Miki Garcia was not just a Playmate but also the Director of Promotions for Playboy Enterprises from 1973 until 1982. Despite this, Miki Garcia spoke out against the company. The former model did defend the group while she was employed there, but after allegedly going through harassment and sexual abuse, she changed her mind after realising that Hugh Hefner “simply didn’t care” about the women. Let’s learn more about Miki Garcia’s life after leaving the company and what she’s currently doing now that “Secrets of Playboy” has also examined her story.
Miki Garcia’s Life After Playboy
Miki Garcia’s Life After Playboy When she was younger, Miki Garcia wanted to be a psychiatrist, but a lack of resources led her to pursue modelling and pageants instead. She was there when the picture editor for Playboy noticed her, which marked the beginning of a nine-year journey that ultimately made her despise herself, as per the A&E original.

Miki appeared before the U.S. Attorney General’s panel on pornography in 1985, five years after Dorothy was killed and three years after she broke up with Playboy, to describe all she had seen.

She remarked, “I believe that by testifying, I will expose the fundamental flaws within the Playboy organisation.
