This week, we've got a new perspective . . . from a teenager who lived at the Playboy mansion. Bridget's sister Anastasia lived at the mansion during the summers from age 16 to age 21 and appeared on The Girls Next Door over five seasons. The girls get into how she felt about being part of the tv show, what she knew (or didn't know) about what went on behind closed doors, sneaking down to the parties, sneaking off the property, body image struggles, eating disorders and mental health. Anastasia talks about how the makeover made her feel, what it was like getting a bikini wax on national television, growing up with Bridget and being "home alone" at the mansion. A message from Anastasia: "Like Bob Barker said, spay and neuter your pets. Also, please support animal shelters . . . and cats especially." Learn more about your ad choices.
