Anyone watching Secrets of Playboy on Vice

I'm getting nauseous. My only Playboy experience was going there as a wee kiddie, eating, having Shirley Temples, and beautiful, costumed waitresses.

Playboy Hefner and his cronies and friends were monsters. TRIGGERS

roman polanski, cosby, jim brown, my former idols, were raping and beating young women up at the mansion, and so-called "shadow mansions". I feel like I'm going to vomit and I'm just filled with rage.

Yes they showed a clip XanaDUer2 Feb 2024 #13

I really am curious about the reaction to this series. Would you mind if I posted about it in another forum and Scrivener7 Feb 2024 #17

A bunch of men all horned up by looking at photos of naked women. Many of them are celebrities who subscribe to the notion that they are entitled to grab women. Plenty of cocaine and alcohol.

TRIGGER WARNING OF SEXUAL VIOLENCE

Jim Brown strapped a woman into a ex chair and was beating and brutally raping her witnessed by two employees. Claims Don Cornelius kidnapped and raped two sisters. Hefner knew all this and let these men back for years.

How is this not a bigger story? It's a nightmare.

What is wrong with these men?

I agree. Why isn't this on the news? A british tabloid did a story on paige young. This should be on the news.

I loved cosby as a kid. Did you hear the blonde woman describe how he drugged and sodomized her and then sent her a ficus tree?

The one who who spent a lot of time at the mansion as a little girl had the description that tore me up most. To paraphrase: they said this was all about liberation. But it was really about taking young girls and pushing them farther and farther to just break them down.

She said he did the car show circuit and is still alive. He was a celebrity, but must not have had so much clout bc she denied him models and a big friend of hefners she couldn't have done it.

took the world by storm. Harvey Weinstein, once it finally came out, was all over the news. This one came out 2 years ago, and I just stumbled on it on Hulu, having never heard of it.

I wonder if it is quietly going away because just about every American man participated in the exploitation in some way?

Its explosive. Now i look at every actor of a certain age i liked and think what did they do? Everyone was up at that place in LA. Except politicians at least openly i guess
