I had lost my privacy after taking privacy from somebody else. Was it wrong to take the photo . Was it wrong to post it . Absolutely. Yes on both accounts . Yes on both accounts. Reporter mathers maintains she was trying to send the picture to a friend privately as part of an ongoing conversation but accidentally posted it publicly. It had no intent to be honest, i just finished an hourlong workout, sitting in a scalding hot sauna, i was exhausted, just in the middle of this conversation, and i literally just looked up, snapped a photo, and sent it. To what i thought was a friend. And it ended up being all of snapchat. Reporter she apologized online. That was absolutely wrong. And not what i meant to do. Reporter but that wasnt enough to stop the fallout. Her oncepromising career took a nose dive. Her radio show appearances were canceled. Modeling work dried up. Her relationship with playboy ended. You went from being the playmate of the year to no longer being with the company because of this . Yeah. Its been very hard financially, mentally. I worked very hard to get to that point. And kind of had to just say goodbye to it for now. Reporter authorities investigated the incident and charged her with criminal invasion of privacy. When you are undressed or partially undressed, you should be able to be sure that no one is going to, without your permission, distribute your photograph online for whatever reason. It wasnt just mean, it was illegal. Did you know that . I didnt have an intention of breaking a law. I just wasnt thinking.

Angeli, fourth year newer at resident, in the midst what was she said was an intoxicated temper tantrum while trying to get into someone elses uber. [ bleep ]. Im a 5 foot girl who weighs 100 pounds. Im getting really like belligerent right now. Reporter this drunken confrontation with her uber driver caught on camera and posted on social media. Turned her into an internet villain. Its been horrible. My family, first of all, has been targeted. Our home address was released. And people were showing up to the house. People were sending packages to the house. Reporter all this despite the fact that she immediately apologized to the driver and paid him damages. He accepted my apology. And i was very grateful he didnt press any charges. I had no further problems with him that night. Reporter but once the video started exploding on the internet, the judge and juries on social media began weighing in. Calling her an arrogant drunk little brat, that she be charged with assault, should not be practicing medicine. Her employer Jackson Health system put her on administrative leave and moved to terminate her. I would not wish this on my worst enemy. Ive received death threats. I received messages people telling me, you should kill yourself, you dont deserve to live. Multiple messages saying, you should have been raped that night. This poor girl had a bad day, and shes going to pay the price. Weve all had a bad day, and we should consider ourselves lucky that we didnt get caught when we were talking to someone this way. All day, every day, its something that ive learned from this, think before you act, think before you speak, before you type. Reporter dani mathers says she of all people should have known better, claiming she too has been body shamed. Ive gotten that im too short to do certain jobs, ive beenha too skinny. Can you understand how it might be hard for someone in the public to understand where youre coming from when i ask you about body shaming, you say yes, people tell me im too skinny . I do understand that that wont be perceived in a very easy way. But i do stand by that. I think theres all forms of bullying. Reporter mathers pled no contest in court last week. She was sentenced to 30 days of community service. What do you have to say to people who may watch this and think, youre pandering, youre just trying to say the things that they want to hear so that people wont hate you . Im not a bully. I am a human who made an awful mistake. And its something that cant be taken back. Reporter but that is little solace for the victim, who prosecutors say instantly recognized herself in the snap. Obviously she was humiliated. And she didnt want to be a subject of such photograph. Is there anything you want to say to her . I just want her to be able to move on and move forward in her life and not feel judged and not feel that she wasnt enough or that what she was doing was being ridiculed. Because it had nothing to do with that. And that im so sorry. It was never my intention to hurt her. And that i hope that she can forgive me. I dont expect her to forget. I dont expect her to like me. I just i really want her forgiveness. Reporter for nightline im Kayna Whitworth in los angeles. Next, the role of a lifetime.
