Hugh Hefner accusations: Can Playboy withstand the backlash? Brand experts weigh in
Fox News
The tarnishing of Hugh Hefner’s reputation was swift and immediate following the release of A&E’s docuseries, leading many to wonder if the Playboy empire that remains without its deceased founder will be able to withstand the backlash.
Several women featured in the episodes that have aired have shared dark retellings of alleged sexual abuse, a trove of "revenge porn" and alleged encouragement of drug abuse. Meanwhile, hundreds of others close to Hefner who did not participate in the show have come out in defense of the magazine publisher, who passed away in 2017 at age 91.
Dead or alive, the accusations against Hefner pose issues for the brand’s future, experts say.
