GOSSIP: This Business Of Vixens

What is up with these Video Vixens sleeping around the industry and then writing tell-all's? A few weeks ago, I grinded a photo of Mos Def's ex-wife hugged up with Andre 3000. HellifIknow commented: "I swear, can these men in hip-hop and music find someone that hasn't already been with someone else in music or entertainment? Is the dating pool really that small? First Eric Benet and Prince's ex-wife, now Andre and Mos' ex? But then I guess it makes sense...obviously Prince's ex likes musical types and Mos' ex likes conscious, creative rap stars...." Hmmm.

Apparently, Mos Def's ex, Ayana, is a former stripper/video vixen and is no stranger to the pool of men available in the entertainment industry.  She is now writing a tell-all book titled "Breaking the Code of Silence" where she exposes Mos Def.  Apparently, she met Mos Def in Toronto back in 2005 and the two got married just three days later. She reveals that her and Mos Def were not on drugs when they married as some people speculated, but it was something he wanted and she went along with it.  Eventually, Mos Def went on to abuse her and she filed for divorce two months later. Unfortunately for her, the two are still legally married because Mos Def won't sign the papers and according to her book, he told her  "If I can't have you, no one will."

But get this, Mos Def wasn't the only celebrity she has slept with, allegedly. Also in the book, she details her romps with different celebrities and NBA stars, but won’t use their names out of respect for their wives. Isn't that contradictory? If you are sleeping with their husbands in the first place?  In the book, Ayana (who dropped out of school in 7th grade) details a rough upbringing which began when she was molested by a relative and beaten almost to death by a former boyfriend. Isn't that the excuse Karrine Steffans used about her promiscuous past?

These girls evidently haven't learned anything as Superhead ended up in an abusive relationship, allegedly, with actor Darrius McCray and this girl Ayana is living in Toronto working odd jobs to make ends meet.

So I have to ask, did Mos Def try to turn a ho into a housewife?

<i>Isn't that the excuse Karrine Steffans used about her promiscuous past?</i>

In all fairness it's not an "excuse."

Many of the women I know who have bben abused and molested fell into two categories:

1. The Wild Ones

2. The Prudes

People don't respect The Wild Ones. They say it's an excuse, they're just whores, etc. People respect The Prudes because they represent a socially acceptable norm of women's behaviour.

The problem is both groups of women have a hard time making lasting relationships and suffer a great deal because of their abuse.
