- #Playboy is an empire built off exploitation. For decade's Playboy's founder Hugh Hefner violated women for personal and financial gain. While he's no longer with us, his legacy lives on and haunt's the lives of former Playboy 'Bunny's'

The fact that Hugh had the audacity to buy the grave next to Marilyns after publishing those photos without her consent and giving her no cut in the 1950s where nudity was looked down upon makes me absolutely sick. He really was that narcissistic.
Creep
I thought that part was pretty f-ed up.
Stalked beyond the grave, poor Marilyn Monroe! Fortunately HH is buried beside his mother in New Jersey.
Buying the spot beside Marilyn was just a publicity stunt - a nasty one at that!
Same.
Yeah that makes me sick. He exploited her nearly ruined her career and used photos without her permission and than he gets a grave next to her. What a nasty piece of work he is.
Marilyn was done dirty by just about every single person she did business with. Hugh should have paid her royalties for those photos. I guarantee that playboy wouldnt have been such a huge success at the beginning if she wasnt the first on the cover!!
@@releaseOURmelody not sure what is so funny ..
? I don’t understand what’s funny either?
@@releaseOURmelody what is funny
Agreed! 👏🏼👏🏼
Even more disturbing is the fact that Hugh request to be buried right next to her after he died.
I can’t believe the man never even met Marilyn. He talked like they were close friends. That’s beyond psychotic and disgusting
I recently saw a tweet saying “ whoever buried Hugh Hefner beside Marilyn Monroe deserve to be in hell” and I didn’t understand because that crazy man made it seem as if they were friends and it’s truly disgusting that they weren’t
They actually were very distant cousins.
@@KayKay-bp9fq Hugh is buried next to his mother you mor'n.
@@amacem4537 ok
@@amacem4537 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤦♂️
Thank you for speaking about how he stalked Marylin. I've always thought he was such a creep for wanting to be buried next to her without ever actually knowing her. Poor girl cant even rest in peace.
Victim mentality at its finest
and till this days she cant be in peace
I had the pillow my mom got me when I was 13 😀
True meaning of no peace even in death .............
BOONDOCKS VOICE --- .......... FROM BEYOND THE GRAVE NIGGA YOU AIN'T GONE NEVER GET ME BACK !!!!!!!!!!!
He actually wanted to be buried ON TOP of Marilyn Monroe... What a SICKO
I was a Playboy model for years…visited the mansion about 3 times. It was totally disgusting, just as described here. You did a good job with this, Sloan.🕺💞
Thank you for sharing your experience
I bet you have some stories!
Did you audition to be a Playboy model?
Thank you for confirming this
Would actually love to hear your story xxxx
I am glad to see Playboy get a more accurate representation in the media. When I was a child I had a cheap necklace with the bunny symbol on it. I had found the necklace at Claire's teen girl's jewelry store. Looking back, that was rather messed up.
Literally still finding them there
I think almost every young girl wanted to be a playboy bunny if you were in that era, lol.
Yes! I even remember girls in Jr high wearing shirts with the playboy bunny on them. Meanwhile I got in trouble for my 40 oz shirt 😆
@@fah232 No
Playboy liscensed out a lot of cheap truck stop trinkets. They really hurt their brand for short term gain
It’s purchasing the mausoleum vault next to Marilyn Monroe’s like they’re married or something to be side by side for eternity that is the grossest to me. You might want to be laid to rest next to Marilyn but I highly doubt Marilyn would want to be laid to rest next to you.
She would be turning in her grave! Just sickening I feel so bad for marilyn
Can we just all give a shout-out to your mom or dad, or both, or whoever raised you, Sloan? You’re a sharp wit and truly empathetic, thanks for sharing your insights!
👏🏼👏🏼
Hugh is literally old, hard, and cheap.
*was
He sure was hard, he used Viagra.
Hugh Hefner’s behavior seems a lot similar to R Kelly.
Very similar
he got away with so much cause hes a WHITE male
@@sashasai yup! You said it
@@sashasai Exactly!
Glad we all can agree cus they're all the same
I once applied to work for Playboy before Covid. Naively not knowing much about the dark side of playboy. Thankfully I didn’t get a reply. Thank you Sloan for exposing the reality love your videos ❤️
It's not like they were gonna accept u in 🙄🤡
If you’re on planet earth 🌎 you know wtf is up with that mess- stop acting
Being a 24 year old woman is considered “awfully old”? 😳 I swear society doesn’t want women to age past 22 years old, this sort of idea affects beyond playboy….
It's actually really sad. We talked about this in my psychology of women's course. That women LITERALLY EXPIRE at age 30 in the eyes of society. I'm just sickened by all of the implications of this and what it truly means for society
@@aladynamedSusan yeppp and then claim it's "biology" no it ISNT.
It's centuries old GARBAGE
@@meihuangha PRECISELY!
Some men want really young women because they believe they can mold and manipulate them easier than an older woman that's seasoned to the world.
Say Thank you to the USA’s JUNK CULTURE!
When Holly’s book came out, Kendra did not have her back at all, in fact, she came for her jugular! She actually defended Hef and called Holly fake and a liar..That rubbed me the wrong way.
She kept quiet be in his will... the same as Bridget
She was basically a child back then and I think Hef basically paid for her wedding and new reality show as hush money.
I think Hef really helped her and I can see why she is talking from personal experience, especially since he rescued her from poverty so she was very grateful to him. Her life experience is completely different from Holy, however she doesn't seem to notice the bigger picture on how he treated other women or to know about his past; in fact, Holly had been in the mansion two years before she arrived. I get her because she probably feels like she owns him loyalty for what he did... but at the same time just because your personal needs are getting met, that doesn't mean that you shouldn't understand the pain other girls go through. Does she know all the horrible things Hef has done and said about other women after all this time? I think she really doesn't want to think about it. She confessed that he rescued her from drugs (in the reality show), so I can see where she is coming from... but still... she is being stubborn and refuses to acknowledge all the crap Hef has done. For her is "he gave me everything I need it in my life and didn't have to work. How dare you to be ungrateful!!!"
Right! Remember she got married with her now ex husband in the playboy mansion. Which is verrry weird. But maybe Hugh really favors her a lot. So it seems that while she is one of the gfs and still a playboy bunny, Kendra is already messing with other guys. 🙄
@@deedee7780 You can choose to be a sex worker and still be mistreated and exploited. Which all of these women were.
My heart goes out to the lost women who were manipulated into "doing it" with an almost 80 year old. It must have been so degrading.
Sorry but they chose to be with him. They weren't "manipulated".
I could live with degradation but I wouldn't have wanted Hugh, just because.
Manipulated you mean PAID? They decided to do it all for money, no one was forcing them and they were not there for free
They weren't manipulated stop , they made a *choice* . Some women will do ANYTHING for money.
It arguably says more negatively about them than It does him.
He’s disgusting for all the things he did. But that’s their choice. They chose to live that life and work for him.
I’ve become so interested in Playboy’s history lately, and it’s resurgence in the early 2000s. I also grew up watching the Girls Next Door and loved the show. It’s wild to me though that there wasn’t a wider conversation at that time about how creepy the Mansion arrangement was, and how consent shouldn’t be a green light for predatory behavior. Thank you for an awesome, well-researched video!
I highly recommend you check out Holly Madison & Bridget Marquardt's podcast called "Girls Next Level" they provide a lot anecdotes and insight of their time at the Mansion and starring in the reality show "The Girls Next Door" 🐰 💖
yessss, i also recommend Secrets of Playboy in prime video!
Thx😊😊❤❤❤❤
That finally confirms my disgust with "playboy". I could never understand how it could be women empowering by doing exactly what misogynistic men want.
I think just because they were making their own money and didn't have to ask their husband for it.
exactly frrr
If they were in control they could do it. Big difference.
@@LoneLee2022 care to explain?
@@kyleemeg2171 If they were calling the shots and not being used.
Now I get why my mom, when she worked at the playboy club, seemed miserable. She left me in care of family for 6 months or so at age 5 so she could go to Japan to train bunnies when the club was started there. She really needed that money and going to Japan was a dream for her. She died at 50- about 20 years ago- and thank you for this video. You led me to forgive a lot of things on basis of insight and understanding.
I’m sorry for you loss, but I can tell she was trying her best to give you the life you deserved.
Wow, she died so young. I am sorry for your loss.
Sorry for your loss.
So sorry your mom passed so young I'm 50 myself
@@janettejones424 thank you! It’s been 20 years now, I can’t believe it. My sister keeps a picture of her, made for the club, in her living room. I won’t- knowing what I know now. I keep her miss teenage America pics out tho. I’m 51 now myself! Same age as you! I don’t feel older at all, I feel the same as I did at 30.
RIP to all early 2000’s young adults with playboy bunny tattoos 💀
I don't know why, but I had a playboy t-shirt at the age of 9........ WTF!!!!
@Brichanise Terrell Ma’am, I’m atheist. Nice try.
Fr, my mom has one😭
we're not dead lol
I used to be obsessed with the perfumes when i was a teenager, why did my mom even let me watch the show?
Thank you Sloan! I’ve been so tired of people claiming that Playboy and Hugh were great for women’s empowerment. All of the abuse and exploitation is masked in this so called sexual liberation of women.
I completely agree. Sex work is celebrated and glamorized today when the reality of it is incredibly dangerous. It’s not liberating at all.
I absolutely feel the same!!!
@@HelloListenGoodbye absolutely it can be so dangerous for women and a lot of it is connected to human trafficking!!!
@@yukijames1321 i mean it can only been sexual liberation if we as women do it by ourself and because we want it not because of some men's busisnes are behind of it, that's why in the march for the internacional woman's day there's a lot of naked ones because our bodies are not shown for the plesure of others and it is in fact our decision to show it.
But yeah deffinetly when some famous people try to sell this empower woman fecade it's already descalificate as someone part of the movement because actually they used it only for busisnes, You know like Cardi B showing her body or even Lizo who try to sell this "body positive" image and how now the whole model industry try to act like they support the body positive movement when they still have the most skiniest and well paid woman as the supermodels ones, you know celebrities and the industry in general use this kind of movements only to sell. That's when we need to separate the things
There was sex at the Playboy mansion...dirty sex....shocker. Women don't take accountability for anything
Honestly High Hefner creating the culture and brand that he did and it being so normalized and accepted makes me understand why people like RKelly did what they did. Hugh definitely glamorized this whole idea of playboy and honestly wrote the playbook of brainwashing and manipulation for a lot of people to try and replicate
Great point!
Umm idk r Kelly did what he did cause he was sick minded himself. I don’t think anyone paved a way for him to be a pedophile. Idk could correspond but he was harming children cause that’s what he wanted to do himself
Free the goat r kelly
When i Was in school, i was always so weirded out by other girls wearing "Playboy" Merch, their parents buying them bedsheets with the Logo, i always found it disgusting. When a horseriding Trainer of mine had a "Playboy" Sticker on his car recently, i instantly got a Bad vibe from it.
High?
So fascinating...I had no idea about any of this. Hugh buying a grave next to Marilyn Monroe, when never having met her, is super creepy :S. This video was super illuminating...growing up, I always thought the women of the Playboy mansion had it made.
15:33 The way he described bunnies made me want to hide rabbits from him. I wouldn't want some guy thinking about rabbits in that kind of gross, sexual light. If an animal runs away, it probably doesn't like you. Saying that fearful rabbits are akin to human girls is so disgusting. Like bro, let the girl run away, let the bunny run away, and idk, get a heart attack and die. Or die of E coli. That works for me.
I literally came across your comment right when he was reading it.. Hugh was GROSS🥴
9 lo I
I don’t doubt the need to hide your rabbits from him! Did you see the YT video of that creepy guy feeling up his cat’s haunches and letching on the poor cat? If not, you’re luckier than I am.
he probably got e. coli from all that dog shit in the carpet
@@brittaolson6550 oh God!! Lol. Where can I find that video?
Don't forget Brooke Shields, she was 10 when hef had her on PB magazine. 10 YEARS OLD. The photos are on UA-cam and online.
Edit: I forgot to mention Eva Ionesco who was 11 (1976) at the time, who got published on PB as well. The reason I mentioned both of them is because at 20:30, he mentioned how the last of underage models were published before 1967?! Yeah, Hef didn't stop there. The monster got his way and it's sad that no one's held accountable. These grown women knew what type of person he was and chose to be exploited for fame and money......
Why are you telling us where the photos are. . .
@@chloemadden4026 You seem more disturbed by a stranger's comment than the actual fact of it being out there ONLINE where you exist. Lol
@@chloemadden4026 because they are online?
He already covered that when he made a video about her
He already made a video on her awhile back
It’s so creepy to me how obsessed he was with Monroe. The whole series of the girls next door I was under the impression that they had met and it was just his love for old Hollywood. Now I’m like ew, what a freaking creeper! They never even met! He’s so gross. And Sloan said this right as I’m typing it 😂
Yes and now poor Marilyn has to lie next to his creeper ass for the rest of eternity. She deserves better!
The fact that he's buried next to her and everything really is weird. He was a stranger to her.
Is not an obsession, necessary. It is a brainwash program.
@@d.i.1158 Brainwash Program? Can u elaborate pls?
@@d.i.1158 what are you talking about? He was obsessed so much he made holly dress similar. It’s so creepy!
With him graduating with a degree in psychology, makes it more disturbing.
Very interesting Marilyn Monroe told the Photographer her name was “Mona Monroe” instead. If Britney Spears and Marilyn are distant cousins, and people say they look so much alike. When Britney dresses up like Marilyn they have a scary resemblance. “Mona Lisa” is Britney’s alter ego. This is so deep wow lol. Britney Jean Spears. Marilyn Monroe’s real name was Norma jeane wowwww

In 1973 I was 9 years old. Our neighbor was a playboy model. She saw me playing in the lobby and asked my mom if I could play with her daughter. She was the kindest, loving, and most wonderful person. She took her daughter and I to the Miami playboy club during the day, it was amazing. Her mom was playmate of the year.
I lost contact with my friend until about 1998. Come to find out, we both moved to California, and about 15 miles away from each other. I never saw anything bad, but I was only 9 years old.
***edit ***
When I said,
"She took her daughter and I to the Miami playboy club during the day"
I assumed everyone knew the playboy club was closed during the day.
Uhhhhh, what was a 9 year old doing at the Playboy club?
The 80s70: pedosss
Yeah sorry but that isn’t appropriate at all I do t think. I’m glad you have good memories though x
It's strange that she would take a 9 year old with her to work... especially a workplace of such nature. And if you weren't taken there during official hours of business, why was she there? I'm glad you have positive memories, but it was inappropriate for her to take children into a predatory environment.
@@teresachapman205 she probably let them go, because they asked to visit the playboy club weird but idk
The fact that he published pics of Marilyn without her consent and is now resting for eternity next to her makes me want to vomit.
My opinion is they're just lifeless bodies now part of the dirt, nothing more. I'm not a believer in religion or spiritualism. They are reminders of a representation they left behind. Monroe left a great legacy. Hefner leaves as a lowest of the low monster.
Creeps now post private sex tapes to the internet. Ask Paris and Kadashiound
He didn’t need her consent because she signed a model release giving up all rights. That’s why you need to be careful about what you sign.
@jemini I respect that opinion even if I disagree with you. I also do not see any point in him having a tombstone, but perhaps he really did think ppl would mourn him. He basically ran a thing he had no care about in abusing.
@No One God's word tells us one must be born again in order to see enter the kingdom of God. I am sad to say hell is very much of a real place. We have a choice to accept God's gift of salvation or not. We have fallen short of God's glory no one is good but only God. We are born with a sinful nature all of us. I did not mean to sound like some preacher but eternity in heaven and hell does exist. Seek truth while you still can. John 14:6
Brooke shields posted for playboy underaged as well. I believe she was like 10 when she did. It sick that her mother and the photographer were ok with it
Talk about Paige Young too, who a Playmate in the 60s. They way she killed herself & how her body was found are extremely wild. She had a bunch of pics of Hefner in her room & they all had “Hugh Hefner is the devil” on them.
She warned us :(
WoW!
My grandmother had a daughter prior to meeting my horrific grandfather in the late 50s. I never met my aunt until i was an adult because she had been a runaway at 15 when my grandfather escalated his abuse to r*pe. She was unfortunately swept up to be a playboy bunny, having had nowhere to go and being in such a vulnerable state. She refuses to talk about her experiences as a bunny, so i imagine it was worse than being r*ped by her stepfather. Just awful.
Wow
I hope your Aunt found some peace in her life.
glorified predatory and misogynistic behaviour at its finest and tbh I think that if a guy did this today, there will be ppl defending and glorifying him just like that. There would be more backlash than before but misogyny is so deeply ingrained in society that ppl will see it as fine and just “rich people things”
Well I think Dan Bilzerian kinda did something like that, except that he is obviously out of his mind... But that's the first man that came to my mind reading your comment
😂😂😂
...at its worst...
I’m sure misogyny is a result of revolution of how society became resulted from being a agriculture society from a Hunter & Gatherer when it comes to the idea of going through the idea of fighting over the acres of land & making so much when it comes to men being able to get away with abusing their wives through s3xual exploitation.
Girls wearing the "Bunny Suit" were not allowed to sit down. I even remember en episode of The Girls Next Door where Holly decided to suit up and she was dying by the end of the day, you could see the pain on her face and she could barely speak because of the pain, let alone walk.
IIRC, Brooke Shields was even younger than 16 when she was posted in Playboy. It’s sick.
10. She was 10 in one of playboy's publications called Sugar& Spice
@@ririimari 🤮😥
It’s pure sick p****** and that’s that. Makes me sick
The 70’s was so scary to believe they thought that was okay back then
🤮
I feel like Kendra stood up for Hef after Holly’s book debuted because Kendra was the youngest upon entering the playboy mansion (out of the three playmates featured in the reality show). She was only 18 and fresh out of high school. She was brainwashed by Hef and essentially grew into adulthood under his control. She probably has some trauma from that.
Stockholm syndrome
I don't think she was there as long as the other girls were, she married Hank after like 4/5 years of living in the mansion if I recall correctly. Besides, just because someone has a good experience doesn't mean everyone's bad experiences are invalidated, even the devil has his favourites.
She was also very naive, young, and quite frankly not too bright- a predator's dream. I worked in strip clubs for years and the people in charge all acted like they were a small time Hef. The young, uneducated girls were walking targets. Those of us who knew how to handle ourselves weren't immune to lies and manipulation- but we sidestepped more than they did. And you could never try to help those girls- they'd been told that we were all "so jealous" and "wished we were them".
A dirty, trashy, scummy line of work indeed. Reading Holly's book, nothing shocked me- the cattiness, the backstabbing, the STDs, rampant drug abuse... It's nice to see this whole industry catching way overdue hell.
She was also under the same production umbrella so it was all about 💰
They still made the choice to do this on their own , It's not always the case that they're "brainwashed" , they know what the're doing and what they hope It'll do for them.. not saying that dosen't happen.
I read that Marilyns ex Joe wanted to buried next to Marilyn but Hugh refused to let Joe(Marilyns love) to rest next to his love.
So fucked up! Joe should be by Marilyn ! Freaking creepy
Joe DiMaggio was a domestic abuser, that's why she divorced him

Poor Marilyn! Having this sick man next to her grave is not what she would wanted. Hope she won’t ever have to meet him in her next life.
I believe Marilyn Monroe was MK Ultra victim as was Anna Nicole Smith. You may know but look at the tragic life of Dorothy Stratton. All these women used and tossed out. And promoted as such that women thought it was an honor to be in Playboy.
Not only was she Monarch & Beta programmed she was called the "first presidential model"

If you think Elizabeth Roberts was bad....Brooke Sheilds. 10.
We still have ways to go for true equality, but it truely shows us that we HAVE moved forward. When I was growing up, questioning Playboy made you a prude, pathetic, jealous, girls would proudly wear the bunny gear. I am so happy that people see it for what it is now. Those girls deserved better.
Amen.

Kink culture nowadays will be seen in 20 years the same way as Playboy is seen now in retrospect. It's so easy to re-brand exploitation as liberation and call criticism prudeness!
There's no such thing as equality. We can't beat them we can only join them at play thier own game to the best of our advantage and beat them that way.

You are just a person who chooses to live digging through trash and claims they prefer it that way. You are not empowered or cunning, you are just a cog in the machine. It's pretty sad.
Hugh always seemed toxic to me, like he really thought he was God’s gift to women and that’s why he always had to be around so many of them. It always seemed like they were just accessories to his ego. Glad they got away & have their own lives now, they were all so lovely in their own way and deserved much better.
A gross old man preying on young women is always toxic. Idk how any of those girls pretended to love him. Everytime they kissed him it was just so cringe.
The fact how he described the girl-next-door type as young, simple, clean and stupid versus woman whom would be the oposite and hard to control.
Sloan, you keep it so real! thank you for bringing these things to light. I am disgusted by the things that society not only accepts, but pushes upon everyone else when enough money is involved. This "man" was a criminal and society is all "yaayyy...it's hef" "what a pimp"........just NASTY
I worked with a nurse who used to dance on stiletto heels at the bunny club in Atlantic City. She ruined her arches and was never able to dance again. I think she sued. She went nursing school and married one of our doctors. She’s in her sixties now and she’s still pretty and a good nurse to boot
A well done report Sloan... The "using her Photos thing" happened to Suzanne Somers as well. and many more girls.
True
Sloans longer videos>>
Hit different
Does anyone else remember that one episode of KUWTK in the first or second season Kim was gonna do just a lingerie shoot cause she didn’t wanna do full nude cause of the Ray Jay video but Heff called her back and said she had to do it and he WON her over saying Marylin was his first model it’s crazy to know now he was just lying to get her to do it, it kinda shows how he ran his business too pressuring woman like that
YESSS OMG HE KEPT WANTING HER TO SHOE MORE!
Great point. I just remembered.
It's from this shoot that comes the "you're doing amazing sweety" lol
@Kristin Roberson kris made me mad with that whole thing too, she always made her girls do overly sexual things, or at least pushed them in that direction for money. Sloan should do a video on Kris Jenner.
What kind of mom roots her daughter on and congratulates her for being nude for a magazine...oh I forgot. She gets 10% of Kim's earnings!!
Hef might have his physical body buried next to Marilyn ...but I'm pretty sure they are NOT residing in the same afterlife🤣
Ouch, lol
And I'm assuming Marilyn is in heaven right. Cause I can't take less than that ok
@@lur3950 hopefully, however she was affiliated with Anton Levy or something who started the satanic church. I sure hope Hef went to hell but Marilyn..... I genuinly hope not, she was controlled
@Jessica Jones Being victimized versus doing the victimizing is a big difference. So I guess you're throwing dirt on her name cuz you know for sure which one she was? Your casual judgment is cruel and cowardly.
@Jessica Jones I guess your a damn wizard since you witnessed, "most of Hollywood" sleeping with Marilyn🤣 Rumors don't equal facts. I'm not a big fan. I just don't like it when people who read tabloids think they know a celebrity well enough to make harsh statements about their personal life.
Brooke shields was 10 when she was featured in playboy
My head hurts thinking Marilyn got only 50 dollars for THAT. I mean I haven't seen something so mesmerizing and now that I know she wasn't even consenting for that pictures to be on cover is just sickening
@beth T yeah but compared to what the photographer and the magazine earned selling her image, 50 dollars was a pittance
she consented by accepting the money
@@brucenadeau2172 taking the money doesn't mean that she was okay with it at all. They were going to publish those photos despite the fact that she didn't consent, so she might as well get what compensation she could. Accepting money isn't a yes, only a yes can be a yes
that would’ve been almost $600 today
She signed a model’s release in 1949. Marilyn was a prolific model and knew that the photos could and likely would be sold. A nude calendar came out in 1950 and the pics were already well known when Heff published them in his mag in Dec 1953. Marilyn wasn’t bothered by it. The STUDIOS were. She actually wanted to keep copies to show her grandkids one day. There’s interviews where she talks about it. Lol
Sloan you should talk about the director of Jeepers creepers, Victor Salva. He's done really horrible things.
Omg YES!! NOBODY TALKS ABOUT HIM. It's so weird!
Wait what?! I didn't know about this. Used to watch Jeepers Creepers alllll the time. That shit terrified me as a kid lol. I'm going to have to read up on this. Thanks for sharing
Yes!
Yes I vote for this topic.
Omg what did he do!!! 😦
Marilyn deserves someone to tell her story. Like who came in and killed babygirl? because she had projects on the table. Seems very suspicious
So fun fact: my mom actually went to Hugh Hefner’s high school in Chicago, and saw his daughter Christie on a couple of occasion cuz Hugh would make donations. She said Christie carried herself well and seem to know what she wanted in her life.

Wow! The amount of victim blaming on this video is astonishing!!
Usually the comments here are so nice and supportive.
But now you're all victim blaming.
"Oh they can always leave!" But you guys usually say "it's really hard for a victim to leave an abusive relationship!'
THIS ISNT ANY DIFFERENT BECAUSE THE WOMEN ARE BEAUTIFUL AND GOT PAID.
Edit: just wanna say thank you Sloan! You are the kindest guy I've seen. And thanks to all the people in this community who are understanding and stick up for people when something isn't right.
Because there's a huge difference. The girls knew what they were getting into & chose to live that lifestyle. Abuse victims don't know the dynamics of that situation before getting into it. These girls knew what they were there for & decided it was a good idea at the time. Yes, I can understand them changing their views as they got older, but you can't blame Hugh for them choosing to be there.
I 100% agree. Almost most of these woman only did it just to make a living. It’s not their fault and they shouldn’t be blamed. Even if they injected their lives into this life style. That doesn’t make it okay.
Anddddd they usually say that sex work is empowering to women when really you’re just supporting the patriarchy by doing exactly what they want you to do. You can’t have it both ways. Men that want to just use your body will never respect you and they aren’t good guys that will treat you right. Men like this will always exist and women will continue to choose them as long as they can hide behind the crutch of “I’m just a victim” in society. At some point they have to be held accountable for their own choices yet every person that is quick to call them victims doesn’t realize that they just make women look stupid, weak and easily manipulated cuz we’re constantly victims. We need to hold more people accountable. Otherwise this will just continue being a vicious cycle.
I would love to say I'm shocked, but I'm not. Our culture is rooted in shaming women, and I sadly don't expect people to be educated and compassionate. I expected a bunch of victim blaming and misogyny and people delivered.
@@eartheatsyou2589 Look at you contributing to the problem.
You spilled SOOO much ☕️ 🫖
playboy has ALWAYS creeped me tf out... finally somebody said it
I have read all the books. I don't care about Kendra being mad at Holly she needs to grow up. Holly was there long long long before. Seniority always takes the cake. Kendra doesn't realize though i love all three of them, Kendra doesn't realize that her own first book only confirms Holly's experience. But ya what do you expect to happen? A billionaire sugar daddy that expects alot in return.
💯💯💯
Never liked Kendra
Always Team Holly
this is completely unimportant and you are missing the point
I agree. I respect Kendra has her side of things but I don't think so much heat should of been on Holly. I really liked Holly I had no idea the mansion was like this.
He wasn’t a billionaire ahah
I have a rabbit and we clean his living space daily. These ladies were treated like less than animals.
Sloan is everything ❤️❤️❤️ so much love from Houston
@keep rollin lmao
We need to know more about Jill Ann Spaulding, it looks like she got murdered
Bunny cages aren’t dirty! Actually rabbits are some of the cleanest little fellas ever!
The dirty-ness is the laziness of a human provider… just like hefff
Exactly and I say the same thing about my cat, their is no such thing as a nasty/disgusting pets only nasty pet owners who neglected their pet
Sorry but they just literealy shit all over the room and you have to clean it up. They are not clean
We’ve had bunnies and currently have one. He does use his litter box but he does like to leave little poops all over. But overall I’d say they are pretty clean.
I read Holly's book years ago and it sounded like a horrible time. The mansion was dirty and ugly unlike how it was portrayed on tv 🤢
W/ $4,000 a mo. It seems that the girls were just lazy. If U can’t clean ur own sheets , cook or buy a new mattress. 😂😂😂
Right after that issue came out with madona, I was listening to her on the radio live and when she came out they chanted TAKE IT OFF TAKE IT OFF. she told the crowd..I AINT TAKEN $HIT OFF
I imagine Bridget's experience was a lot different than the other girls. She was hired by Hef when she was older. So for her.... she knew what this exchange was. There is a BIG difference between 30 and 18 years of age. Grooming is a real thing and it is 100% abuse. I think that's why Holly had more trauma. She grew up and realized an old man had tricked her and manipulated her. There are NO mature women that are going to allow an old man to give them a 9 pm curfew, forbid them to flirt with other men while he f**ks everyone without a condom, and all kinds of dumb stuff. You know who is easy to trick and manipulate? Teenagers. That's why grooming is against the law. That's why Hef went for 18 year olds vs 28 year olds. They're easier to abuse.
Maybe for some people Quaaludes get you in the mood but for a lot of people it just makes them unconscious so that's very creepy
Last year I stayed at one of Hefner Playboy Plaza Hotels on Miami Beach’s Collins Avenue in Miami. Unaware that this please have any affiliations to Hugh Hefner. Something about that hotel had me feeling eerie and sinister. I kept having visions of Colt-type rituals involving women, even in my dreams. Only to find out the night before checkout. That this hotel once belonged to Hugh Hefner.
Many, many years ago, I had a very heated argument with Hugh Hefner about misogyny and sexism and feminism and the guy actually told me that he was responsible for women's liberation. I was so mad. And the bunnies came after me. But yeah, this guy was such a tool, and that's being kind, that he really believed he liberated women.
Many women believe he liberated them too but it’s the opposite really. They were just brainwashed into thinking they weren’t doing exactly what the patriarchy wanted them to.
@@eartheatsyou2589 Exactly.
No he was not. Delusional.
Thats so sick. I myself used to be sexualized by guys who descriped it as being sexually open. I felt like I wasn't more than someone you can have sex with. I also saw a pattern of using drugs to lighten the mood with them. When I stopped bc my boundaries were met I was told I was being unreasonable. Its just so sick.
That’s so cool that you were in a position to discuss that with him candidly! Are you a journalist? I’d love to see video of that if one exists. I like to watch all the older footage of journalists (and regular people too) tearing into him.
Holly actually said that no one wanted to be the main girlfriend, because too much responsibility and confinement came with that role
That’s probably why the girl’s would give the main girlfriend lot’s of gift’s cause they knew that she needed some sort of compensation cause they certainly didn’t want to do it!
It's called "Playboy" for goodness sake what did these women expect ? To be treated like counselors for example ?!
I am just going to add, that I was a mental health counselor for close to 20 years. The amount of sexual abuse is so rampant, it became, almost "normal" during my tenure. The first time I encountered it, I felt like I encountered evil first hand, but later I learned it was everywhere. I know a gentleman that is autistic that was sexually abused also, and it is just so sad. It is prevalent. Also, in my job, some people had 4 abortions and more(not judging), but a lot of stuff. God help us heal.
Wow. I don’t doubt it. I completely believe you. I know more individuals in my life who were sexually abused in some form or fashion - (typically by someone that they knew and trusted) - then people, who haven’t been abused at all. To go your whole life without being sexually abused, violated, or assaulted, is nearly rare. Statistics say that 1 and 4 girls will be sexually abused, at least once, in their lifetime. But I actually don’t believe that. Those are the only based off of the statistics that are REPORTED. Imagine the amount of sexual abuse cases around the world, that never get reported. I imagine the statistics around the world would be more closely align to 3 out of 4 girls.
Anyone who abuses a child - especially sexually, should be charged with attempted murder, in my opinion. Because that’s actually what happens. The perpetrator(s) murder the person you could have been. You feel unlovable, unworthy, tainted, broken - you feel like you’re damaged goods. It warps and distorts your entire sense of sex and intimacy, and shatters every aspect of your life.
Hugh has ruined so many life’s it’s just sick that he never went to jail for it and the fact he had an empire on using young women sometimes underaged is disgusting I hope the women affected by him are doing better now
There is where Bill Cosby learned to drug women. He was there all the time…
I feel like everything from his estate should go to women’s organizations that protect women’s rights and provide assistance for them to prevent them from being taken advantage of
Agreed
It’s a great idea.
I love you for calling all of this out!! I'm no prude, but I feel like my life as a woman has been worse bc of Hugh's life on this planet.
Whoever sent the The package at the end that was so sweet. They weren't even trying to promote their business or anything. Just a simple Thankyou to someone they obviously watch a lot and appreciate. Pretty cool to see. AND who can't use some organizers...Smart gift!😊
I honestly love how detailed you were and how you brought facts to the table. I honestly was a BIG FAN of playboy when I was younger and i then a couple years later started modeling myself bikini, lingerie etc. and playboy was a big inspo for me. Now knowing the backstory to all this im completely shocked!! Def not what the media and tv show made it out to be.
If you don’t know about Dorothy Stratton you should look into it! She was underage when Hugh discovered her. Dorothy was murdered by her estranged husband that was jealous that Hugh wouldn’t let him come around anymore. The murder happened in 1980. They even made a movie about Dorothy. She wanted OUT of playboy so she could Act in some movies.
Very good video, Sloan! I thought I knew this story but learned a lot I didn’t know. I’m so creeped out by his obsession with Marilyn, even after her death! Like, buying the crypt next to her is a whole new level of low. Let the woman Rest In Peace! 😢
Endless love and respect for you Sloan!! Thanks for this summary!!
I think Brook Shields was a centerfold when she was only 10 or 11 in 1973 or 1974.
I was born in ‘98 and grew up in a more conservative household. my dad never had playboys, and by the time my brother hit puberty, the internet had its more than fair share of “smut”, if you will. I never saw playboy magazines or even really knew what the playboy mansion was…thank you for doing this video. this is all absolutely mind boggling
My dad had a porno tape. It still shocks me to this day! They took my house phone away and I was searching for it, and found that Instead.
Was the 🐁 sticky?
I always got a creepy vibe from Hef and it was clear playboy is just a legal brothil. He preyed on young girls who were desperate.
The gross sound affects you made cracked me up
Remember seeing popular bunny costume on tumblr or Instagram, young teenagers dressing playb*y outfit on Halloween thinking it’s a trend in 2010-13. I’m glad ppl finally see the dark secrets behind playb*y!
THANK YOU LITERALLY NO ONE TALKS ABOUT THE MINORS HE LET BE PRINTEDDDDD...AND THE FACT THAT YOU CAN STILL BUY THOSE ISSUES ON AMAZONNNN
The gag made me die laughing when you were reading “**her daddy** lmao 😂 because same
There's nothing wrong with sex. But he was obsessed with it. He encouraged men to go astray from their wives and families. I never thought he was all that great
“Which, I guess, everyone has a book?” I loled 🤣
So far I'm loving the video! I think Hugh chose the bunny aspect because he likes his women to be fearful yet loving and sweet. Easy pray, he wanted easy pray..
None of these women were kidnapped and forced to be at the Playboy mansion. All of them willingly went and willingly stayed. The Privilege is so disgusting here I can’t. 🤦🏾♀️
@Ruby Ramirez I'm not saying that they liked it but when I was young and homeless, a very old man offered to help me, seemingly out of pity. But as soon as he made a move on me, I went back out into below freezing temperatures, not caring whether I died on the street or not. And I don't think these girls were all in a life or death situation.
@Ruby Ramirez Not everybody minds.
Yup! But look at r kelly
@@tjj6362 Are you telling the commenter that R. Kelly's accusers went to him, willingly, but yet were still victims of his, nevertheless? 🤔
@@freshstart2105 lol honey they did it willingly for money
I know one of the playmates of the year. Sweetest girl you’d ever meet! Never asked her about it though.
To Hugh, they were toys... not people. They were living dolls to be manipulated, used, played with... and discarded. They weren't worthy of respect or dignity...
This is so crazy! The other day I literally was searching for videos that talked about the dark past of Playboy mansion.
I love how guys say sexism doesn't exist anymore or women have more rights when just 10 years ago this was all going on 😐
It's not that men have more rights than women. I'll agree they did not that long ago. It's that the rich have way more rights than anyone. The average man in todays world atleast in the usa has no more rights than a average woman. Honestly we all get screwed over by the rich regardless of gender.
Thank you Sloan for being a strong voice for people who become exploited by people who are more powerful than them. For defending them. BTW your sweater looks great! Bring out your eyes.
YES to a video about Marilyn! You have such an insightful view of things and I would love to hear your take on everything
Heff was such a giant freaking creep
Please someone correct me if I’m wrong but I swear there was a (I feel gross typing this) topless photoshoot of a 10 YEAR OLD for playboy. I so hope that I’m very wrong coz it’s disturbing to even think about.
😂 WoW that would be really sick.
True. It was Brooke Shields.
Thank you for talking about this Sloan. ❤ This guy always turned my stomach and he seemed to get applauded for it. I remember when he died and people were calling him him a legend. For what? Being sexist and disgusting. Great topic!
I’m glad you’ve touched on this. I never understood the appeal of Playboy and thought that the concept was disgusting.
