Hookup culture is everywhere. Tons of girls do the same thing, especially when traveling or on spring break. I lived in Vegas, it was an average weekend. Based on what I've read online, I think this pretty accurately reflects the yachting industry. But, in her case, she's probably just doing pre-advertising for her future OnlyFans account. Last time I checked reddit, most of the BD women had one.

They didn't though. They made an agreement with MindGeek (Manwin at the time, a company that owns a lot of porn sites) to manage the .coms under the Playboy umbrella, they didn't sell the catalog to them...and Hef had nothing to do with the operations at that time. They basically outsourced MindGeek to handle hosting, transactions and user statistical data. That whole thing was the new CEO Scott Flanders call and he reversed it 2 years later. The only "catalog" Playboy actually sold was the Spice TV network and related websites - all non-branded and didn't involve any of the women on the show. The women have made this claim several times now and it's completely false. Sondra even claimed that Hef did it personally - as retribution or something. Again, the showrunners are expecting us not to look into it.

Drug addicts, escorts and porn stars - somehow Playboy must be to blame. Victoria Zdrok wanted to be a porn star and escort. Hef didn't want her to do porn while using the Playboy name so he filed a trademark lawsuit and lost. Somehow that makes him a control freak. She won the lawsuit and got to do what she really wanted - she's a 50 year old porn star. You go queen. 🙄 Shauna Sand - her divorce had nothing to do with her going out with Hef and "nothing happening". She was banging Lorenzo's 18 year old son from his second marriage. He talked about it extensively back in 2015. I guess the show was hoping we had forgotten. Kari Ann Peniche's problems are all over reality TV. Girl was a train wreck from waaaay back. But Playboy was the end of her innocence. These three make me far less likely to believe anything presented on this show.

I haven't looked into "all those other women", the show has only featured a handful. In Sondra's case, her own daughter doubts her and never saw Hef do anything wrong - and she was actually there - why is it so outrageous for an outside observer have doubts?

Yes.

With the newer generations, there were cameras everywhere. There could easily be proof if they're lying and the girls know it. But, the vast majority of the women don't bash Hef and Playboy so they aren't interviewed. Even Sondra's daughter was careful to say that she never witnessed anything out of line. Sondra's got some problems. Notice when her daughter mentioned that Hef was nice to her at parties her immediate response was a thinly veiled - SEE! He was grooming her! Plus, she blames Hef personally for her pictures being stolen and put on porn sites. And, even though every other girlfriend going back to at least Barbi, says that they weren't encouraged to talk to other men and were DEFINITELY not allowed to have sex with other men - Sondra says Hef brought other dudes into bed. She may be telling the truth but it would be unusual for Hef to specifically not allow that before and after her.

Yes. And she didn't actually divorce him until the show was almost over. She kept her options open until things got serious with Nicholas. It's incredibly common for women to leave their hometown husbands to chase fame in LA. Often it involves hooking up with much older men for opportunities. Most of the industry is another form of sex work...for men and women.

The first season tried to make Hef look like a monster who manipulated young women and destroyed their lives. I was glad to see the women in the first ep of season 2 praising Hef. But this second ep makes it look like the girlfriends were just sugar babies trying to finesse the man.

Seth's CV now reads "I was hired as a deckhand but my knowledge and leadership skills were quickly recognized and I was promoted all the way to Bosun in under 2 weeks."

Character is rarely a prerequisite for a hookup. Cute-ish and willing is all that's needed. Still, the crying was pathetic.

Time for Camille to fire up her dormant Onlyfans account. Hey, did everyone know that Sandy is a tough as nails captain who will stand up to anyone? So strong. So brave. So phony.

When someone has to repeated tell you they aren't an asshole, they are DEFINITELY an asshole. Imagine it's your first hour with the lofty title of "lead deckhand" and suddenly you're acting like Gunnery Sergeant Hartman.

Camille should hug Sandy a little longer than normal and tell her how much she admires her. All her problems would be over.

Sandy fire a cute-ish girl? Are you familiar with her? Sandy's got a new girl to drool over mentor.

<Into the void> NOOOOOOOOO! Sandy is a nightmare. Is anyone shocked that Camille was a bitch in high school? A beautiful girl back then and could get away with anything - but those looks are already fading. She better get responsible and develop a personality before they're gone completely. Tick Tock, princess.
