Founder and editor-in-chief of Playboy magazine Hugh Hefner’s complicated and controversial legacy is explored in A&E documentary series Secrets of Playboy — a teaser trailer was released on 7 December.
‘SECRETS OF PLAYBOY’
A&E’s Secrets of Playboy series takes a deeper look into Hugh Hefner’s controversial legacy. The publisher jump started the sexual revolution in 1953 when he launched the magazine. This was an era of sexual freedom and expression but the 10-episode docuseries explores the dark secrets of Hefner.
According to Entertainment Weekly, Playboy’s “glossy facade” was a “more sinister reality” that allowed for decades of “nefarious conduct including sexual assault and drug abuse to flourish, and where prostitution, suicide and even murder lurked in the shadows.
The series explores how the Playboy “machine was a powerful force that, at its worst, manipulated women in a toxic environment, silencing their voices, pitting them against one another, and opening the door to sexual predators.”
