I was in the bookstore over the weekend and I didn’t even know that Pepa (aka Sandy Denton) came out with an autobiography (or tell all book, depending on how you feel). After skimming through her book called “Let’s Talk About Pep” (yes, I skim before I buy), I think that this will be one that I will actually buy. She details of a past abusive relationship with a man that she calls “Brad”, who I actually think is Treach from Naughty by Nature. Hmmm…just a thought:

Her deepest scars came from a decade-long romance with a man she calls “Brad.”

During one of their apocalyptic fights, she writes, “I had the hot iron in my hand and he had a handful of my hair. He grabbed the hand with the iron in it and was pushing [it] toward my face. … He ended up pressing that hot iron against my other arm. I heard my flesh sizzling, and the smell was sickening. I started screaming from the pain. He dropped the iron and I turned to run, and his nail swiped across my eyeball and shredded my cornea.” The incident left her with deep scars and an eye patch.

The couple had another brawl at actor Omar Epps’ house, where, she says, “Brad” threw her through a glass coffee table and tried to push her down the stairs. (source)

There is another excerpt in the book where it says that “Brad” had pulled her microbraids out and ripped her hair out. She said that he ripped the braids out from the hair bulb and thus leaving her with hair loss. Her frontal hair (or “edges” for the rest of us) never grew back, which is why she wears lace front wigs to this day.

Will you buy her book?
