- #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.
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!
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
Let's not forget Hugh had a separate magazine that was basically Playboy with little girls and Brooke Shields posed for it when she was only 10 or 11.. I know Sloan already spoke about that in his video about Brooke's past but I'm sure a good amount of people who watch this video probably didn't know that.
I was thinking the same thing.
@@JennaIsOverIt I belive he said in the other video Sugar and spice
Horrific. God bless you 🙏🏻
Count Dankula’s statement “Jimmy Savile playboy mansion” seems somewhat realistic
Yes!!!!!
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 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤦♂️
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
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!
👏🏼👏🏼
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
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
How can a man who has a mansion with attractive women and exploits them for their attractiveness ever be a good person . Like there is litreally no way
Tahisha Jain Stop being so simple minded . These girls willingly prostituted themselves and now they are playing the victim's role
@@christiansoldier77 you’re a boy huh
Yeah reading the title of the video I was like "can Playboy even have anything besides a dark side?"
@@christiansoldier77 Absolutely. Even as a teen, I knew being one of Hugh Hefner's "girlfriends" meant being paid to sleep with him.
They flocked to him knowing this could be their chance to possibly become rich and famous (or at least live in a mansion and have everything paid for ) and he know they were only around him for that reason and did not care because it helped his image as the ultimate Play Boy.
So true. You said all.
The fact the broke shields was just 10 years old when she was in playboy…it’s so sad
Learn to listen 🤡
Don't forget Brooke Shields, she was 10 when hef had her on PB magazine. 10 YEARS OLD. The photos are on RUclips 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
I recently re-watched "The girls next door" and it is so disturbing watching it in 2021. The whole show is messed up, the power dynamics between the girls and Hef is insane - he pays all their bills and provides them with food and shelter. So the girls couldn't exactly not do whatever he tells them to do. And then when the girls went to Vegas and Holly had to report back to Hef 24/7 and they had to get back home at a certain time. All their interactions with Hef were so icky.
Yeah, I though they are happy, but it was more like hostage situation. Good old days... This show was creepy asf
Yess! I loved the show when it first came out and I bought the whole series but watching it now you can see the manipulation
I have them all on dvd and it’s so sad to watch
Agree! How different it looks now😞
My mother claims to KNOW he's in hell 😅
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?
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😊😊❤❤❤❤
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
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?
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!
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
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.
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.
Hey there, you are very well spoken :-) I’m an army veteran, and now a truck driver out here on the roads of Virginia, and I really enjoy listening to your stories, thanks for the hard work and great videos and many more to come😉👍👍👍
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.
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
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
OMG lately I've become addicted to your content, I literally LOOOVEEE your commentaries and fluent storytelling soo muchhh. Thanks for the hard work and dedication
You can tell how obsessed he was with Monroe. Girls had blonde hair.
He also bought the burial lot next to Marilyn ... I read it and thought ewww how creepy
@@anneblubaugh58 uh what😭
Wouldn't be surprised if he was intimate with an actual bunny n into necrophilia 🤮
And the girls had to dye it platinum blonde and 1x week to keep it up. Horrible
And the thing was Marilyn wasn’t even a natural blonde 🙄🤦🏾♀️
Hugh is literally old, hard, and cheap.
*was
He sure was hard, he used Viagra.
I think Bridgette doesn't feel as strong a need to write about her experience because I always got the feeling that she knew what she was there for. She wanted to be a playmate, she always talked about wanting to have a fun life and to be in entertainment. She didn't ever really talk about being "in love" with Hef. I think Holly had to convince herself she loved him to make it worth it, and Kendra felt she had to be loyal to him for providing her a certain lifestyle. But I think Bridgette knew and accepted she was there for business, just my opinion, not sure how true that is.
Yea I used to watch the show they had and she always seemed thirsty to become a playmate and to be in the magazine she even cried cuz she wasn’t as skinny as the other two lol
YES!! I think you nailed it! I also think, that one can’t say that Hef “exploited” these girls, and then in another breath be supportive of sex workers and their careers. It’s the same thing, they are both doing a sexual job for payment. Both women are being exploited in my opinion!
Very good theory! I agree.
Yes I think you're exactly right, although I also think Kendra thought this will be fun for a few years. But I always felt sad for Holly she seemed to be the only one who loved Hef and talked about it, like I think (maybe she even said it) that she wanted the other girls to get bored and leave and she would stay and they would get married. While I believe things she's said (and we all know what kinds of things go on in there) I also keep reservations when hearing stories from a scorned woman talking about an ex.
Thing is I struggle when it comes to the playboy girls like how much are they accepting of because they think it will help them (so they consent to everything) and how much is him using his position over them and controlling them? I find it a struggle when talking about this place.
Bridgette was also older, she also pushed to get some education out of her time there. She knew what she wanted and knew being with him could get her what she wanted.
An education, time and contacts in the right industry, plus a cuishy life.
Thank you for this. I never understood why some people thought or think of Hefner as a God when he was clearly a predator.
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!
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.
Holly wrote in her book that “some of the girls smoked meth” it sounds like the mansion was a crack house.
🤦🏾♀️😬🙄
Damn. That place made them hate themselves, all of that regret made them addicts.
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.
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
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
Any videos on this? I've never heard this before. Interesting. I love all three.

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.
You spilled SOOO much ☕️ 🫖
This is what we call in the streets being “pimped”. Hugh was a white man pimping these girls out, but the way it was glorified in the media is beyond me. I love your videos Sloan I’ve been watching them at work all morning. Thank you for your hard work and empathizing with these women💕
But that was what they wanted they wanted to be exploited, the mansion been around for years it ain’t like it was a surprise they get no sympathy hell R Kelly in jail now for damn near the same shit n Heff died a happy man so fuck what these white girls been through only difference is they were legal
@@qdontae6 you may as well 'cut & paste'.. same 💩 you keep spewing. This deviant had the 💰to cover his crime's (and YES, white privilege).. doesn't make it right. Hefner and R Kelly should've BOTH been incarcerated. These young women MAY have been seeking fame and fortune, but I don't think they signed up for this 💩
Nothing wrong with being a white man. Just means you’re light skinned. And for some reason that triggers people. Just wanted to clear it up
What's Really Disturbing is that A Lot of them weren't "pimped"... they were Volunteers that felt "Empowered" just because they were photographed nude. Disgusting.
The media's glorification of all this makes us have to ask, what else are they blatantly misinforming us about.
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!!!!

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.
Why do so many elements of Hef's story sound a LOT like R. Kelly's? Kellz was just going after kids (too). SMH
Kelly based his "empire" on Hefner's "playboy legacy" he's said something along those lines before
It was always so bizarre to me growing up how praised he was. Every straight guy saw him as a "pimp" and a God. He was such a creep to me and I hated how celebrated he was. His selling point was how the girls are smart and some working or going to school, like he was doing them favors. But he was using them. Grooming them. So gross.
Sloan is everything ❤️❤️❤️ so much love from Houston
@keep rollin lmao
Brookye Shields was on PlayBoy. She was the younges Playmate ever. I believe she was 10 years old.
Keep doing this kind of content this needs to be known, people still idolize Hugh Hefner to this day
Sorry but I DO NOT trust anything that Kendra says. I saw an old episode where she told everyone how she was from 'the hood' and when all the playmates and heff went to visit where she was from it was not bad. Also feel like she gave out this fake vibe. She also denied all alligations that where made by Holly. Now she wants to tell her side ?
She always seemed trashy to me 🙃🙃
I always found her so damn obnoxious especially her laugh.
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.
With him graduating with a degree in psychology, makes it more disturbing.
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
🤮
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.
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!!
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
A “Playmate” is a young, big breasted, SIMPLE minded (meaning dumb), “girl next door”. It’s not SOPHISTICATED! Oh gosh no! Sophisticated means having brains, having an opinion. Speaking their minds! We don’t want ANY of THAT!” Is basically what Heff said 😂🤦🏽♀️
Yup
💀💀💀💀we don’t want nun of that😂💀
lol it’s called playmate duh !!!! Lmao 😂😂😂
This was one of the most in depth videos about this - Sloan keeping us knowledgeable
Hey Sloan! Think you could look into these parties Hefner threw in the 70s called pig parties? Maybe you could also cover the new docuseries airing on A&E “Secrets of Playboy”? Thanks for covering this impartially and share the horrors that really went on behind the scenes.
Sloan’s disgust reading the book made me crack up!!!
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
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!!! 😦
Endless love and respect for you Sloan!! Thanks for this summary!!
Thank you for this 🙏🤍
Sloan I was friends with the daughter of the first Chief Executive, when they had the first Madame to recruit and guide the girls. They intentionally would go into small towns and try and recruit girls from broken homes that seemed to need a lot of attention and they would recruit them from the small town areas knowing that the girls would then become more sexually active with the attention they received. It was my ex roommate an old lady who was the daughter of the chief executive of Playboy. She sent me via email many black and white photos of their first jet and of the first madam with the first recruitment of girls.
It was always their mission to get broken girls for their sexual agenda. It was was written into the business plan.
@@Sofimaia RUclips blocked me from the live chat once I started talking about the cartoonist that they used to have that portrayed children in obscene ways. I was just trying to expose the dark history of Playboy and I got blocked from live chatting.
I found another name that worked with Hefner on quite a few cartoon projects, Harvey Kurtzman. & others that worked with them: Will Elder, Ian Ballantine, Ray Russell. I hope that helps and I will keep researching.
@@sassysamsquantch6178 thank you I appreciate it I was completely blocked from the live chat . . It's good to keep awareness on these things that happened in the past so they can stop glorifying the brand to young girls.
@@johns6454 I was blocked at the end, too.. I think it automatically shuts down the chat 5 minutes after the video ends. (YT does censor though so it's good to keep an eye out) Thank you for exposing these dark truths!
@@Sofimaia they had a cartoonist who would illustrate an uncle's desire for his child age niece and he would make the niece in illustrations do things in compromising positions. It was under the guise of sexual cartoon comedy . They also had a magazine edition at one point that was similar to child erotica they tried to proclaim as art.
It‘s so sad. Their whole lifestyle was so glamorized. I remember when their show the girls next door came out and everyone was obsessed with their Lifestyle and many Girls wanted that Life too. I watched some epidodes from the show a while ago and they were treated so bad and so many ref flags and weird Situations. I‘m so sorry for what these girls went thru and how still people see him as an Icon.
The more we know. The more disgusting it all is!
I still despise him for how he treated Marilyn, and how he bought the plot beside her….gross. I cant wait to forget this man.
Oh I forgot about this. Did he actually end up there?
@@tally6039 yes 😕
@@985Mindy gross 😢
Sloan, good for u on this!!!!
Hey could you consider doing a video on nick cannon? Had 4 babies in a year. He’s going on his way to having a cult himself. He has more maternity photos than album covers
I think he should go wider with this you say. People celebrate that...Drake's album cover brags leaving women pregnant and he didn't recognize his own child. That's what everyone is applauding now
@@ivanco944 drake didn’t choose that cover I believe his label did.
@@ellexo0988 even if it was like that... I don't get why men idolize men for leaving mothers pregnant and not recognizing their children and that's what's reigning in the charts 😐. Let's not even talk about Chris Brown...
@@ivanco944 I don’t think they idolize that lol. It’s more about the “man” having issues and being insecure not being able to step up to their kid. Like drakes situation. He doesn’t love his baby mother but he’s still there stepping up for his kid. These same women have their own issues for laying with rich men.
@@ellexo0988 it's definitely idolized. Yes mommy issues, immaturity etc play a role as well, but there's defintely some idolizing going on! If it wasn't idolized and given positive reinforcements in the media then I bet there wouldn't be so many "men" looking at these clowns like they're the blueprint.
Drake is hella trash, especially after finding out his BM had to flee back to France to be able to keep and have Adonis. Definitely made his album cover that much more distasteful
It blows my mind that people dress up as this for Halloween. So disgusting. Loved this video, def learned a lot!
It. Makes sense now it's a horrific scary job....sounds correct for Halloween 😩
😳I was so stupid when I was a kid...cuz like...I wanted to wear a bunny custome for Halloween and I did wore it. Cuz like I didn't knew what it means. Until now.
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"
Pr0ject Paperclip (for those interested)
Very informative Sloan....thank you...❤️💙🤪
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.
@@ChloeLayneXO ew, I would rather suffer than keep up the systems that oppress myself and others
@@palapeura375 it could be very beneficial if you play it right...better than suffering
@@ChloeLayneXO have fun living a life without dignity and compassion towards those who can't fit the standards of the people in power.
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.
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
Ahhhhh
That is sooo saaad
@@anneblubaugh58
Yeeeeeeeeeeessssss!!!!
@@8thhousemoonrabbit205
Jo Jo don't say that
The victocracy concert is on
You don't want to disturb that
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.
My grandfather just passed, and he left behind a playboy club key. Was one of the first black men to get one.
Oh no.
Sloans longer videos>>
Hit different
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
I also grew up watching girls of the playboy mansion! I loved it, I was so obsessed, especially with Kendra I loved her! It all seemed so glamorous and exciting. It was really weird finding out what it was really like behind the scenes. Brill video Sl04n, as always 💜😁 thankyou
@@lisaswayne8241 lmao trust me as I got older I realised just how gross it was... then I became an adult n worried why younger me idolised it so much. Trust some naaaassstttyyy stuff right there 🤢
@@lisaswayne8241 😬 o God I hate to think about who's been there and what's happened... knowing what I do now about hollyweird. I imagine the models/bunnies, ugh can't believe I just said that, that were shown to the media were just the face of it... legal... even if only just.... back in the day they had underage models in the magazine... so can who knows wtf was happening! 🤢
@@lisaswayne8241 not a clue actually 🤔
@@lisaswayne8241 it was sold to a private buyer who is remodeling the inside but keeping the outside original (from what I have read). It remains a private residence.
A well done report Sloan... The "using her Photos thing" happened to Suzanne Somers as well. and many more girls.
True
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.
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. 😂😂😂
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
You are actually awesome! Well done!
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.
Golden Dream was a calendar. His obsession with Marilyn always bothered me. I don’t know much about him, but I’ve read many books about her. I have nearly all of her movies. She had such a tragic childhood that continued to her adulthood. She was seen as an object and not a person. He contributed to that. It’s sick.
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.
OMG WHATTTT THATS CRAZY
@@amberaguirre7317 ☠️
32:09 WOWZA sister amazing amazing speach! lol 'yeah alright' while looking down... gee wow it's incredibly sad. They never learned to respect
I was watching Holly's videos lately and she is so sweet. It's crazy how times have changed. He would be sued and nothing about his business would be legal. It's sad that he took beautiful girls hardships, for his own personal pleasure. Playboy was a legal brothel, aimed at young girls who had nothing.
Good grief cry me a friggin river. They cashed his checks. They stayed for years. Playboy sold sex. Now, these women are victims. Everyone wants to be a victim today.
@@jonjones7137 I'm not disagreeing that they signed up for it, but Girls Next Door would never fly today. Times have definitely changed and this kind of contract is NOT tolerated now.
@@quinonesgirls705 It would pass...maybe on cable but sex sells. And women are selling it more than ever now.
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!
playboy has ALWAYS creeped me tf out... finally somebody said it
Same here! Like nothing great about it. All it does is degrade women what’s so amazing about it??
Thumbs up for honesty .....thank you
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!😊
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! 😢
I am so glad people are talking about this openly. I remember how people treated women who spoke out with such skepticism in the past.
Will these women do not deserve respect they are cheap just like him they went for him by their choice cor fame and easy money
This is so crazy! The other day I literally was searching for videos that talked about the dark past of Playboy mansion.
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.
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.
the whole playboy mansion situation sounds like the forbiden city and the emperors concubines
YES to a video about Marilyn! You have such an insightful view of things and I would love to hear your take on everything
