Donna D’Errico Says Playboy Rejected Her 30 Years After Iconic Cover — But She’s Got a New Hotline

The former Baywatch star says Playboy passed on her anniversary pitch — but fans can still connect with her 24/7 via her new AI-powered phone experience.

Donna D’Errico is making headlines again — but this time, it’s not for lifeguarding on Baywatch. The 55-year-old actress recently revealed that Playboy turned down her pitch to pose again, 30 years after her debut as Playmate of the Month in 1995.

“I actually contacted Playboy,” D’Errico told Fox News Digital. “I was feeling confident, like I’m in the best shape of my life. I thought it’d be cool to do another shoot.”

But the response wasn’t what she expected.

“They were like, ‘Oh, we don’t do that anymore,’” she recalled. “I said, ‘What do you mean? I know there’s no magazine, but don’t you still do pictorials?’ They said, ‘No, not really. It’s a completely different vibe now.’”

Despite the rejection, D’Errico isn’t slowing down. She’s launched Call Donna D, a 24/7 AI phone experience that lets fans chat with a virtual version of her.

“It feels like I’m actually on the other line talking with you,” she said. “It’s wild.”

The service offers two modes: a daytime version for advice and casual chats, and a VIP version for bolder, flirtier conversations.

“She’s not shy,” D’Errico joked. “I’m a lot shyer than she is.”

Since joining OnlyFans in 2022, D’Errico says she’s enjoyed connecting with fans directly.

“I’m single. I don’t date. So I have the freedom to talk to all these guys, get flirty, send sexy pictures… things you’d do if you had a man.”

While Playboy may have passed, D’Errico’s fans haven’t — and she’s embracing the next chapter with confidence and tech-savvy charm.
