Lori Harvey, the stepdaughter of comedy kingpin Steve Harvey, is ratcheting up her sexpot status with her next gig as a Playboy cover model.
The social media influencer, known for high-profile relationships with actors Michael B. Jordan, Damson Idris and rapper Future, is the subject of an exclusive interview and photo shoot for the iconic men’s magazine, returning to newsstands on Feb 10 for the first time in nearly five years.
Playboy Enterprises announced in March 2020 that it was shutting down its US print edition indefinitely amid dwindling circulation in recent years.
At the time, CEO Ben Kohn cited “the disruption of the coronavirus pandemic to content production and the supply chain” as being the driving force behind the decision to suspend the physical publication.
For its big comeback, the pioneering nudie mag will get Harvey to open up on her personal journey, career and being “a modern icon.”
Comedian Nikki Glaser and the yet-to-be revealed Playmate of the Year will also be featured in the issue.
“For nearly seven decades, Playboy wasn’t just a magazine – it was a movement,” editor Mike Guy said in Thursday’s (Jan 23) announcement.
“This issue celebrates our rich history while embracing a bold new vision for the future, blending nostalgia with innovation to inspire a new generation of readers.”
The new edition is now available for pre-order for US$19.99 (RM87.80). – New York Daily News/Tribune News Service
