10 Things You Didn’t Know About Dani Mathers

The Internet and social media have allowed people to connect in ways never before seen. More than ever, people are able to express opinions, ideas, and perspectives to a broad audience without the need for a platform like television or radio. The result of this ability has been largely positive. Great strides have been made in accepting people despite differences.

However, this technology can also be used to put people down. Such was the case recently when the highly popular and successful Playboy model Dani Mathers took a picture of a nude 70-year-old woman in a gym changing room and posted it on Snapchat. This picture, and the mocking caption, have received harsh backlash. Although Mathers has apologized, most people have found it unacceptable to bully a person for their body, especially in a way that invades their privacy.

Mathers has not just been subject to public outrage; she has been charged with invasion of privacy. This high-profile case has caused the model and actress to receive a great deal of attention, although it is probably not the kind of attention she would hope for. However, many people know her only from this controversy. Here are ten facts that will give a better perspective on who Dani Mathers really is.

10. She has acted in a soap opera

Although many people know her from her highly successful Playboy career, Mathers has also spent a great deal of time on the small screen. She has had a recurring role on the CBS soap opera The Bold and the Beautiful, playing Danica. This character has had several appearances in the show since 2005.

9. She appeared in some blockbuster films

Although she has not starred in any large productions, Mathers did have some airtime in highly successful movies. She briefly appeared in Neighbors, the Seth Rogen movie that brought in over $270 million. As well, she appeared in Furious 7, a film that brought in a shocking $1.5 billion. While not yet as successful in acting as modeling, Mathers has certainly put together a respectable resume.
