Dennis Hof's publicist on why she agreed to be interviewed for Secrets of the Bunny Ranch season 1
Besides unseen footage and personal pictures, Secrets of the Bunny Ranch season 1 features numerous interviews with former workers. One such interviewee is Dennis Hof's publicist and personal assistant, DeAnne Holliday.
Holliday, who is now working as a registered nurse, was not interested in reliving the years she spent working for Hof, much less for the entire world to know. From r*pe to assaults, several serious allegations are levelled at the late brothel owner in the docuseries.
Despite her initial reluctance to be interviewed for Secrets of the Bunny Ranch season 1, Holliday agreed to do it. In an interview with the Review Journal published on June 10, 2025, the former publicist said:
"I value my privacy and my anonymity. And it took a year for the producer to convince me to go on. It took a year. I kept saying, 'No, no. I’ve got a new life. I don’t want my boss to know. I don’t want the company to know. I don’t want my patients to know.'"
Holliday continued:
"Because I was so close to Dennis, and I saw these things that these women are saying, I can validate them. And I think the women deserve to be heard."
