In a statement to Insider, a representative of Playboy spoke about the allegations: "The Hefner family is no longer associated with Playboy, and today's Playboy is not Hugh Hefner's Playboy.
"We trust and validate these women and their stories and we strongly support those individuals who have come forward to share their experiences. As a brand with sex-positivity at its core, we believe safety, security, and accountability are paramount."
