I still can't say that's true though, I don't know Hefner's entire legal history but if there's truly NO successful lawsuit that still doesn't mean there aren't legit reasons to bring him to court, it just means he's rich and powerful enough (with a decent legal team) to get away with what he gets away with.

Saying "oh you could leave at any time" could be said for ANY job but that doesn't mean employers are free to do whatever they want.

Hefner also has all the classic tells of an abuser and I think that's a big reason why (in addition to not having the resources he has) more women don't seek damages against him. Abusers can fuck you up for life and make you believe you'll never win against them.

Somebody suing Hugh Hefner for girlfriend-related stuff will definitely make the news. Now you're right, this is not to say that there are no legitimate reasons for suing him, but... look at the stats. Think about how many girlfriends he's had, many of them very hungry for money and fame. Think about what a litigious society he lives in. What are the odds that there are grounds for a lawsuit and yet nobody's ever tried it? Very slim, I'd say.


"Saying "oh you could leave at any time" could be said for ANY job but that doesn't mean employers are free to do whatever they want."

Well, sure. But if what they do are entirely within the bounds of the law and/or not provable, like saying mean things to your girlfriends with no witnesses around, this isn't something you can sue people for.
