle it. If he asks, 'Mom--what happened to my dad?' [My answer?: 'Your father left you.'] 'Mom, how did you get to where you are?' [My answer?: 'Your mother had to strip and ho and do whatever she had to do to get you into this house. Then she went broke, and then she made an honest living.'] You just say what it is and your children will love and respect you for it. He is going to love me for being honest and doing whatever I have to do to make sure that he's being taken care of.
Karrine on the impact her lifestyle has made on her son: First of all, I live in a suburban neighborhood, so all of his friends are suburban kids, for the most part. All of these kids have parents that work in the industry who are either on television or they work behind the scenes. Some of them are movie stars and actors and when we have pool parties, nobody knows what I do, and none of my friends know who I am. Parents in his school, other parents in the PTA, have no idea, because I live in L.A., and to everyone here, it's not a big deal. This is not a city of books, so no one knows what I do, and I don't discuss it. I could be a crack whore on the corner and my son will still love me; that won't matter. That is why God gave me a child, because that is the only thing on this earth that is equal to the love that God gives me. I don't worry about that; my son will still love me regardless. And my life isn't shameful; my life is wonderful. Everything that I've done, there is nothing that is shameful, so why would I be upset? It's not a big deal.'

Karrine on her relationship with her son: "He is nine, and we have a normal relationship. He is a happy kid. He is highly intelligent, and he is enrolled in honor classes for next year. He speaks French; he plays chess; he knows sign language; he's at home all of the time. He is still very much his mother's son, and he is very smart and aware of the life that we have and the kind of sacrifices I've made to allow us to live the way that we do. All he knows is that his mother writes books, and that is what is keeping the bills paid; that's what I do. He is truly a nine year old and no one has discussed it with him and no one ever will because he is nine. Now, when he turns 13, well, that's another issue. That might cause some questions to come up.'"

Uh, yeah basically. Reading those excerpts from that article, it seems like she was trying to convince herself more than anything else. Deep down inside she knows she's gonna have hell on her hands when her son realizes the shiesty lifestyle she once led. What young man wouldn't?
And how do her friends NOT KNOW what she does or did for a living?! Yeah, she certified alright. lmao
For the magazine to even place her on the cover says a lot about how little respect they have for the black community.
Anyone with good sense knows that this bimbo haven't a clue on being a Mother.
Your children should always come first and it clear that her son doesn't!
"IF YOU STAND FOR NOTHING, YOU WILL FALL FOR ANYTHING"
I JUST THINK ITS REALLY MISSED UP HOW EVERYONE ON THIS MESSAGE BOARD IS JUDGING THAT WOMAN. ARE YOU GOD? IF YOU ANSWERED YES...THEN YOU'RE A LIAR UNLESS GOD HIMSELF REALLY IS READING THIS MESSAGE. IF YOU ANSWERED NO...THEN STOP JUDGIN'. DON'T NONE OF YA'LL KNOW HER. BEFORE YOU JUDGE OTHERS YOU BETTER TAKE A LONG DAMN GOOD LOOK AT YOURSELF!! I THINK ITS COOL HOW SHE'S AT PIECE WITH HERSELF...HOWEVER, IT IS GOING TO BE HARD ON HER AND AND HER SON ONCE HE GETS OLDER. WHY? BECAUSE SHE MIGHT BE COOL WITH HER PASS BUT OTHERS AREN'T. SHE IS CONSTANTLY GOING TO BE JUDGED AND MADE FUN OF AND HER SON WILL GET THE WORST END OF IT BECAUSE HE'S A MAN HIMSELF...KNOWING WHAT OTHER MEN DID TO HIS MOTHER. THIS CAN GO BOTH WAYS...(1)he might grow up to hate all women, mostly black women because he may feel as though he never had a good example of a black women who doesn't have to do the things she did to keep a roof over her head...OR (2) he might grow up to respect women and want to protect them because he's mother obviously wasn't protected by a good role model. EITHER WAY, I HOW IT TURNS OUT TO BE THE LATTER. I THINK THAT DEEP INSIDE SHE'S A GOOD PERSON THAT JUST MADE SOME BAD CHOICES. I HOPE HER AND SON RECIEVE THE BEST IN LIFE.
I don't give a fat rat about her and her life style. She is no role model in my book and she is a big part of the problem why black men have so little respect for women.
