'Exploited' Southwest passenger baring all

Hooters waitress Kyla Ebbert famously complained that she was embarrassed when a Southwest Airlines flight attendant scolded her for wearing an inappropriately skimpy outfit on a flight. She later alleged that Southwest was "exploiting" her when they launched a tongue-in-cheek fare sale at the same time executives apologized to her on the "Dr. Phil" show.

And now, she's going to pose nude for Playboy.com, the online portal for Playboy magazine, according to a magazine spokeswoman. The pictorial will be posted tomorrow morning.

Southwest spokeswoman Beth Harbin simply said: "We wish her all the best."

Am I understanding this correctly? She's posing for Playboy to spite WN?

[PhilDernerJr]

Did she sue? Can't WN use this against her if her argument is humiliation?

I'd be lying if I said I didn't want to see this.

...I'd be lying if I said I didn't want to see this.

Are you referring to her Playboy.com shoot? Mel can't be too happy about that :shock:

[Matt Molnar]

Playboy.com shoot = Hef thinks you're kinda hot but not hot enough for the magazine, loser. :borat:

Phil, I think she threatened to sue but I don't think she did after Southwest apologized...and probably slipped her a bunch of free drink coupons.

I just stumbled across this gem while reading about her new venture: at an event launching Virgin America's new SFO-LAS service last month, Richard Branson welcomed her to wear whatever she wants.
