Generations of men have been fans of Playboy, admiring the stunningly gorgeous, super-fit models they have no chance of dating, but Hollywood madam Michelle Braun is determined to prove all that cheesecake’s a myth.
Sentenced to just three years’ probation and six months of house arrest for her eleven-year career as a big-ticket pimp, Braun is now plotting a tell-all memoir about the joys of arranging sex dates with centerfolds for men who could afford her minimum fee of $10,000 a night.
Braun claims her clientele was an endless list of celebs, including a baseball star and a race car driver, both of whom even married the Playmates they met through her tawdry trade. She refuses to give any actual names, but of one regular client she gave one slick clue; “If I dropped his name, I certainly wouldn’t be his idol.”
And despite sourcing most of her girls from the Playboy empire, Braun is no fan of their boss; “Hef couldn’t keep any of his girlfriends in the Mansion,” she said. “At one time, seven of the eight girls there worked for me. One was there just to recruit for me.”
Now living in Florida, Michelle finally ran foul of the law when Hef’s people caught her using photos from Playboy in emails to clients. Heff sued for copyright infringement, and despite all her claims of disdain for the 83-year old boss Braun paid off the suit before he dragged her to court.
The copyright spat alerted the Feds to her work, and after being investigated and raided by the FBI, Braun copped a plea to two felonies – money laundering and ‘transporting a woman across state lines to conduct prostitution’, thereby ducking the fallout from her high-priced life of crime that would put her in jail.
“The girls and the clients were being harassed. I took the bullet for everyone,” she told the NY Post. “I’m like Jesus, only prettier.” She laughed, “That’s a joke.”
No, it isn’t…Madam. But you and your attitude are…
