Top model Tyra Banks is not a darling when it comes to doing what she has to do to get her career to the top. Although no one ever said anything about that until Actress and video vixen, Karrine Steffans, who released a book entitled Confessions of a Video Vixen, was stepped on. Tyra Banks turned her nose up at the book, which talks about all the famous men Steffans slept with over the years. As a way of retaliation, Steffans aired what she called the hard truth in an interview with Aalbc.com.

She said, “There are people like Tyra who are hypocrites. Women especially, who have slept their way through their whole careers. And it’s not a secret within the Hollywood circle”. She continued, “Now she has her own talk show where she’s well-groomed, all made up, and has on a $5,000 wig. Don’t get me wrong, Tyra’s done well for herself. You have to applaud her for all that she’s achieved, coming from that model world, and expanding, which is wonderful. But let’s not pretend that you haven’t done some of the people and things that I’ve done”.

She told Complex magazine, “You know, I have slept with a lot of guys in the industry, but none of them helped me get my record deals. Which is annoying”. Lana’s hard work paid off eventually when her debut album Born To Die was the fifth best-selling album of 2012 in the U.S.
