Confessions of a ‘Vixen’ Who First Exposed Diddy’s Dark Side
Confessions of a Video Vixen author Elisabeth Ovesen says that she was “gifted” to Diddy in February 2001, fresh off his split with Jennifer Lopez, after a day of “popping pills” and drinking with music execs around Los Angeles in a limousine.
“In retrospect, I realized that I was given to him as a gift by another executive,” says Ovesen, 46, in an interview with the Daily Beast. “Diddy’s car pulled up” as they were leaving a club around 3 a.m., she remembered, “He asked who I was, and the men spoke for me.”
Those “men,” Ovesen alleged in her 2005 Vixen memoir were Murder Inc Record’s boss Irv Gotti and flagship artist Ja Rule. It was he height of hip-hop’s opulence, when music video budgets ballooned and had auteur-level creative direction—and appearing in such productions could make someone a star. A 21-year-old Ovesen, then known as Karrine Steffans, had appeared in Jay-Z’s music video for his 2000 hit song “Big Pimpin,” which reportedly cost at $1 million to make.
