Playboy "empowering," says Joanna Krupa

Polish-American model and actress Joanna Krupa has revealed she thinks Playboy magazine makes a feminist statement.

The Polish model – who appears on the cover of the magazine’s December issue – loved posing for the erotic publication because it made her feel “empowered” and beautiful.

She said: “There are several great reasons why female celebs line up to shoot Playboy: finally a woman gets paid more than a man for comparable work, she gets to set the rules, gets to be in a real team with other women, as many key positions at Playboy are in fact held by women!

“She brings in her creative ideas, gets involved in the photo selection and ends up with something she co-created through and through.” Joanna also blasted women who criticise sexy magazines, branding them “ignorant” and “pathetic”.

“I think they suffer from lack of knowledge and tunnel vision,” she told FOX News. “How many of those self-important, so-called ‘feminists’ have been on the set when a celebrity shot a Playboy spread? There you go.

“What is feminist about discriminating a photo shoot just because it involves female partial nudity that happens to give men pleasure? Pathetic.”
