I have watched the series, and my conclusions is Heffner was virtually another Epstein. Hooking up his celebrity friends and people in power with girls, some even under-age. Heffner himself comes across as a predator, manipulating and abusing women as well as being a total control freak. Him and his friends, like Bill Cosby for example, both dugged women and sexually assaulted them, which was a more than regular occurrence from what is mentioned within the documentary.
The series was definitely eye opening. I always thought shit may have went on there, but not to the degree this documentary series has highlighted, I mean apart from the sexual abuse and rapes that happen, some women were made to take part in beastiality while Heff and friends watched on. Also surprisingly is some women on his staff would turn a blind eye, even helping endorse and set up such meetings for other women to be abused, physically and mentally by Heffner and co. Heffner just used and abused the women for his own gain, throwing them away once no longer needed and pursued the next one, then rinse and repeat the process. I mean, while being told about Dorothy Stratten's death, he was more focused on finding out and getting the number of the new young and attractive blonde from Ohio that visited than caring about what happened to Dorothy.
I always thought "man, Heff had the life, being rich, surrounded by pretty women and getting laid 24/7" but the documentary shows the really cost of this facade. Notably it was the cost it took on these said women from over the years, the abuse, sexual assaults and mental toll taken and not so much a cost on Heffner himself. The mansion wasn't always the funhouse it was perceived to be. As I mentioned before, definitely an eye opening documentary series.
On a side note, I watched the movie Star 80 after finishing the Playboy documentary, which is about former playmate Dorothy Stratten and her ex husband Paul Snider, her fast rise to stardom and the spiral to her tragic and heinous death at 20. Both Eric Roberts and Mariel Hemingway portrayed the couple really well, but Roberts definitely stood out for his part as Paul Snider in the film.
