Playboy Puts Brett Ratner’s Hugh Hefner Biopic on Hold (Exclusive)

In the wake of the Los Angeles Times exposé on Brett Ratner, Playboy Enterprises is putting all projects with Ratner’s production company, Ratpac Entertainment, on hold. This includes the biopic on Playboy founder Hugh Hefner that Ratner was attached to direct and produce.

“We are deeply troubled to learn about the accusations against Brett Ratner. We find this kind of behavior completely unacceptable,” a Playboy spokesperson said in a statement to TheWrap. “We are putting all further development of our projects with RatPac Entertainment on hold until we are able to review the situation further.”...

...Ratner held Hefner in high regard, and has held the rights to his life for more than a decade. In a guest column for The Hollywood Reporter following Hefner’s death, Ratner called him a “friend” and said he “admired his decency and his hospitality.” He also discussed how he has tried for years to make the biopic a reality, which led to him to meet Hefner for the first time....

...But following Hefner’s death, debate over the Playboy founder’s legacy as one of the leading forces behind the “sexual revolution” of the mid-20th century ensued in the press, and some of his live-in girlfriends at the Playboy Mansion have spoken about how he treated them. In a 1999 Washington Post profile of Hefner written by TheWrap founder Sharon Waxman, Hefner’s ex-girlfriend Carrie Leigh noted that Hefner kept stacks of legal pads recounting his sexual acts....

...“”There were stacks of them,” Leigh said. “On the left, it would say the names of the people. Next to that, it would say the type of sex . . . and to the right of that, he would grade it. A-plus-plus-plus was the highest grade, down to C-minus.”

Holly Madison, one of the girlfriends who starred on the E! reality show “The Girls Next Door,” said in her book... that Hefner offered her quaaludes, which he called “thigh-openers,” and berated her when her appearance did not meet his standards...

...As for Ratner, actresses Natasha Henstridge and Olivia Munn are among his accusers, with Henstridge saying he “forced her to perform oral sex,” while Munn says Ratner masturbated in front of her in his trailer when she went to deliver a meal. Years later, Munn said she ran into Ratner at a CAA party, where he boasted of ejaculating onto magazine covers featuring her image...


Brett Ratner treats objects like women, man.
 
What a bunch of B .S. Those girls knew full well what they are getting into. This is nothing more than a 'deep pocket' dive.
