Penthouse Pet of the year runner up Shawna Lenee is no stranger to controversy and issues with her stability and it seems she has yet another issue.  You would think by people people would have learned about her and stop booking her all together.


It all started today when the website The EMM Report posted a message looking for Shawna Lenee. They did it in a very light hearted way but long story short, Shawna Lenee booked an appointment with them for an interview and then confirmed it just the night before. However Shawna Lenee never showed up.

The EMM Report message – Have you seen this girl? That would really suck; a really HOT Blonde is a terrible thing to waste. Shawna had a confirmed appointment with us last night and no one has seen her since, if you have any information regarding her whereabouts’ please contact us immediately…



On Twitter LukeisBack tipped her off to the post and Shawna Lenee went off about the people.  Keep in mind just the night before it was she who confirmed the appointment.    If she wasn’t going to show up she a) should not have said she would and b) at the very least call and say I’m sorry I wasted your time.  I know I booked this appointment and then confirmed it last night and said I would for sure be there but it turns out something else came up so I can’t make it.  But no, instead she calls the guy out for being a “f’ing retard” and a “perv”.

• ShawnaLeneeXXX god. ppl r just so f’in retarded sometimes. haha. im supposed to stop making a porno for an interview? i dont get it. plz. im screaming, yep

I was reading a story at AdultFYI how some chick who works at Penthouse filed a complaint because get this … there were porn stars in the office.  No fucking way … porn stars in the Penthouse offices?  Who would have thought?  The hell I say!  How oculd such a thing happen.  Who would have ever thought it you worked at a nudie magazine, chicks who get naked may come in the office?


What the fuck is wrong with this world?  Seriously?


With all the shit going on in the world she’s lucky to have a fucking job and she wants to bitch about that?


I’m sorry but when you take a job at a sexually oriented business you have to expect shit like this will go on. I think someone is just looking for a free ride on a lawsuit and it’s stupid bitches like this that make the world what the fuck it is today.


Here is the full article.


Penthouse May Go Under? This Lawsuit’s Only Part of the FriendFinder problem of Finding Friends


From www.gawker.com- FriendFinder Networks, the publisher of Penthouse and operator of adult-classifieds websites, is facing a sexy legal scandal. A former top executive who went public with her grievances has now filed a lawsuit.


Natalie Cedeno, FriendFinder’s former director of human resources, was fired in January without cause, she says, after a series of run-ins with management over practices she believed were improper or illegal.


Cedeno claims the atmosphere at the company changed substantially after Penthouse Media Group acquired Various Inc., the operator of Adult FriendFinder and other websites, in 2007 and changed its name to FriendFinder Networks. Various was buttoned-up, she says, despite operating websites where users planned hookups. Penthouse, by comparison, was pure frat-boy raunch — an attitude which culminated in an incident where a Penthouse Pet draped her boobs on an unwilling female employee in a staged photo meant to humiliate her.


There’s more. The complete lawsuit is included below, but here are the highlights — or lowlights:


25. In or about April, 2008 plaintiff received complaints regarding racist comments concerning employees and prospective employees being made by the company’s Controller, Al Mercado. Mercado made racially disparaging comments regarding Indians, Asians and people whose spoke English as their second language, which he admitted to Plaintiff. Plaintiff met with and counseled Mr. Mercado on three separate occasions, yet his discriminatory conduct continued. The complaints regarding Mr. Mercado’s racially disparaging comments were received from Accounting Supervisor, Brinda Calori who had asked to be given a new assignment because she was distressed by Mercado’s conduct. Plaintiff went to Carmela Monti and recommended that Mercado be discharged. Monti refused to terminate Mercado and instead ordered that Ms. Calori be terminated. Plaintiff objected to Monti’s decision to terminate Ms. Calori and complained to the Vice-President of Finance who refused to become involved. Plaintiff is informed and believes and thereon alleges that Ms. Calori has filed a complaint with the EEOC for retaliatory discharge resulting from her complaints.


28. In May 2008 FriendFinder brought two Penthouse Pets and a male model into the Sunnyvale office to serve ice cream to the employees. The Pets were dressed in revealing attire that caused a female supervisor to complain that their presence and the fact that they were “porn stars” made her so uncomfortable that she would stay in her office away from this activity. The Pets went up to the supervisor’s office and one of them placed her breasts on the employees head while two other employees’ took pictures. The supervisor came to Plaintiff’s office in tears. She was visibly shaken and upset and informed Plaintiff that she was afraid the photos would be put on the Internet. Plaintiff had previously telephoned Carmela Monti, informed her that the Pets were pinching the nipples of the male employees, rubbing their bare chest and inappropriately touching staff, and asked that Monti allow her to have the Pets removed from the office. Monti had refused Plaintiff’s request and after the incident involving the supervisor Plaintiff called Monti again, asking that the Pets be removed because their behavior violated the company’s sexual harassment policy. Monti again refused Plaintiff’s request that she be authorized to direct the Pets to leave the office. COO Tony Previte appeared supported Monti’s decision, stating that the employee who complained was a “trouble maker.”


39. In or about August or September, 2008, the Chief Technology Officer (CTO) of the Las Vegas office, Jason Rasberry, made inappropriate sexual comments concerning a female employee (TE). The CTO said to 5-6 male coworkers in the presence of TE (the group was standing together on a smoke break) “I’ve had seen TE naked and her breasts are too small.” The CTO admitted having made the comment. The CTO had a history of previous misconduct in the workplace for which he had received disciplinary action. Prior to this incident the CTO had asked a male applicant who was interviewing for a position in the company’s Technology Department to “chose any item and he would have one of the girls on cams.com insert it into her vagina.”


FriendFinder appears to be facing severe financial trouble. The company filed for a $460 million public stock offering in December, in an effort to pay off more than $400 million in debt incurred during the Penthouse acquisition. That IPO has yet to happen. But the stock market remains unfriendly to IPOs, and FriendFinder has defaulted on some of its debt, according to a new SEC financing. A tipster tells us the company recently laid off eight marketing staffers in an effort to cut costs. And top executives seem to disagree on whether the company can afford to keep publishing the print edition of Penthouse.


(FriendFinder’s corporate website now softpedals the company’s porn business, highlighting G-rated social networks like BigChurch.com instead.)

Nude model Cassia Riley, Penthouse Pet of the month for April 2005 and nude Internet model  has recently retired but before going for good she wanted to leave one final message to her legions of fans.  She left this message on her myspace page.  That message to her fans is below.




Cassia Riley blogs : WHAT YOU DON’T KNOW ABOUT ME…My final blog
Current mood: loved




I am retired from modeling FOR GOOD.

I am happily engaged to a man who has been in my life for TEN YEARS. He makes me happier than I ever imagined I could be.

I would NEVER cheat on him…he is my BEST FRIEND.

Yes I did get naked for a living but I am not a whore, a stupid person, a drug addict or any other negative thing you can think of. I am from a great family, I am a good, loving, caring and law abiding person. I live a normal life and just because I got naked as a JOB does not mean I would get naked for random people in my REAL life.

I don’t party, I don’t go out to clubs and I don’t drink or do drugs…No REALLY…(not to say I have never drank, but at this point in my life it’s unnecessary)

I love my dogs like they are humans.

I am quite the homemaker.

I love to cook and clean for my man.

I adore taking care of the people I love.

I am so much smarter than you think I am.

I am so much more than I could even begin to explain.

I am proud to be me.

Everything you thought you knew about me is probably very, very wrong.

This just in, Penthouse Pet of the year for 2009 runner up Shawna Lenee has mental breakdown live on the Opie and Anthony show.  What makes this story so interesting is this isn’t the first time.  Shawna Lenee is also the porn star known as Kara Bare and Kara Mynor.   As Kara Bare (see here)  she had a big ordeal in 2006 when trying to kill herself and as Kara Mynor (see here)  she had a big ordeal claiming that she was locked up and held prisoner in a cage.

In the background the handler was trying to calm her down and she shouts out “No fuck these people!  They are assholes!“  But in reality are they assholes?  I mean just 24 hours ago she was on the Howard Stern show riding a sex machine and during the course of the conversation it was Shawna Lenee who continued to steer the conversation towards towards her sex scenes including work she had done recently for Brazzers.

O&A have this to say about her … “Crazy as a shit house rat!”

This all took place on the Friday (2/13/2009) show of Opie and Anthony when they had the 2009 Penthouse Pet of the year Taya Parker who is also on the upcoming reality show Rock of Love Bus.  With her was the Penthouse Pet of the Year runner-up Shawna Lenee who also happens to be on the cover of this month’s issue of Penthouse.    Any question they asked, she steered the question not towards her magazine layout but instead towards her acting career, stating she started off in hardcore.  In fact she recently did a movie called I love Shawna (click here to view the trailer).

She talks about is how she has wanted to do porn since she was 12 years old.  She said she knew at that young of an age she wanted to get naked for a living.  That is the age when she first discovered Internet porn and from there she knew that is what she wanted to do for a living.  She said that she loves to look at beautiful naked women.  She then discusses her first scene in porn which she described as a “regular boy / girl” scene.  She later talks about how she did all these “teen” scenes and how she was really sad when she hit 20 because nobody wanted to hire her anymore because technically she was no longer a teen. MAYBE IT WAS NOT BECAUSE OF YOUR AGE BUT BECAUSE YOU ARE MENTALLY UNSTABLE?

She is the one that drives the conversation around her hardcore career and the second they pull up a photo of her that isn’t so flattering, she gets unhinged.  She’s beyond unreasonable.  She wants to be known as a Penthouse Pet only and yet she is the one going into details about her movies, her scenes and having sex.  And again I remind you that just 24 hours ago she was on Howard Stern riding a sex machine, so why is it now she comes unglued when they call her out for being a slut?

You know what I learned from watching all of this?  That clearly someone at Penthouse dropped the ball.  This person makes Penthouse look bad and I lost any respect for that magazine that I might have had left for not implementing a better screening process.  Clearly this girl has had years and years of mental instability and they pick this person of all the other choices to rep them?  Good job Penthouse.
