● 《花花公子俱乐部》（The Playboy Club）惨遭滑铁卢，但这还不够，曾经在芝加哥花花公子俱乐部工作过的Marilyn Miller跳出来指责该剧「几乎没有一件事是真的」。这位前任兔女郎写道：
I worked in the Chicago club, but the show is not really based on it, believe me. I’m so disappointed. None of those things happened. They did a wonderful job re-creating the club physically, but everything else…. And now my son thinks some of these things happened!
The first thing that was incorrect was the dancing together-we never danced! The Bunnies danced together, but never with a customer. It was a rule. You couldn’t dance with the keyholders. They couldn’t touch you. You couldn’t date them, or you’d get fired. The Bunnies enforced the rule themselves-they didn’t want to get hit on all the time. It’s true, though, that every so often a Bunny would go out with a customer anyway, and they usually ended up marrying them.
Another thing the show got wrong was that there weren’t any mobsters or politicians at the club. I didn’t like the whole show. I thought it was cheap, it was degrading, it was demoralizing. It makes the Bunnies seem silly. You didn’t have time to stand around and flirt with the customers or talk to the other Bunnies or run around and get in trouble or have a smoke in the back alley. You were so busy. You worked! You were a waitress. If you took a break, you had to take your costume off, your hose off, pull your underwear down-I mean, you couldn’t even pee! You didn’t have time, anyway. You never got a break. And the costumes last night were terrible! They flattened the women out. None of the TV Bunnies looked like we looked. We looked very pretty, very endowed.
Going back to all the touching. One night when I was working the door, a customer did it-but he was a guest. He reached out and put his hands on me. They took him and they took the keyholder’s key away. And the keyholder was upset because he couldn’t understand why his key was taken away, and they said, “Because you couldn’t control your guest.” And the guest said, “If that’s not what they’re for, then why are we here?” That was a very degrading night. They dragged him right out and the keyholder lost his key. That was the worst.
Another time was when I was in the Penthouse, that’s the showroom. Every time I would go by this guy, he would grab my tail. I would say very nicely, “Please don’t touch the Bunny.” He did it one time too much, and I took my tray and hit him on the head. They took the man out and that was the end of him. It was a very serious thing. You were not allowed to touch the Bunny. But that didn’t go on nightly.
Not one Bunny I know liked the show. Everyone is hoping it gets canceled.
