Anna Nichole Smith also used rich elderly men. Many people have set her on a pedestal due to her death. Sorry, but I never thought she was anything but what she appeared by her actions. It is a blessing that Larry ended up with her daughter.

Both Kim and Holly have earned respect as business women. They've both moved on past their indiscretions. Sad there are some people in society who want to keep persecuting them.

Persecuting? Earned respect as businesswomen? The I guess the Mayflower Madame is a great role model too - and she only set up dates, never participated.

No - criticizing their lifestyle choices is a better phrase.

They make their money by being controversial.

@QVC this thread serves as evidence of your perverse rating system which considers some posters to be more "valuable" than others. What a joke!

Holly, like Kim, has put herself out there for public scrutiny by writing the book and by making guest appearances about it. Therefore, this invites public comment. If she truly wanted to move on from her past, she wouldn't have written the book, unless it's a catharsis for her.

Does she realize how BAD she makes herself look?

Granted, the whole Playmate situation is bizarre, but she sets back the Women's Movement by about 150 years!

The Women's Movement is about having choices...even choices other women wouldn't make.

This, absolutely this. I don't have to agree with her choices, but I'm going to fight to make sure she has the option to make those choices.

I ADORE Hugh Hefner! There's nothing anyone can say for me to change my viewpoint of that intelligent, cultural icon. There are so many people within his inner circle, many ex-loves, that are still an active part of his life. Actions speak WAY louder than words.

I, too, watched the show back when. Disappointed Holly decided to take the route she did for her own personal gain. Shows bad character on her part. She's just a flea on the butt of this important giving man. Of course, Hef is treating this like a gentleman. #TeamHef

I don't think that having a relationship with an old man she didn't like or respect (plus faking acts with his other girls) is anyway to make a living.

The Women's Movement is about empowering women to stand on their own two feet - make lives and careers for themselves - NOT  to resort to the oldest profession in the world!

---

The women's movement is about empowering women to make their OWN decisions about how they live their lives without being told what to do by men OR by other women. When you decide how another woman should live her life, it's no different than when a man does it. Actually, it is different because it's worse.

I wuld feel the same about a man who decided to make a living as a gigolo. A demeaning, dehumanizing way to live. Just my opinion.

But it would be his choice unless he/she were forced. Their choice...though most of us agree it is demeaning...they decided to make that choice. Do I respect those who decide to make their way through life like this? No...but they have the right.
