At just 18, Kate Dee was already working with Playboy and regularly attending parties at the Playboy Mansion. But one night, a casting director pulled her into a bathroom and made a sexual demand that could have affected her career:
“He pulled me into a bathroom and he’s like, ‘Suck my dick right now.’”
“And I was like, ‘No.’”
“And he’s like, ‘Do you want your career to go anywhere?’”
“I didn’t suck his dick.”
“And he’s like, ‘Don’t you fucking say anything to Kim.’”
“How old were you at the time?”
“18.”
“So you was a young girl?”
“Yeah, I did the whole Playboy thing.”
“You still remember that? Was it traumatizing to you?”
“Yeah, I think when I got in, when I was 18, I had no idea how the industry was.”
“There was a lot of older men that took advantage of me and stuff.”
“And I look back at it now and I’m like, I was just a baby.”
“But girls got to look out for girls.”
“When I was staying at the model house, any girls that I seen that were really young, I told them what I would want to hear when I was 18.”
“So I was like, I’m going to be that person for them.”
