She led the publication during some of its highest-selling issues, but later sued for sexual harassment and received a reported $15.5 million settlement. She is the author of “Straight from the Source: An Expose from the Former Editor in Chief of the Hip-Hop Bible” (VH1, 2008), in which she gives a behind-the-scenes look at her years at The Source.

Osorio is currently an editor-at-large for BET.com and a frequent on-air contributor to BET News. She was formerly the vice president of content for Global Grind, a leading hip-hop media company.
