"Inside the Big Brother house, I understood that I was being watched," Taylor Hale, our Playmate of the Month, writes. "But… there's a difference between agreeing to be observed and being consumed."
After winning the contest (and it's $750,000 prize), Hale discovered there were images of her naked body all over the internet—clipped from the Big Brother live feed by viewers.
Here, Hale explains why she shot with Playboy to take her naked body back.

Carlotta Kohl is Playboy's Miss January 2026 — and the first Playmate to shoot her own pictorial.
