Queen Latifah // July 2009 Essence Magazine

Queen Latifah recently revealed in her July 2009 cover story for Essence Magazine that as a child, she was sexually abused by a teenager who was taking care of her.

“He violated me,” she says of the abuser. “I never told anybody; I just buried it as deeply as I could and kept people at an arm’s distance. I never really let a person get too close to me. I could have been married years ago, but I had a commitment issue.” Eventually, she opened up to her parents, who separated when she was young.

Scott Storch

In 2006, Scott Storch was a pretty successful producer and basically a household name. Having worked on hits for the biggest artists in the game including Beyonce, 50 Cent, T.I., Chris Brown, Christina Aguilera, Nas, Snoop Dogg and many more, his bank account was pretty loaded! But he recently revealed to MTV News how he basically threw away over $30 million in less than a year.

To make a long story short, he got addicted to drugs and stopped caring about his career. His manager Derek Jackson, who has known Storch on a personal level for nearly 20 years says his abrupt rise and fall was “historical.”

“[It was] unlike anything I’ve ever seen in my entire life,” Jackson told MTV News. “Historical! It was historical without question. … Honestly, about three years ago, he got really shady. And that’s the best term I could use. He went from what his normal vices were to suddenly becoming a person who was infatuated with the drug, and I saw it constantly.”

“I’m excited that Heidi will join the long list of Playboy cover girls!” she told MTV News in a statement. “I hope she enjoyed the shoot and feels as liberated as I did! Good luck!”

Meanwhile, Kim Kardashian offered the MTV reality star advice and helped her make the decision to pose for the magazine.

“Actually, I was in Mexico and I got a call from Heidi saying, ‘Call me right now,’” Kardashian told MTV News on Tuesday (June 16). “So I called her and she had said to me, ‘What do you think? What’s your opinion on if I were to do Playboy?’”
