A lot of people were unhappy with Playboy’s decision to feature its first ever transgender playmate, but it’s former porn starJenna Jamesonwho is speaking out against the decision to allowInes Rauto take center stage as a centerfold. Jenna Jameson, who has posed nude in Playboy several times, issued a brief tweet, which she then defended countless times ever since the announcement was made. She insisted several times that she “loves” her gay and transsexual people, but she doesn’t think that a transgender female belongs in the pages of the men’s magazine.
It didn’t take long after Jenna Jameson’s tweet before she started responding to a barrage of messages, with one fan accusing her of “backpedaling” after she stated that she loves her “gay and trans peeps,” but she reiterated that she didn’t thinktransgendered womenbelonged in Playboy, period. She also responded to another fan who said that trans women are beautiful, with Jameson expressing that her opinion has nothing to do with the looks of the model, but she thinks the decision to feature a transgendered playmate, “alienates its client base.”
Jenna Jameson does have a history withPlayboy magazine, having appeared in the magazine in the past, and, in 2006, Playboy purchased her adult entertainment company ClubJenna for what the former porn star describes in a tweet as “a fortune.” Over the past few years, though, her views have changed, slamming Playboy this June for being part of the White House Press Corps, after Playboy journalist Brian Karem slammed Deputy White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders for her treatment towards the media.
Playboy had been in the news quite a bit as of late, with thedeath of Playboy founder Hugh Hefnerand the news that the long-gestating Hugh Hefner biopic was finally moving forward, withJared Leto playing Hugh Hefnerin the biopic. Brett Ratner is producing that biopic, although the project doesn’t have a director at this time.
