Family Matters Star Accused Of Abuse

Filed under: Exclusives!

karrrineee.jpg

This is not funny at all.

Some of your might know Karrine Steffans. We do. She appeared on an episode of What Perez Sez. She's also known as "Supahead", has written several books (including Confessions of a Video Vixen) and she's dated a few famous fellas, like Bill Maher and Bobby Brown.

Well, very early this morning - at 4:47 A.M. - Karrine texted us with some disturbing news.

She says:

"It's Karrine. U have to help me. My boyfriend just tried to run over me with his car. [I] Just made a police report. In August, he placed me in a choke hold at a strip club on my birthday. There's a report and photos of that. There was another choking I never reported but is now being investigated. I lied to the city attny to save his ass but I'm DONE. He'll kill me if I go on with this. YES…Eddie Winslow from Family Matters! I have to give you this story. Pls!"

Wow. That is some very serious stuff.

Thankfully the police are looking into it and the allegations against Darius McCrary.

Hopefully Karrine is getting the help she needs right now.

If you or someone you know is in a similar situation, PLEASE call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233.

    Violence against women is NOT COOL. BUT What can Perez do? Fly in and save her? The LAST THING ON MY MIND WOULD BE CONTACTING ANY MEMBER OF THE PRESS! This seems WAY TOO PERSONAL TO ADVERTISE. perhaps SHE REALLY LIKES FAME AND ATTENTION!

    Blahfrickinblah, apparently she already went to the police. She wanted Perez to help her get the story out. I guess she thought this could help a lot of people?

    Yes, this is serious. Thank you for putting the National DV Hotline # out there for people. Intimate Partner Violence is one of the biggest problems in America, in the world, and nobody ever talks about it. Thank you for speaking out Karrine. It's hard but you WILL get through this. Speaking out is the first step, but also the most dangerous. Take care of yourself and stay safe. Nobody deserves to be abused by those they love!!!

    u know what? she is fucking stupid. I read her book and u can see that even after all the shit she went thru, she dtill has no respect for herself and gets involved with this losers. she deserves what she is getting for now respecting herself.

    My problem is that women lie. They get mad when they are dumped or cheated on & they lie about stuff like this all the time. If this is true he is a bully & deserves to pay & I hope he does to the fullest extent of the law. If she is lying, I hope she pays with karma.
    ***** I love you Perez ******

    I do not think I would have text you this info. He is probablly really pissed now being exposed like this. I hope the police are taking this very seriously and she shows the pics she has to them so they can do somthing. Terrible!

    one man told me something great..he said if you ever find yourself with someone who hits you even once, that means he has already started hating you and the love has stopped.

    She was almost run over by a car and she decided that she needed to get to you to report this on a gossip blog. Either it is a bunch of shit or she wants fame by any means necessary. Either way, it is very disturbing.

    Karrine I hope you really leave him alone and I don't know what his issues are but I hope it's not anger stemming from the fact that you're extremely promiscuous…girl you know most men can't take that….

    She's all about the publicity. Why does she always end up with the same type of man? I'm not too sure about her. She earned her nickname in the business for a reason and she knew exactly what she was doing. Seperately, if he did beat her; he deserves to get locked up…

  30. Emily says – reply to this

    I initially had the WTF reaction to her contacting the media about this, but after I mulled over it I realized what she was doing and it is pretty smart. It looks like she did contact the police and go through the proper channnels. Unless she is a fame whore out to ruin this guy…then she's actually taking steps to protect herself. First - if this guy is an ego maniac like most abusers, he doesn't want anyone to know what he's doing. Especially the American public, because he is an actor (no matter how z-list). So he may just back off at this point. Secondly, if he's smart he _will_ leave her the f*** alone because if something happens to her now, she now has a powerful document as to who is most likely at the root of it. If someone got the opportunity to assault me, and I *really* thought my life was in danger - I think I'd tell everyone I knew.

    Why the FUCK is she texing YOU that early abt a fucking story of her getting her ass kicked by Eddie Winslow??? What are you supposed to do? She already contacted the police. Bitch needs some pub. I almost fell for it until she says "I have to give you this story" Domestic violence is a serious issue, but c'mon Cleatus….she hits YOU up first thing in the a.m?

    Hopefully Karrine will get the help she needs. No human being deserves to be treated in the way she has, if it in fact is true.

    Good luck to her.

    I love Perez and everything he does but wtf???? would I send u a text when I just got choked by my bf? Karrine has serious issues but I hope both parties get the help they need…she has a son and she needs to step up and take control.

    What happened to innocent until proven guilty? I forgot that that doesn't exist where you turds are concerned. Maybe the lady is lying? Nah… she's a friend of Perez. That wouldn't happen.

    38

    Perez, you're a tool. Why would someone text YOU when their life is being threatened and not 911?? Obviously she's got other motives in mind. And I don't feel sorry for Supahoe that keeps choosing the same losers to be with.

  39. deedee says – reply to this

    Hummmmm wondering WHY she is TEXT messaging THAT info at 4:30am!!! Isnt that a little odd???? Hopefully its not true but text messaging PEREZ??

    She's a whore in every sense of the word, but especially an attention whore! Ask any rapper that put her in a video, she's a nobody, just a skank that slept around and then blabbed about it. Snitchin' ain't good, whore!

    Do you think posting her private message to you on your website for all to see was the smartest move? I'm not quite sure how you think doing that will help her situation at all???

    42

    Perez WTF!!!!!!!!!!! What have you become? I don't understand what you're trying to do. You should not be apart of this woman's bullshit. Leave it to the Police! Jesus Dude!! Besides on any other day you would be saying she was F-list celeb trying to get publicity but because she gave you an "exclusive" you act like she's someone. WHATEVER!!

  43. kelly says – reply to this

    If he already choked her twice and she stayed with him she's a dimwit. She should be a runner up for the Darwin Awards.

  44. 44

    Why didn't she call the police? Since when is calling Perez a 911 call? Sounds like a publicity stunt or some sort of revenge tactic.

    Having said that, it doesn't take away from the violence and that is wrong and NO one deserves that. I wish her well and hope she gets some mental health support to seek out why she stayed with a guy who has been abusing her.

    Peace

    Yeah, not really buying it Karine? How will publicizing such a "serious" and "life threatening" domestic situation ensure your safety? Then again, I'd feel awful if you're telling the truth. Be safe, & God bless xxx

  46. rocky says – reply to this
    46

    Um. I have issues with this.
    Domestic abuse is nothing to laugh about. Or exploit for attention either.
    If shes so afraid that he will kill her for going on with this… she sure as shit must not be afraid he'll kill her if she has her laundry posted on the internet for all to see.
    I know someone who was abused by her husband-
    a police report? how about a friggin restraining order- something…
    this makes me sick.
    blah.

  47. Christ says – reply to this
    47

    I hope she gets the help she needs. She already went through domestic violence with her ex husband… No offense but why would she text Perez and not call the police? Or did she call the police and just because she was waiting around decide to text Perez to put it out there? The important question is, WHERE THE EFF IS HER SON DURING ALL THIS? Poor thing…
    Perez thanks for posting that hotline! A lot of women (and even some men!) need it.

    I smell BULLSHIT!! Seriously, why go to you Perez?? Why does she want to tell everybody, and she didn't even give his real name.. This is by far one of the stupidest bitches out there… He doesn't need to be locked up, her retarded ass does..

    I have never commented and have been reading this blog for 2.5 years now.
    She is a publicity whore that is the reason she leaked the story she wants to have her name constantly out there. also I guess she is looking another idea/story to write about and abuse with boyfriend just may suit her. Remember that when you get a contract book deal it is multiple books that have to be written and this might just be a great idea.

    YOU SCHIZOPRENIC BIPOLAR WHORE………………… U SNITCH ASS BITCH. DIDN'T YOU GO ON RADIO AND SAID THAT HE IS THE ONE? YOU DUMB FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Yeah Yeah no he shouldn't have touched her. This ho has run through how many men and you have a son. If he choked you in public I'm pretty sure he has done it at home probably where her son has witnessed it. Ho get your life together and stopped jumping at the first dick that comes your way. This is not the first time she has gotten that ass tapped so why would ya stay in a relationship like that. Get ya shit straight and remember Karrine no man is about to marry a hoe or consider taking you seriously unless you straighten out your life. K

    This is not cool. If it is true, she has done the right thing and gotten help. If it isn't true, you've caused irreversible damage to a person's career and caused huge personal injury. If the investigation proves it is true, he'll get his and I’ll welcome a post tearing him apart, but this post should never have been put up because of a text message from someone fighting with their significant other in the middle of the night. VERY DISSAPOINTING PEREZ!!!

    You’ve earned a lot of respect through your sight because you cut on everyone, don’t start to play favorites, especially with a subject so serious. If it this is not true and it turns out she was lying, it will make it more difficult for battered spouses every where to get help.

    GIRL WHO CRIED WOLF…i mean who can believe this slut…she'll say anything to keep her name in LIGHTS!!!!! If she is being abused then yes he should be punished, but we dont know the whole story so we cant just automatically look at him like he's a monster…what if she did something to him as well! All i'm saying is dont convict him before he's been found GUILTY…thats the problem with the media, as soon as a woman cries out that she's been hit or something like that the man is CONVICTED BY THE MEDIA, when the investigation is complete you find out that the woman was caught screwing the man's father, brother, uncle, best friend and cousin…so just wait til the investigation is complete before you assume he's the BAD GUY…we all know HER REPUTATION!

    Re: kev – No you asshole, I was. But you dont see me putting up dumbass comments like that

  68. 68

    Yes, because the first thing I would do when I get the crap kicked out of me is text a celebrity blogger…. ain't no reason for this except she ain't been in the news. I'm sure it happened, and it's crappy, but she can play "victim" in the media now. Everyone will talk about her, feel sorry for her, pay for interviews about the "inside scoop" and the domestic abuse groups will ask her to pose. What a way to make a mockery of domestic violence.
