‘Baywatch’ Star Donna D’Errico Says Playboy Turned Her Down After 30th Anniversary Pitch

Donna D’Errico is making waves — and not the kind she patrolled on Baywatch.

Fresh off the 30th anniversary of her Playboy cover debut, the actress decided to pitch herself for another spread. After all, she’s in what she calls the best shape of her life. But when she reached out to the iconic men’s magazine, she was surprised by the response.

“I actually contacted Playboy,” D’Errico told Fox News Digital. “I contacted Playboy because I was like, ‘You know, I’m kind of feeling myself. I feel like I look pretty good. I’m feeling pretty confident. I might like to kind of pose again… I think it might be kind of cool.’”

Instead of rolling out the red carpet, she says the brand told her, no thanks.

“They were like, ‘Oh, we don’t do that anymore,’” she recalled. “I was, like, ‘What do you mean you don’t do that anymore? I know there’s not a magazine anymore, but don’t you… have pictorials?’ They said, ‘No, not really. We don’t really do that now. It’s a completely different vibe.’ I was like, ‘Well, that sucks because I would have done it.’”

But if Playboy’s not calling, fans sure can — literally.

The former lifeguard-turned-OnlyFans star just launched Call Donna D, an interactive AI phone experience that lets fans chat with a virtual version of her 24/7. “I’ve created an AI version of me that you can call anytime you want to, and it feels like I’m actually me on the other line talking with you. It’s wild,” she said.

Conversations range from advice to romance — and sometimes a little more. “If you wanna call and just talk to me and get advice or talk about your day… the daytime version is perfect,” D’Errico explained. “But if you’re feeling bold… that’s the VIP version. And she, let me tell you, is not shy. I mean, I’m a lot shyer than she is.”

D’Errico joined OnlyFans in 2022 and says she’s having “a ball” connecting directly with subscribers. “I’m single. I don’t date. So, I have the freedom to talk to all of these guys and get flirty sometimes if I want… send sexy pictures and sexy lingerie… things that you would do if you had a man.”

It’s safe to say she’s not waiting for Playboy’s call.
