I don't see how anyone could be shocked about this. If anyone had spent anytime looking into what Hef is about and the whole image he put out and all the stories about him since the days he "dated" Barbi Benton,then you would know this was the deal. As for the place being a squalid prison then from what i read in the article then it maybe true but then again with all those animals running lose who could keep up with it. Way back in the 60's or 70's Hef had to get a zoo licenece so they could keep all the animals on the property.
This was a gig that brought in $52,000 a year with all expenses paid.
All medical expenses including body modifying expenses, dentists etc.
Publicity one can only dream of for woman wanting to break into show business.
Access to rich and powerful men that may want to marry them or open the door to Hollywood for them.
I believe the woman had 2 days and nights off to do as they wish, 5 days a week there was a curfew of 9: PM.--for their security perhaps.??
They flew all over the world on the Bunny private Jet, ate at the best restaurants where ever they went and spent their nights at all 5 star hotels. Anywhere they went anywhere was in a stretch Limo.
Their job requirements were to take a bath and jump into bed with an old geezer every week or two. Do publicity shots with the Geezer and conduct themselves properly in public, pose for photo shoots with famous men.
Now these woman who have, from the job, met the people they want to and gained fame and lots of money are COMPLAINING about the job????
Give me a job where I am allowed to keep my pets--unhouse broken in a mansion with all those Job Perks.
My Goodness the woman who had private rooms had to turn in receipt for the cost to redecorate their private space with full bath.
Dog shit in the halls and having to wear Pink PJ's.
OH the Horror, at 18-21 this is such a awful life , they think they would have been better off waiting tables, having to put out for some sleazy casting agent.??------Living with 6-7 other people trying to break into the Big Time, counting their nickles and dimes to afford make up or new shoes??
Don"t you thing that most would end up in the Gutter after a year or so ???
Truth now, if any of you had a daughter you cannot control and runs away to become a movie star ----What would feel better with, never knowing what happened to her, or know she is is not a Crank Whore with a stable of woman who is being beaten with a wire coat hanger by a Pimp that makes them turn 20 tricks 24/7 and takes 80% of their earnings.
Darn if your daughter is going to become a hooker or a book keeper, she needs to grab any opportunity to be the very best at what she chooses.
Hef. has taken many a young girl and precluded them from a very bad life. These woman should be grateful to him, his so called slavery of these woman that were free to go at any time and have great carears now should be thanking him, not Bitching about that horrid life they agreed to live in.
