Women work, make their own money, and can legally do all of the things marriage once afforded them. Men have more choices than ever before in a society that encourages them to explore. Thrice married Elisabeth reveals some truths about why women jump into marriage including her reasons.
This woman has transformed herself into Elisabeth Ovesen formerly Karrine Steffans .
Is marriage necessary? 
Marriaged women couldn’t own property or have intercourse without their husbands. Marriage is not the end all be all. People can live together. Everyone needs to belong and that is the problem not everyone is stuck in a box. Let your daughters be young don’t push marriage. She gives good advice. People think they have failed if they are not married. I got married out of fear because somebody broke into the house, my second marriage was to help him get a green card, third marriage was an impulse she never wanted to be married to anybody. Everything is for me. She is being who she wants to be.

In February 2013, How To Make Love To A Martian was published exclusively in Kindle format; Steffans describes the book as relating the story of her “unorthodox relationship” with rapper Lil’ Wayne.
She is one of only a few women to benefit from erotica and turn it into to a respectable career and she is good at it. Women are mad at her because she took her power back, she turned the tables on the men she slept with. Sadly the men she slept with other women wanted them. It was little hate in the game back then. She changed her name and now she is celibate for 2 years and it is clearing her head. She is taking her power back. When and how we get birth control. “Slut shaming” comes from men who can’t handle a woman’s sexual power.
The cousin Chuck was said to be a close friend of Jay Z’s, who, after one phone call, allowed for Steffans-Short’s camera time in the Hype Williams video to be increased tenfold.
Elsewhere in the article, Steffans-Short used Beyonce’s “Sorry” lyrics to further elaborate on her failing marriage with Columbus Short, who was recently busted for failing a drug test while on probation; testing positive for cocaine and weed.
“I married a man with addictions and emotional afflictions,” she explained. “I did everything I could to get him help. His mother and I talked tirelessly about the resources available to us and how to get him to take advantage of them. But, he never did and I hurt myself trying. The alcohol, the cocaine, the other women, it all became too much and I raged. I cried. I mourned and still mourn the loss of my husband, my friend, my confidant.”
The anchor of the op-ed finds Steffans likening how Beyonce’s visual aspect of Lemonade and the Becky metaphor mirrors not only her life but women all across the globe.
Karrine Steffans has identified herself as one of Jay Z’s “Beckys.” But, it’s not quite as salacious as you may think. Steffans claims that her encounter with Jay Z took place before he was in a relationship with Beyoncé.
“Over 15 years ago, I had Beyoncé’s husband,” Steffans wrote in a piece for XO Jane. “Yes, I was one of Jay-Z’s Beckys back in the year 2000 for about three minutes, which is about as long it takes me to satisfy a man in the back of a Maybach while overlooking the beaches of Malibu.”
“Yes, I was one of Jay Z’s Beckys back in the year 2000 for about three minutes, which is about as long it takes me to satisfy a man in the back of a Maybach while overlooking the beaches of Malibu,” she wrote, referencing the “Becky with the good hair” lyric that had Rita Ora and Rachel Roy’s social media world implode over the past few days.
“Chauffeured away from the set, down the winding road, and closer to the shoreline, Jay and I feasted on our attraction to one another – rapidly and quickly. After just a few minutes, I lifted my head from his lap, wiped my lips, and knew we’d made a mistake. Over the next few years, I would see Jay again, as I became close with his then business partner Damon Dash. We never mentioned our Malibu melee and acted as if it never happened. My cousin Chuck would be livid.”
Karinna Steffans’s sexcapades are straight out of a Hollywood erotica. It’s nothing you’ve not heard of before but they still strike hard because of the way she highlights them in the public eye. Among the many global entertainers that Steffans has publicly named as her sexual conquests, the rapper-turned-author is now adding Trey Songz, Chris Brown, and even Michael B Jordan to that list.
It’s ironic that Steffans would choose to expose her sexual past with Hollywood hunk Jordan, just a year after she was compared to his current lady love Lori Harvey. The 24-year-old daughter of Steve Harvey was being praised on social media for accepting expensive gifts from her then alleged beau rapper Future, and then continuing to have Christmas extravaganzas without him. Lori became the face of the toxic ex meme in hours, but people were angry that Steffans when she did the same, was vehemently criticized and called out. Looks like now her fans will have the last laugh because according to Steffans, she had bedded Lori’s new man years ago when he was just a teenager!
