Playboy Joins Pineapple Support as Sponsor

LOS ANGELES—Pineapple Support has named Playboy as a Support-Level sponsor, joining more than 50 other companies and firms that have committed funds to the mental health non-profit organization. “Pineapple Support provides a vital service for those in sex worker industry,” said Holly, Playboy’s associate director of subscriptions. “We feel honored to partner up with such an organization. Mental health is something that had been overlooked in the industry before Pineapple Support. We look forward to working closely with them and bringing the issues to light and getting everyone the support they need!” Pineapple Support was founded by British performer Leya Tanit in 2018, after a string of losses in the adult industry from depression and other mental illnesses. The organization offers mental health services, including free and low-cost therapy, counseling and emotional support. “We are extremely grateful to Playboy for their support,” Tanit said. “Having such a globally recognized adult brand means so much to an organization like ours and helps take away some of the stigma from mental health. Our spending on therapy tripled due to COVID-19, with requests for therapy having risen 65 percent in the past six months alone, so support from our partners is critical to meet that need."
