How Playboy cut ties with Hugh Hefner to create a post-MeToo brand

Hugh Hefner launched Playboy Magazine 70 years ago this year. The first issue included a nude photograph of Marilyn Monroe, which he had purchased and published without her knowledge or consent.

Hefner went on to build the Playboy brand off the backs of the countless women featured in its pages, whose beauty and performance of heightened feminine sexuality have entertained its readers for generations.

Approaching its 70th anniversary in December, Playboy has radically shifted. With the magazine no longer in publication, the Playboy Mansion sold to a developer and London’s last remaining Playboy Club closing in 2021, what is the future for Playboy? The brand is changing to keep up with the post-#MeToo world.

Hefner passed away one month before allegations against film producer Harvey Weinstein surfaced in 2017 giving momentum to the #MeToo movement (which saw survivors of sexual assault and harassment speak out against their abusers).

In recent years, many have re-evaluated Hefner’s legacy and relationships with women. The 2022 docuseries “The Secrets of Playboy” (which aired on Channel 4 in the UK) detailed sexual misconduct accusations against Hefner from several ex-girlfriends, including model Sondra Theodore and TV personality Holly Madison.

Hefner and Playboy’s relationship with women has been complicated. Playboy was an early supporter of abortion rights, helped fund the first rape kit and was at times an early proponent of inclusivity (for example featuring transgender model, Caroline “Tula” Cossey, in its June 1981 issue). But most women featured in Playboy have fit within a narrow beauty standard — thin, white, able-bodied and blonde.

Meanwhile Hefner’s personal relationship with his much younger girlfriends reportedly followed patterns of control and emotional abuse. Ex-girlfriend Holly Madison described Hefner as treating her “like a glorified pet” in her 2015 memoir, “Down the Rabbit Hole.”

Hefner’s passing meant he evaded reckoning with the #MeToo movement. Playboy, however, responded, releasing a statement in which it affirmed support for the women featured in “The Secrets of Playboy” and called Hefner’s actions “abhorrent.”

The statement declared that the brand was no longer affiliated with the Hefner family and would be focusing on aspects of the company’s legacy that align with values of sex positivity and free expression.

Today, Playboy is a very different company from the one Hefner launched nearly 70 years ago. Roughly 80% of Playboy staff identify as women, according the company, and its motto has changed from “Entertainment for Men” to “Pleasure for All.” Shares in the company are publicly traded and 40% of its board and management are women.

The company has also moved towards more creator-led content through its app, Playboy Centerfold. Similar to subscription content service OnlyFans, Playboy Centerfold allows subscribers to view content from and interact with its creators, which it call “bunnies.”

On the app, creators — or bunnies — are able portray their own bodies however they wish, putting the power back in their hands. Perhaps Playboy’s future is no longer in serving the male gaze, but instead the very audience Hefner dismissed in his first letter from the editor:

“If you’re a man between the ages of 18 and 80 Playboy is meant for you … If you’re somebody’s sister, wife or mother-in-law and picked us up by mistake, please pass us along to the man in your life and get back to your Ladies Home Companion.”

The stars of Playboy’s mid-2000s reality series, Holly Madison and Bridget Marquardt, are also enjoying a resurgence among fans.

“The Girls Next Door” launched in 2004. The show focused on the lives of Hefner’s three girlfriends, Madison, Marquardt and Kendra Wilkinson. It became E’s best performing show and cultivated a new female audience for Playboy.

“The Girls Next Door” was a story of complicated empowerment despite patriarchal interference. Its three female protagonists went from being known solely as some of Hefner’s many blonde girlfriends, to celebrities in their own right.

They each ultimately broke up with Hefner, leaving the Mansion and going on to lead successful careers.

The show’s depiction of Madison, Marquardt and Wilkinson as empowered, fun-loving and complex individuals, who found joy and agency through expressing their sexuality was perhaps what drew so many female fans to the show. However, amid the girls’ fight for agency, Hefner retaliated.

The series shows that he maintained final say in every Playboy photograph of the girls, as well as imposing strict curfews and spending allowances.

In Madison and Wilkinson’s memoirs, “Down the Rabbit Hole,” and “Sliding into Home,” they claim that production consistently undermined them. They refused to pay them for the first season, didn’t credit them until season four and aired their uncensored nude bodies in foreign broadcasts and DVD releases without consent.

Fan interest in “The Girls Next Door” remains strong. In August 2022 Madison and Marquardt launched their podcast “Girls Next Level,” where they interview previous playmates and interact with fans. They also recap episodes from their own points of view, unpacking their experiences of working on the show.

Having reached 10 million downloads as of February 2023, the success of the podcast — 14 years after the last episode of “The Girls Next Door” — speaks to the cultural legacy of the Playboy brand. It also shows that despite Hefner’s original editor’s note, Playboy resonates with some women.

Playboy is now in a post-Hefner era, where the imagery of women found within old issues of Playboy can serve as inspiration for others to enjoy their own sexuality. Whatever the future has for the company, the concept of Playboy has become public property — be that in the appearance of Playboy bunny costumes each Halloween, the popularity of cheeky Playboy logo tattoos or branded lingerie and clothing.

In a post-#MeToo era, the women of Playboy are speaking up and taking over. With the mansion gates closed, the bunnies are finally reclaiming the brand as their own.

European human rights court rules against Russia in Ukraine conflict and Flight MH17

by Lucas Fernandez – World Editor July 9, 2025

written by Lucas Fernandez – World Editor

THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — Europe’s top human rights court delivered damning judgments Wednesday against Russia in four cases brought by Kyiv and the Netherlands accusing Moscow of atrocities in Ukraine dating back more than a decade.

Judges at the European Court of Human Rights ruled that Russia was responsible for widespread violations of international law — from shooting down Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 in 2014, to the murder, torture, rape, destruction of civilian infrastructure and kidnapping of Ukrainian children after Moscow’s full-scale invasion of 2022.

Reading the decisions in a packed courtroom in Strasbourg, Court President Mattias Guyomar said Russian forces breached international humanitarian law in Ukraine by carrying out attacks that “killed and wounded thousands of civilians and created fear and terror.”

The Kremlin said it would ignore the largely symbolic judgment, but Ukraine hailed it as “historic and unprecedented,” saying it was an “undeniable victory” for the embattled country.

The judges found the human rights abuses went beyond any military objective and that Russia used sexual violence as part of a strategy to break Ukrainian morale, the French judge said.

“The use of rape as a weapon of war was an act of extreme atrocity that amounted to torture,” Guyomar said.

The 501-page judgment noted that Russia’s refusal to participate in the proceedings also was a violation of European Convention of Human Rights, the treaty that underpins the court.

Asked about the judgment before the rulings were read, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said: “We won’t abide by it, we consider it void.”

Families of the victims of the Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 disaster saw the decision as an important milestone in their 11-year quest for justice.

Thomas Schansman, whose 18-year-old son, Quinn, was aboard the jetliner, told The Associated Press that the judgment makes clear who caused the disaster.

Russia “is responsible for killing my son,” Schansman said.

The Boeing 777 flying from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur was shot down on July 17, 2014, using a Russian-made Buk missile fired from territory in eastern Ukraine controlled by separatist rebels loyal to Moscow. All 298 passengers and crew were killed, including 196 Dutch citizens.

The judges found that Russia’s refusal to acknowledge its involvement in the Flight MH17 disaster also violated international law. Russia’s failure to properly investigate “significantly aggravated the suffering” of the relatives and friends of the dead.

“Russia never took any opportunity to tell the truth,” Schansman said.

In May, the U.N.’s aviation agency found Russia responsible for the disaster.

The separatist conflict that broke out in eastern Ukraine in 2014 killed about 14,000 people before Russia launched its full-scale invasion in 2022.

The ECHR is an important part of the Council of Europe, which is the continent’s foremost human rights institution. The court’s governing body expelled Moscow in 2022 in response to the all-out invasion. However, the court can still deal with cases against Russia dating from before its expulsion and, legally, the country is still obliged to participate in the proceedings.

The court will rule on financial compensation at a later date but Russia’s departure leaves little hope that damages will ever be collected.

In 2023, the judges sided with Ukraine and the Netherlands in a challenge over jurisdiction, finding there was sufficient evidence to show that areas in eastern Ukraine controlled by separatist rebels were “under the jurisdiction of the Russian Federation.” That included providing weapons, and giving political and economic support.

Wednesday’s rulings won’t be the last from the EHCR dealing with the war. Kyiv has other cases pending against Russia and there are nearly 10,000 cases brought by individuals against the Kremlin.

The decisions in Strasbourg are separate from a criminal prosecution in the Netherlands in which two Russians and a Ukrainian rebel were convicted in absentia of multiple murders for their roles in the downing of Flight MH17.

In 2022, the United Nations’ top court ordered Russia to stop military operations in Ukraine while a case is heard, a process that takes years. Russia has flouted the order by the International Court of Justice.

Last month, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy formally approved plans to set up a new international court to prosecute senior Russian officials for the invasion.

BYU Quarterback Facing Suspension Over Honor Code Violation, Not Necessarily Assault Allegation

content warning: This article contains depictions of alleged sexual assault.

PROVO, UT – BYU quarterback Jake Retzlaff is bracing for a seven-game suspension from the university following an honor code violation, stemming from a sexual assault allegation made against him, according to reports. However, the impending suspension appears to be related to a violation of BYU’s strict honor code regarding premarital sex, rather than the assault claim itself.

Retzlaff, a graduate student with one year of eligibility remaining, reportedly intends to transfer [[2]]. He has denied the allegation made in a lawsuit filed in May,claiming the sexual encounter was consensual [[1]].

BYU, run by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day saints, enforces a strict honor code prohibiting premarital sex and requiring students to “live a chaste and virtuous life.” This code applies to all students,regardless of religious affiliation [[1]].

This isn’t the first time an athlete has faced consequences for honor code violations at BYU. NFL running back Jamaal Williams missed an entire season in 2015 due to a similar infraction [[1]].

The lawsuit alleges that Retzlaff sexually assaulted a woman, identified as Jane Doe A.G., in his home in 2023. Further details of the allegation are currently under investigation.

Jim Jordan: HBO Film Alleges Cover-Up

Ohio State Sex Abuse Scandal Exposed in New Documentary

Ohio State Sex Abuse Scandal Exposed in New Documentary

A new HBO documentary, “Surviving Ohio State,” intensifies scrutiny on the university’s handling of the Dr. Richard Strauss sexual abuse scandal, alleging a cover-up and inequitable settlements with survivors. The film, which premiered at the tribeca film Festival in june 2025, casts a harsh light on events that occurred between 1978 and 1998, raising questions about institutional accountability and victim compensation.

Allegations of Cover-Up and Knowledge Among Coaches

The documentary, produced by George Clooney, features interviews with survivors who recount their experiences of abuse by Dr. Richard Strauss, who was employed by Ohio State from 1978 to 1998. It further alleges that multiple coaches, including former Buckeyes wrestling coach Russ hellickson and U.S.Representative Jim jordan, were aware of Strauss’s actions. Both Hellickson and Jordan, along with members of the Ohio State board of trustees, reportedly declined to be interviewed for the film.

Otte Remenyik, the men’s fencing coach from 1978 to 1999, reported an incident where Strauss allegedly requested a genital exam to treat a student’s bleeding ear. Remenyik stated that her superiors dismissed her report as “rumors and hearsay,” requiring a student to come forward before taking action. Despite Remenyik’s support, no students from the fencing team filed a complaint.

Did You Know? Ohio State settled with 296 survivors for a combined $60 million, averaging about $250,000 per person.

Details of Abuse and Steroid Allegations

The documentary details disturbing accounts from wrestlers, including Dan Ritchie, who described unnecessary genital exams conducted by Strauss without gloves. Some wrestlers reported that Strauss would turn off the lights and use a flashlight during examinations, getting so close that they could feel his breath. Wrestlers also used nicknames for Strauss, such as “Dr. Fun Boy” and “Dr. Jelly Fingers.”

frederick feeney, a wrestling referee from 1988 to 2024, claimed that Strauss masturbated next to him in the shower and grabbed his butt. Feeney reported the incident to Jordan and Hellickson, but Jordan allegedly dismissed it, saying, “It’s Strauss, you know what he does.”

The film also portrays Strauss as an expert on steroids, featuring clips of him discussing steroid use by athletes on “Nightline.” Some interviewees suggested that Ohio State might have been hesitant to discipline Strauss if he was providing steroids to student athletes. One wrestler recalled receiving shots from Strauss before major matches.

Settlement Disparities and Legal Battles

the documentary highlights that the average settlements paid by ohio State to survivors are significantly lower than those in similar sex abuse scandals at other universities. According to the film, Ohio State has paid out around $250,000 per survivor, compared to approximately $1.5 million per survivor in the penn State/Jerry Sandusky case and $1.2 million per settlement in the Michigan state/Dr. Larry Nassar case.

Ohio State’s legal strategy, including an attempt to have lawsuits dismissed due to the statute of limitations, is also criticized in the documentary. The university took its case to the U.S. Supreme court in 2023, but the court declined to review a decision allowing more than 230 men to proceed with their lawsuit. A trial date could be set as early as 2026.

Pro Tip: Understanding the statute of limitations is crucial in sexual abuse cases, as it can significantly impact a survivor’s ability to seek justice.

Reactions and Future Implications

The documentary concludes with former Ohio State leaders apologizing to survivors at a board of trustees meeting. However, former athletes and an attorney argue that the university has not been cooperative behind closed doors. One plaintiff, Snyder-Hill, stated, “I’m a survivor of sexual assault, but I’m a victim of OSU,” criticizing the university’s handling of the scandal.

According to a 2024 study published in the journal *Trauma, Violence, & Abuse*, institutional betrayal, such as the alleged cover-up by Ohio State, can significantly exacerbate the long-term psychological trauma experienced by survivors of sexual abuse Trauma, Violence, & Abuse.

Comparison of Settlement Amounts in University Sex Abuse Scandals
University	Scandal	Average Settlement per Survivor
Ohio State University	Richard Strauss Abuse	$250,000
Penn State University	Jerry Sandusky Abuse	$1,500,000
Michigan State University	Larry Nassar Abuse	$1,200,000

What steps should universities take to prevent and address sexual abuse on campus? How can institutions better support survivors and ensure fair compensation?
