Playboy Model Dani Mathers takes pic of naked woman at gym, post it online for ridicule

what may be a first for a Playboy Playmate, Dani Mathers was slammed for posting a picture of a naked woman on Thursday.

Mathers snapped a photo of a woman showering at an L.A. Fitness gym without her knowledge, and then posted it to her Snapchat with the caption, “If I can’t unsee this then you can’t either.”

She then shared a picture of herself laughing — but no one was laughing with her.


Instead, Mathers received backlash for body shaming, with a number of Twitter users even calling for her arrest.

Playmate Dani Mathers suspended from job, banned from L.A. Fitness after posting photo of naked woman at gym

The 2015 Playboy Playmate of the year was suspended from her regular radio show gig on the "Heidi and Frank" show on KLOS 95.5 and banned from all L.A. Fitness facilities after she posted a body-shaming photo of a fellow gym goer, TMZ reported.


Mathers faced a slew of criticism after she sent the Snapchat of the woman out to the masses along with the caption "If I can't unsee this then you can't either."

The blond model also uploaded an image where she was coyly laughing at the woman.




ani Mathers is now in the crosshairs of cops, because TMZ has learned there's now a criminal investigation over the pic she took in a gym locker room.
We found out the brass over at LA Fitness went to cops Friday and filed the report, accusing the former Playboy Playmate of egregiously violating a member's right of privacy by taking a pic of her while naked in the shower, and then humiliating her by posting the pic with a disgusting caption.
We're told the police investigation is based on a criminal law prohibiting the dissemination of private images.
The woman in the pic has not come forward ... the report lists "Jane Doe" as the victim.
Dani has already been punished ... we've learned Playboy has suspended her from all Playmate activities including her show on Playboy Radio.

Tick-tock...I have a feeling she won't handle the march of time very well--because gravity will have its way, no matter how much pulling and tugging and filling and fat-sucking one might do.

What will she have, without her looks? By this glimpse into her character, I'd say she won't have much.

I don't think she should get an extraordinary judicial punishment, but it should lean toward the heavier side because she is a public figure, has a platform, and should know better.

She lost her job. Boo fucking hoo. If people don't start getting criminally punished for this shit it will continue. And one day - if it hasn't happened already - some truly pissed partner of a victim will decide to take the matter into their own hands, if the justice system didn't do it for them. We can't afford for vigilante justice to take over, but if real justice doesn't do the job, I predict that's what will happen.

While Priscilla Sanchez added: '@DaniMathers that poor woman's naked body is now circulating the internet when she never intended it to. It's really heartbreaking.'

The Random Man tweeted: 'You owe that girl an apology!'

Bonnie Reynolds wrote: 'Stop. You aren't sorry you did it, you're sorry you got caught and are getting blasted.'

Holly Taylor added: 'Im grossed out you would post a photo of a naked woman's body in a locker room saying "you can't unsee this" wow.'

Police Sausager said: 'This woman was at a m***********g GYM, the hell you looking at her body like it's deplorable?'

The pic of the woman didn't have a big black block over it in the version I saw, but there was absolutely nothing "wrong" with the woman whose privacy was violated. She looked entirely within "the norm" and I couldn't understand why Miss High Horse was so offended by her.

And frankly, Ms. Mathers ought to lay off the lip fillers (made from the skin of corpses, ugh) and have someone look at that pre-cancerous looking "beauty mark" on her face. Glass houses, and all....

enough punishment for what she's done to that woman... she could workout at home and never feel any remorse. She needs a severe come-uppance and one way to do that to someone as clueless as that is take away something they value more than most things... for her I would suspect that would be money.

Even if she manages to catch some rich old fart and be a pampered trophy wife, if she wants to keep that gig she'll have a kid and her body will start to change. She'll turn 50 and those changes will happen. Then some giggling little teenager will snap a photo of her naked and sagging body and post it to whatever the internet has become by then.

The young think they'll be like that forever. Thank the powers that be that they aren't.

A couple of decades from now, when she's old and fat and tired, when she's raised a couple of kids and worked at some jobs she loathed and just wants to go to the gym once in a while so that she doesn't die of a heart attack in her sleep.

Dani Mathers is a terrible person.

under some kind of distribution of pornography statute. And the woman in the picture had the expectation of privacy in a gym shower room -- so, yeah, I think a number of laws have probably been broken here. Whether Miss Playboy gets charged with anything is another matter.
