Karrine Steffans Writes Letter On Domestic Violence

Karinne Steffans better known as “Superhead” is back in headlines, this time not for exposing rappers but exposing years of physical abuse she's endured.
The author has penned an open letter to VIBE detailing violence she's faced at the hands of her significant other.

While not naming names, the wife of “Family Matters” actor Darius Mccray tells the publication that she's been “belitted” by someone she's cared about for years.

“For the past several years, I have been involved in a highly abusive relationship. I have been choked, whipped with belts, thrown about, berated, belittled, raped, and disregarded as a human being. I have been abandoned and embarrassed, then, loved and coddled.

I have been caught in a vicious cycle and have left on many occasions, just to return.”


Steffans says her friends haven't always been supportive and ask her why she won't just leave, a question she's asked herself on several occasions.

“When I try to confide in friends they ask, “Well, what did you do to him? What did you say to him?” They tell me, “You know how he is, he's never going to change, so why do you stay? You know what you're getting into. Don't tell anyone because he'll come out looking good and you'll only make yourself look bad.” It's always my fault...No one understands – not even me.”


Steffans signs the letter, “Karrine Steffans‐McCrary” and leaves a number for the domestic abuse hotline.

Darius Mccray filed for divorce from Steffans in February.

    What about all the men who are victims of women's domestic violence? Women's domestic violence against men is grossly under reported, while male victims are still routinely being ignored by the taxpayer funded domestic violence industry. Credible research overwhelmingly shows that the ratio of domestic violence is at least 50/50 between women & men. Go to Fiebert Bibliography. According to one study by researchers who work at the CDC, in 70 percent of domestic violence incidents, where the d.v. is not mutual, it's women who initiate the d. v. Go to Respecting Accuracy in Domestic Abuse Reporting. Click on the link under the red & blue pie chart. D.v. law follows a gender feminist agenda over facts & does great harm to many innocent men & also many violent women. Go to Youtube, “Los Misandry”

    Why is there so little talk about violence against children? According to the U.S. Dept of Health and Human Services and DOJ statistics, more kids are killed by neglect and abuse in a year (1,760 in 2007), than all the female intimate partner homicides in a year. Mothers are the single largest group of kid killers, according to HHS and they have a rate twice that of fathers. Nowhere near the money is spent to protect kids from kid killing mothers as is spent by the domestic violence industry to protect women. A lot of innocent men are witch-hunted by the corrupt, gender feminist influenced, taxpayer funded, domestic violence industry. Involving the corrupt d.v. industry in an attempt to prevent abusive and neglectful deaths of children is a big mistake. No place better characterizes the corruption of the taxpayer funded, domestic violence industry than "Los Misandry" at Youtube.

    Didn't know p@rn stars were so sensitive. What a turn off.

  • Keepsitreal

    She's probably just trying to promote a new book or T.V. show. I'm pretty sure she out of money by now.

  • Muhammed53

    She's a hoe. You can't believe ANYTHING a hoe says. Everybody knows that. Who does she think she's fooling? That chick needs therapy...long term, permanent therapy. And it better be w/ a straight, female therapist or she'll wind up doing the Doctor. SMDH
