==Dispute with Peter Bergen==
Journalist Peter Bergen, famous for interviewing Osama bin Laden, and publishing a biography on him, called Boof's book ''"the worst book of the year"''.<ref name=peterbergen2006-07-05/>  According to Bergen she described a sexual encounter between Osama bin Laden, Ayman al Zawahiri, Abdullah Azzam, and Sayyid Qutb. However, Bergen asserted, Qutb and Azzam were dead, in 1996, and al Zawahiri was in prison.
==Views on the black identity==
Boof's views on media portrayals of the black identity have generated controversy.<ref name=theatlantic2011-05-25/><ref name=womenandhollywood2014-06-14/>  In 2011 several music industry publications reported her criticisms of a rap video entitled "Pretty girls" by an American rapper names Wale, whose parents were from Nigeria.<ref name=XxlWaleBoof/>  She criticized him for not including an African women in his video.  In 2014 she critized casting Zendaya Coleman as the lead in a biopic of Aaliyah, because she thought Zendaya didn't have sufficiently African appearance.  She had previously criticized casting Zoe Saldana in a biopic of Nina Simone, in which filmmakers darkened Saldana's skin color, and had her wear facial prosthetics.

Kola Boof
Other names Naima Bint Harith (birth name)[1]
Born 1969 [1]
Omdurman, Sudan[1]
Occupation writer, poet
Known for described being kidnapped by Osama bin Laden, and forced into a sexual relationship

Kola Boof (b. 1968) is an author and former model, who was born in wartime Sudan, orphaned, and adopted by an American family.[2][3]

In 2002, Boof initially denied reports by The Guardian that she was a former lover of Osama bin Laden, but later offered her own account of living as an involuntary concubine to bin Laden, for six months, in 1996, in Marrakesh, Morocco.[2]

Early life

Boof's father was an Egyptian Arab, her mother a Somalia girl, however, since she was born in the Sudan she considers herself Sudanese.[2] Her father was politically active, and was disowned by his Egyptian family, hence his move to Sudan. She was six years old when she was orphaned.[4] She describes the family that adopted her and eight other children raising her in poverty, in Washington D.C.. As a teenager she competed in a beauty pageant and describes becoming the mistress of one of the pageant's judges. Boof became a model.

Boof's account of her relationship with Osama bin Laden

According to Boof she had a creepy feeling about Osama bin Laden, when she first met him, and congratulated herself that none of his bodyguards had followed her home, only to find that she had been followed, and that bin Laden had chosen her as a concubine.[2][5][6] She describes their first sexual encounter as a rape. But, citing the example of Patty Hearst she objects to being described as a "sex slave". She points out that Patty Hearst was raped, and held captive, but she is never described as a "sex slave".

According to Boof, Osama bin Laden was obsessed with American singer Whitney Houston.[2][7] According to Boof, Osama bin Laden routinely smoked cannabis. According to Boof, even though conservative muslims frown on pornography, Osama bin Laden carried around Playboy magazines. Boof says bin Laden wanted her to wear her hair like Whitney Houston's; said that Houston looked inherently Islamic, and had been brainwashed by American culture, and by her husband Bobby Brown; that Houston was the only black woman he had considered marrying; that he had considered having Bobby Brown assassinated.

She describes being allowed to go free when bin Laden tired of her, and that they parted with substantial gifts.[2] She claims her account of the involuntary nature of her time with Bin Laden had been confirmed by Fabrizzio Ruspoli, the owner of the bed & breakfast where bin Laden held her.[3]

Books

In addition to her 2006 memoirs, "Diary of a lost girl" Boof has written several novels.[1] Boof also wrote for several American soap operas.

Dispute with Peter Bergen

Journalist Peter Bergen, famous for interviewing Osama bin Laden, and publishing a biography on him, called Boof's book "the worst book of the year".[8] According to Bergen she described a sexual encounter between Osama bin Laden, Ayman al Zawahiri, Abdullah Azzam, and Sayyid Qutb. However, Bergen asserted, Qutb and Azzam were dead, in 1996, and al Zawahiri was in prison.

Views on the black identity

Boof's views on media portrayals of the black identity have generated controversy.[6][9] In 2011 several music industry publications reported her criticisms of a rap video entitled "Pretty girls" by an American rapper names Wale, whose parents were from Nigeria.[10] She criticized him for not including an African women in his video. In 2014 she critized casting Zendaya Coleman as the lead in a biopic of Aaliyah, because she thought Zendaya didn't have sufficiently African appearance. She had previously criticized casting Zoe Saldana in a biopic of Nina Simone, in which filmmakers darkened Saldana's skin color, and had her wear facial prosthetics.
