Playboy model Dani Mathers may be leaving the mansion for the courthouse.
The 29-year-old playmate incited outrage after photographing an unsuspecting nude elderly woman in a gym locker room. The Playmate of the Year in 2015 followed up the photo with a Snapchat selfie, seemingly reacting to the woman with a look of shock.
The photo’s caption reads: “If I can’t unsee this, then you can’t either.”

Since then, a woman in her 70s has stepped forward to say she’s the “previously unidentified” woman and is willing to testify against Mathers, according to TMZ. The alleged victim has spoken to the Los Angeles Police Department,
Playmate Mathers’ attorney, Tom Mesereau, told People that he has not received any official word of impending legal action: “We hope the rumour is not true… Dani Mathers never tried to hurt anyone at any time and certainly never tried to break any law.”
Immediately after posting the photo, Mathers received an immense amount of backlash from people on social media and lost a job on a radio show. Many were outraged that a young Playboy model would body-shame an elderly woman.
The gym where the incident took place, LA Fitness, has since revoked Mathers’s membership and filed a complaint with police.
Mathers took to several social media platforms, including Twitter, to apologize in the aftermath of the controversy.
