- RcouF1uZ4gsC 7y agoAgreed, but her modeling for Playboy had no part in making the relationship consequential. It is a gratuitous detail.
- luma 7y agoWhy not? If modelling was her thing, a Playboy appearance is a major accomplishment.
- bitL 7y agoGetting into Playboy these days means that the model is able to find a sponsor that pays her appearance in the magazine. It is an achievement, but of a completely different kind than most people would have thought. Source: I am a photographer, know some of their models and they told me.
- 1123581321 7y agoCan you explain further? Is the sponsor someone personally interested in the model’s career or is it a company that she is endorsing? What is the typical fee for this?
- rchaud 7y agoThat was a long time ago, when Playboy was relevant and a stepping stone to Baywatch, MTV or something along those lines. Can you even recall anyone who's been a cover model in the last 15 years? Or has graduated from Playboy modeling to something bigger and better?
- mlyle 7y agoIt has been alleged that Hurd hired her in large part for prurient purposes. She posed for Playboy; Hurd was involved in her hiring for "events" and then immediately commences an irregular relationship with her, including her being paid for work at places where there is no HP event but Hurd happens to be. It makes it look a lot more deliberate, than if, say, she had a career as an event presenter and then some time after hiring a sexual relationship commenced.
- RcouF1uZ4gsC 7y ago>It has been alleged that Hurd hired her in large part for prurient purposes. She posed for Playboy; This seems to imply that hiring a woman who has posed for Playboy has a higher chance of being because of prurient purposes. This seems discriminatory.
- CydeWeys 7y agoDiscriminatory in what way? It definitely has a higher chance of being for prurient purposes if she first came to his attention for her nude modeling! Let's be realistic here.
- dinodub 7y agoIt's mainstream news outlet. What were you expecting, exactly? And how do your expectations correspond to the reporting quality & character of said news outlet?
