Playboy’s shameless bid to distance itself from Hugh Hefner

‘Get woke, go broke’ is the rule that explains the collapse of so many powerful institutions which profess social justice principles before asphyxiating on their own hypocrisy. Playboy may be the next corporation to consign itself to oblivion. This week, it distanced itself from its late founder, Hugh Hefner. It’s a mission that is doomed to failure.

‘Today’s Playboy is not Hugh Hefner’s Playboy,’ we were informed in an open letter published on Playboy’s website. The statement came after various ‘Bunnies’ told a TV documentary that Hefner drugged, groomed and secretly filmed girls and celebrity guests at his mansion.

Linda Lovelace, the 1970s porn star who starred in Deep Throat, alleges that Hefner made her indulge in bestiality with a German Shepherd and had an interest in snuff films. Holly Madison, a model Hefner dated for eight years, said the Playboy Bunny lifestyle left her contemplating suicide. Others reveal that Hefner kept a stockpile of Quaaludes, the same powerful sedative Bill Cosby used, according to his accusers.
