Women’s exploitation in the music industry

Here is more about her.

She faced problems during her teen years

Kat says that she was physically abused in her home in North Miami where she resided with her grandmother, mother and two uncles. Her mother was rarely at home and her grandmother had mental problems.

Her opinion about the pimp game

Kat was stuck as she walked the streets and found that the pimp game did not resemble the seedy glamor which is often displayed in pop culture. The pimp game is generally a mental game. The pimps have the girl’s minds and they never leave because they think it is love. Their self-esteem is also low and they lack the strength inside to get up and leave. She said that even though some women who were in the pimp game got some mental strength to leave, it is not easy to do so. Some pimps are honest and just tell their girls to leave, and they do not care. However, there are some who she referred as gorilla pimps who tell their girls that they cannot leave unless they shoot them dead.

How she got out

Kat managed to get out of the pimp game but it was not through a sympathetic trick, the kindness of friends or colleagues or even non-profits. Although there are organizations that help women to get out of that kind of life, Kat says she would not have known how to look for such an organization. She says that probably no one would have assisted her those days. Her mind was so gone and she has a relationship with a pimp who was not ready to let her go. She suffered from solitude in her mind. To get out of the pimp game, she displayed a firearm. She was 19 years of age at the moment. The authorities attempted to deport Kat, but they released her since she was expectant. To avoid deportation, they asked her to stay with her family without the firearm. The pimp would not come close to her and due to her family’s support and love as well as the baby, it was a different experience from what she was used to.

Drama for Pageviews

People had to guess if Kat Stacks was a side chick, an escort or video model. She kept it ambiguous and it was meant to gain pageviews on WorldStarHipHop.

Throughout the entire episode, she completed her house arrest time and later embarked on a promotional club tour, which cashed on her notoriety.

Locked up for three years

The charge came under duress since she was forced to be a prostitute. Kat and Eduardo C. Fuentes, her immigration attorney tried to fight deportation proceedings. She attempted to enjoy what may have been her last days in the USA. After that, a paperwork mix up caused her to miss a vital court date. As she attempted to leave Nashville TN on November 5, 2010, she was arrested and placed on an indefinite immigration hold. She served 3 years in jail and her status remained indefinite even if she had not committed another crime. She was going to be released but they did not do so since the prosecutors showed her videos in court. The judge said it was rebellious and tried to deport her. They tried to appeal again. The spoke about it on the media and it even got the attention of Obama. Due to the mess that started, the court released her because the judges and prosecutor were tired of the media’s recklessness. A judge released Kat and granted her amnesty as a victim of underage sex trafficking.
