American Media Inc. was revealed to have planned to hire ghostwriters to write articles that former Playboy model Karen McDougal would then approve, according to testimony from CEO David Pecker. This revelation sheds light on the inner workings of the media company and its practices.
Pecker testified that McDougal would have the 'absolute right' to approve any image used of her in the articles. This level of control over her portrayal in the media highlights the importance of consent and agency for individuals in the public eye.
