Speaker 2: Hi, everyone, welcome back to Facing Evil. I'm Roscha Pacerrero.
Speaker 3: And I'm Yvette Genteeley, and today we're talking about the
Speaker 3: case of Dorothy Stratton. Y'all might know about this one
Speaker 3: because it was a big story when it happened back
Speaker 3: in the eighties.
Speaker 2: Yes, I remember this case. Dorothy's case even inspired multiple movies,
Speaker 2: including the nineteen eighty one movie Death of a Centerfold
Speaker 2: The Dorothy Stratton Story, starring Jamie Lee Curtis, and there
Speaker 2: were also numerous songs that were written about the case,
Speaker 2: including Californication by the Hot Chili Pepper's personal favorite of
Speaker 2: mine and the Best Was Yet to Come by Brian Adams.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I so remember all those songs. But we also have
Speaker 3: to remember that Dorothy, she was an actress and a
Speaker 3: playboy motto who dealt with abuse at the hands of
Speaker 3: her controlling husband, who she was estranged from at the time,
Speaker 3: and sadly, the story ends in her tragic murder.
Speaker 2: Yeah, heartbreaking. And today we want to use Dorothy's story
Speaker 2: as a jumping off point to talk about intimate partner
Speaker 2: violence and why it's so prevalent. But first our producer
Speaker 2: Trevor is going to take us through today's case.
Speaker 1: After catching the eye of iconic mogul Hugh Hefner, she
Speaker 1: was crowned nineteen eighty Playmate of the Year.
Speaker 3: She never felt that there was any danger in anything
Speaker 3: with Paul Sneyer. He pushed her to marry him. She
Speaker 3: I don't think really wanted to.
Speaker 2: She was the meal ticket, but he was afraid that
Speaker 2: he could lose her.
Speaker 4: She did.
Speaker 1: Dorothy Stratton was a twenty year old actress and playboy
Speaker 1: model who was killed by her husband in nineteen eighty
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles. Dorothy grew up in Vancouver, British Columbia,
Speaker 1: and while in high school, she met a man named
Speaker 1: Paul Snyder. Snyder was a successful promoter for car shows,
Speaker 1: but he soon took to less than legitimate ways to
Speaker 1: make money, namely pimping. In the summer of nineteen seventy eight,
Speaker 1: Snyder had a professional photographer take nude photos of then
Speaker 1: eighteen year old Dorothy and send them to Playboy for
Speaker 1: the Great Playmate Hunt of nineteen seventy eight. Dorothy was
Speaker 1: chosen as a finalist, and so she and Paul Snyder
Speaker 1: moved together to Los Angeles, California. The following year, they
Speaker 1: got married in Las Vegas. At the time, she was
Speaker 1: nineteen and he was twenty eight. Dorothy eventually became Playboy's
Speaker 1: Miss August nineteen seventy nine and started to work as
Speaker 1: a Playboy bunny. Hugh Hefner decided that Dorothy should act
Speaker 1: and got her roles in episodes of Fantasy Island and
Speaker 1: Buck Rogers. Meanwhile, Snyder became her chauffeur, manager, and acting coach.
Speaker 1: The two reportedly argued daily, often leading to verbal and
Speaker 1: physical escalation. Roseanne Cayton, a fellow playmate, warned Dorothy to
Speaker 1: leave Snyder. Hefner also tried to get Dorothy away from Snyder,
Speaker 1: calling him quote a hustler and a pimp. In March
Speaker 1: of nineteen eighty, Dorothy landed a role in the film
Speaker 1: They All Laughed, a romantic comedy written and directed by
Speaker 1: Peter Bogdanovitch, and then Dorothy began an affair with Bogdanovich
Speaker 1: while filming in New York. She wrote to Snyder asking
Speaker 1: him for more freedom in their marriage, but Snyder called
Speaker 1: her and flew into a rage. And then, when Dorothy
Speaker 1: was on a tour stop in Vancouver, Snyder flew into
Speaker 1: town and convinced Dorothy to make nightclub appearances instead of
Speaker 1: fulfilling her playboy duties. Snyder then pocketed all the money
Speaker 1: she made from the appearances and disappeared. In June of
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty, Dorothy sent Snyder a letter announcing they were separating.
Speaker 1: In response, Snyder emptied their bank account and started an
Speaker 1: affair with an old girlfriend. He also sold off Dorothy's
Speaker 1: Playmate of the Year prizes. In July, Snyder obtained a
Speaker 1: gun and he camped outside Bogdanovitch's house with the goal
Speaker 1: of confronting Dorothy and the director when they came home,
Speaker 1: But after hours of waiting, he finally gave up and left.
Speaker 1: And then on August fourteenth, Dorothy told Snyder she would
Speaker 1: come by his house to give him some settlement money.
Speaker 1: Her business manager had told her she should let her
Speaker 1: lawyer deal with Snyder, but Dorothy refused the advice and
Speaker 1: insisted that she'd deal with him personally, saying quote, I'd
Speaker 1: like to remain his friend. When Dorothy arrived at Snyder's house,
Speaker 1: his roommates had left for the day. The two spent
Speaker 1: some time in the living room before they went back
Speaker 1: to the bedroom. About an hour lefe Snyder shot Dorothy,
Speaker 1: and an hour after that he shot himself. The story
Speaker 1: was a major tabloid sensation. When interviewed, Hefner said, quote,
Speaker 1: a very sick guy saw his meal ticket and his
Speaker 1: connection to power or whatever slipping away, and it was
Speaker 1: that that made him kill her end quote. And So,
Speaker 1: how does the case of Dorothy Stratton reveal a bigger
Speaker 1: issue of intimate partner violence and its prevalence in American culture?
Speaker 3: Well, welcome back to Facing Evil.
Speaker 2: So the issue of intimate partner abuse, of course, is
Speaker 2: a huge issue that we've talked about many times on
Speaker 2: our podcast, and Dorothy Stratton is just one of millions
Speaker 2: of people who have dealt with violence at the hands
Speaker 2: of a partner. So today we are so honored and
Speaker 2: humbled to welcome an amazing expert on this issue and
Speaker 2: that is doctor Junkog Cho, and doctor Cho is an
Speaker 2: associate professor at Michigan State University's College of Social Science.
Speaker 2: He's published numerous studies and journals on the issues of
Speaker 2: intimate partner violence. So doctor Cho, welcome a Komo may
Speaker 2: to Facing Evil.
Speaker 4: Thanks for having me. It's my great pleasure.
Speaker 3: N thank you so much, doctor Choe for being here.
Speaker 3: We're going to start. First of all, if you could
Speaker 3: tell us how you got into this work, you know,
Speaker 3: and in particularly what brought you to the issue of
Speaker 3: intimate partner violence.
Speaker 4: Yes, I can share some of my stories. So probably
Speaker 4: my first memory of witnessing patterner of violence was when
Speaker 4: I was very leader in Korea, so where I came from,
Speaker 4: So probably I was like five years old or six,
Speaker 4: and at the time is nineteen sixties or early seventies, so
Speaker 4: it was not that uncommon in Korea at the time,
Speaker 4: Like seeing like a drunken, angry man dragging around seeing
Speaker 4: me their wives on street and beating them and yelling
Speaker 4: at them. So I felt very bad, But I don't
Speaker 4: remember like any person actually stepped in to stop it.
Speaker 4: Either they were afraid of being harassed themselves or I
Speaker 4: don't know. But that's rebot the memory, but a little
Speaker 4: more reasten to one is like them. A couple of
Speaker 4: my friends, female friends from my college, shared with me
Speaker 4: their experiences of their like hit by their partners or
Speaker 4: actually their husbands. So they are highly educated and intelligent
Speaker 4: and very capable, but stir they were victimized. So I
Speaker 4: was very perplexed and I wanted to know more. So
Speaker 4: it's about the same time I plan to go into
Speaker 4: a PhD program in the social work, so it's kind
Speaker 4: of the good match for me to be interested in
Speaker 4: the topic. And I wrote my destination about it.
Speaker 3: Wow, so it was very personal to you, starting from
Speaker 3: the time you were a child and then as you
Speaker 3: started to grow up.
Speaker 4: Yes, yes it is.
Speaker 2: I'm thankful for you because I've never had the opportunity
Speaker 2: to speak to an expert on intimate partner violence or
Speaker 2: expert of any kind on abuse. And I know that
Speaker 2: intimate partner violence doesn't only happen between couples, right like
Speaker 2: it happens whether you know a parent is abusing a
Speaker 2: child or even adults you know sadly abusing their elderly parents.
Speaker 2: But can you tell us a little bit more like
Speaker 2: how diverse this issue really is like it's not you know,
Speaker 2: between a man and a woman, right.
Speaker 4: Right, right, So you are correct when you mentioned like
Speaker 4: a lot of different types of violence happening between family
Speaker 4: members as well as like the caregivers, even for like
Speaker 4: elderly abuse, or even children can be abused or militreated
Speaker 4: by their teachers like that. So it's very diverse, and
Speaker 4: the many research consistently shows that itp is observed from
Speaker 4: every group, every community, every place of imaginable so legardilis
Speaker 4: of gender or sexual orientation or age or race and
Speaker 4: ethnicity and community types. Also, like the pattern of virons
Speaker 4: doesn't happen only against women, so men also serve from
Speaker 4: pattern of virons. But the numbers and the characteristics of
Speaker 4: violence experience are somewhat different between men and women. So
Speaker 4: for instance, like the Russia, you just mentioned a lot
Speaker 4: of different forms of violence including physical abuse, emotional abuse
Speaker 4: or psychological aggression or manuperation, controlling behaviors, obsessively limiting where
Speaker 4: you are and whom to talk to, and of course
Speaker 4: sexual assault and ray. All different types of violence are
Speaker 4: out there, and among those types of violence, women are
Speaker 4: deported more like sexual assault and severe revels of physical
Speaker 4: violence for instance, like beating up or like the lipiditid
Speaker 4: hit by weapons like that, and sexual assault is predominantly
Speaker 4: against women. Men deported a little bit comparable number and
Speaker 4: percentages of psychological aggressions, so it can be called emotional
Speaker 4: abuse or manuperation. Controlling behaviors, they seem to be comparitive
Speaker 4: between men and women. And one significant difference between men
Speaker 4: and women is the negative consequences of virns on their health.
Speaker 4: So women reported way severe levels of injury like broken
Speaker 4: bones or fracture or heavy bruises compared to men. So
Speaker 4: they are like certain differences between men and women. But
Speaker 4: still we cannot argue against that. So they are out.
Speaker 2: There right, can't discount it, right, So you know another question,
Speaker 2: doctor Choe, I mean, what are the most common stories
Speaker 2: that you hear about you know, for instance, we are
Speaker 2: talking about Dorothy Stratton who was a very famous model,
Speaker 2: you know, playboo model in.
Speaker 3: The eighties and she was killed by her controlling, abusive husband.
Speaker 3: Do you think there's a difference between fame and power money.
Speaker 3: What are the most common stories that you hear about
Speaker 3: these behaviors?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I believe there's a hot casion to answer, because
Speaker 4: we're just discuss how diverse I PV is, so like
Speaker 4: picking a very common story among all those diversities hot cusion.
Speaker 4: But at this time we can share like a couple
Speaker 4: of different types of stories that we consistently watch. So
Speaker 4: we're talking about server groups of all different types of experience.
Speaker 4: So like that, there are many scholars try hard to
Speaker 4: create some manager number of server groups. Two or three
Speaker 4: types of old IPD based on their similarities. So one
Speaker 4: of them was created by doctor Johnson. I believe he
Speaker 4: was a sociology professor at Penn State. So he created
Speaker 4: like three different types of pattern of violence. First one
Speaker 4: is probably similar to the case you just lifered. He
Speaker 4: called it as a domestic terrorism. So one partner having
Speaker 4: an more power and resources compared to other partner, and
Speaker 4: they use their enormous advantage in terms of power to
Speaker 4: control another partner, including violence. So he observed like that
Speaker 4: kind of virons predominantly committed by men against the women
Speaker 4: I see. So about according to his observation, about fifteen
Speaker 4: to twenty percent of patterner virolens maybe classified into that
Speaker 4: form of domestic terrorism. Okay, okay, that might be one
Speaker 4: story may be very close to the case we are
Speaker 4: talking about today. Yeah. Another form is he called it
Speaker 4: like a situational partner violence or situational couple of violence.
Speaker 4: So in terms of severity or frequency or consequences, it's
Speaker 4: a reader. Let's a severe compared to domestic terrorism, which
Speaker 4: is discussed, So let's severe levels of physical violence, like
Speaker 4: so instead of like a using knife or weapon, or beating,
Speaker 4: like pushing like it's frequently used, or like throwing a
Speaker 4: pillow against your partner over some disagreement or dispute or
Speaker 4: some conflict.
Speaker 3: Less severe.
Speaker 4: So men and women can use such violence occasionally, not frequently.
Speaker 4: So that's why it's called the situational. So if they
Speaker 4: are intoxicated or under like the some heavy stress from
Speaker 4: like childcare or like employment or COVID, then under the
Speaker 4: high pressure, they might rely on violence to reserve or
Speaker 4: express their discomfort or frustration. So they're called a situation
Speaker 4: a couple of violence. So in terms of a number,
Speaker 4: about half or more of a pattern of violence may
Speaker 4: be built as a dead type, so embolving lesser severe
Speaker 4: violence of still very serious in terms of consequences, but
Speaker 4: men and women may evolve in a little pretty even percentages.
Speaker 4: And another line, the type of violence conjured by doctor
Speaker 4: Johnson is called the violent resistance, which means like involving
Speaker 4: self defense. So, for instance, police was called into the
Speaker 4: domestic violence scene and they found both partners embolved in
Speaker 4: some kind of physical confrontation and use of violence, so
Speaker 4: they arrested the both of them. But later on they
Speaker 4: found actually one partner reacted against like the violence physical
Speaker 4: force p pictured by another partner. But police didn't have
Speaker 4: much time to tell difference between whomever like initiate the
Speaker 4: violence and who defend themselves against the violence. So they
Speaker 4: are the types of violence, and in terms of a number,
Speaker 4: about twenty percent twenty five percent or partner violence probably
Speaker 4: classify the them. But still Legardi I saw forms of
Speaker 4: pattern of vironce condgative consequences in terms of health and
Speaker 4: social function onto survivors or victims very severe, very serious.
Speaker 4: So we have to treat all forms of patternal violence
Speaker 4: very seriously.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's all trauma, right, like it's yeah, it's all trauma, yeah,
Speaker 2: in whatever form. Speaking along those lines with psychology, this
Speaker 2: is something it's interesting, right, Like I think hurt people.
Speaker 2: Hurt people, right, and that's the term you know we've
Speaker 2: been told and hear it facing evil or much more
Speaker 2: about the like how do you heal from that? And
Speaker 2: like I thankfully have never repeated any of the abuse
Speaker 2: that has been done to me. You know, our mom
Speaker 2: never repeated it to us. And you know, but that
Speaker 2: didn't happen for my dad in particular, or I don't
Speaker 2: know what Dorothy Stratton's a strange husband, what he went
Speaker 2: through before he you know, did horrible things to Dorothy
Speaker 2: or anyone.
Speaker 3: But why do you.
Speaker 2: Think sociologically or psychologically, like why do these people feel
Speaker 2: the need these abusers, like why do they need to control,
Speaker 2: manipulate or.
Speaker 3: Harm these people that they love?
Speaker 2: Like I know again, I'm sure it's a wide variety
Speaker 2: of answers, But from a scientific standpoint, what do you think, If.
Speaker 4: I can be overly simplistic, then the answer is because
Speaker 4: they can, right, they can use violence without any restriction
Speaker 4: either like their partner being abused didn't have much power
Speaker 4: then them, so they feel free to do whatever they
Speaker 4: want and society or neighbors or even authorities didn't see
Speaker 4: them as a serious right or even like use some
Speaker 4: form of violence and conceive that as some kind of
Speaker 4: expression of love or another form of some loving relationship,
Speaker 4: different but private matter, and we don't have it to
Speaker 4: step in. So because of such like a little bit
Speaker 4: leniency in terms of social acceptance of a violence. Also
Speaker 4: like the victim shaming culture. So when we are in pain,
Speaker 4: then it's natural for us to talk to somebody to
Speaker 4: feel better and to seek for some health. And but
Speaker 4: if I share something, then what if my friend or
Speaker 4: parents or teachers say no, no, no, no, so what did
Speaker 4: you do and where are you there? And if they
Speaker 4: have a repeated experience like that, then we internalize the
Speaker 4: process of shaming as if we actually embolve in very
Speaker 4: shame for activity, so we just never sick help ever. Again,
Speaker 4: so because of such a social environment, perpetrator may feel free. Wow,
Speaker 4: that's like one interpretation and explanation. Another one is like
Speaker 4: like a feminist take is like power and control mechanism
Speaker 4: what they call. So it's very similar to again the
Speaker 4: case we are talking about. So if one partner have
Speaker 4: enormous fame and power not comparably to the other partner,
Speaker 4: then this partner used their power to control another partner's
Speaker 4: behavior perception for their gain, to their advantage. Yeah, Historically,
Speaker 4: like a man seemed to progest much more power compared
Speaker 4: to women. So that's why, like the most of very
Speaker 4: severe virons actually porpetraed by men because they had a
Speaker 4: more power over women. Right. At the same time, we
Speaker 4: cannot ignore like the presence of other types of partner violence.
Speaker 4: Men also suffer the from a partner violence. And some
Speaker 4: famous like a male egg actually sexually assorted another malectoral
Speaker 4: or actors allegedly, So it can happen to whatever a relationship,
Speaker 4: not only for men and women or a heterosexual or
Speaker 4: same sex. It can happen there. Then probably like power
Speaker 4: and control can be or cannot be applied.
Speaker 5: I feel like this is a therapy session, doctor Joe,
Speaker 5: I love it.
Speaker 4: Another theory may be based on like the some gruel
Speaker 4: people and they don't have like a good conflicted resolution skills, right,
Speaker 4: So conflict isn't natural, so it can happen between any
Speaker 4: patterns because we are different from each other. But some
Speaker 4: persons or some group people do not have a good
Speaker 4: exposure to the healthy way of conflicted resolution. So either
Speaker 4: they were raised in very violent community, then the only
Speaker 4: bio option for them to achieve something is use of violence. Right,
Speaker 4: and when they observe the dead like kind of gang affiliation,
Speaker 4: like some motivation for youth in the public community as
Speaker 4: a very few way to go up to the like
Speaker 4: hierarchical social structure. So there might be another theory. So
Speaker 4: it's very hard to choose one or two. But I'm
Speaker 4: just giving you some choices of theory.
Speaker 3: Right, which we appreciate. Yeah, we're learning, yeah, very much. So,
Speaker 3: I mean, we know how prevalent, you know, intimate partner
Speaker 3: violence is, especially here in America, and we know the
Speaker 3: numbers are quite high. Do you know, is it higher
Speaker 3: in other countries compared to here?
Speaker 4: May or may not. So it depends on which country
Speaker 4: are we are comparing us with. So like United Nations
Speaker 4: released like the formerly port about pattern of violence prevalence
Speaker 4: across the glove and according to recent the port, United
Speaker 4: States shows like comparable numbers across like the developed countries.
Speaker 4: So I mentioned I came from Korea, so I know
Speaker 4: the numbers are pretty pretty similar between Korea and United States.
Speaker 4: But compared to like the like underdeveloped countries or far
Speaker 4: remote countries like for instance, un identify the ten countries
Speaker 4: that show the highest prevalence of a pattern of violence.
Speaker 4: So a couple of African countries, for instance a Congo
Speaker 4: or Iberia included in the RIST and couple of Pacific
Speaker 4: island nations including Papua New Guinea or Solomon Islands also
Speaker 4: show like about half of the population the party some
Speaker 4: form of violence.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 4: So we don't know for sure why. It may be
Speaker 4: because like the Mail patriarchy, maybe stronger there, or there
Speaker 4: may be some religious influence if any religion or social
Speaker 4: loans or community values, socialized community members into certain expectations,
Speaker 4: certain growth of people can use violence. Whyas another groups
Speaker 4: of people just have to suffer for some something. The
Speaker 4: United States not the worst, or we cannot say worse
Speaker 4: than most of the countries, but very severe in terms
Speaker 4: of number percentage. So let me give you a number. Okay,
Speaker 4: So annually we know that about six percent of or
Speaker 4: other two women, so in terms of number is about
Speaker 4: seven million the party the experienced some form of sexual
Speaker 4: violence fishical views and starking. Wow. And a little smaller
Speaker 4: number four men, but still about six million. Other men
Speaker 4: aged eighteen or over also reported the physical violence and
Speaker 4: starking victimization. Again, there are differences, right, So women deported
Speaker 4: the more sexual violence starking whyas men deported the similar
Speaker 4: levels of psychological abuse.
Speaker 3: But still very high.
Speaker 5: Yeah, doctor Chol, like you spoke earlier about shame, right,
Speaker 5: and just sharing from my own experience, Like I didn't
Speaker 5: tell a soul that I was.
Speaker 2: Physically, verbally and emotionally abused until I was twenty one
Speaker 2: years old, and that was because that last time I
Speaker 2: almost died, And I think I kind of like flipped
Speaker 2: and I'm like, oh, I can't not tell everyone, you know,
Speaker 2: but I didn't press charges.
Speaker 3: I didn't report it out of shame.
Speaker 2: Just by you saying all that, Like, I can only
Speaker 2: imagine what it's like in all these other countries where
Speaker 2: culturally maybe they're not supposed to report it.
Speaker 3: Right, and probably there they don't have the resources as well. Right,
Speaker 3: I think this is probably the most important question. How
Speaker 3: do we break the cycle?
Speaker 4: I believe like making our society egalitarian and more diverse
Speaker 4: and inclusive and equitable is the probably the most important
Speaker 4: thing we have to pursue. But it's a wrong term goal, right.
Speaker 4: We cannot expect like our society is a change overnight. Okay,
Speaker 4: all women are like equal to and we have to
Speaker 4: pay equal amount of money to regard it with their
Speaker 4: gender sexual orientation, we cannot expect that, but still we
Speaker 4: have to try hard. So and another area that we
Speaker 4: can make it for this education, so let them know.
Speaker 4: So it's much better if we can start early because
Speaker 4: the norms values about healthy relationship or like the how
Speaker 4: bad it is to rely on violence. It can be
Speaker 4: educated or it can be socialized very early on. Then
Speaker 4: we can keep that ressent and valuus all our lifetime.
Speaker 4: So like the about the nature of violence, or what
Speaker 4: would be the healthy relationship look like? And what can
Speaker 4: be done if your witness something going on or your
Speaker 4: friend share this thing is going on, or your friend
Speaker 4: said nothing but you felt something different. Not not questioning
Speaker 4: them or not intimidating them, not overly charged the way,
Speaker 4: so that that kind of education training can be done
Speaker 4: very early on, because like repetition is the key also
Speaker 4: education because we can be forgetful and as we live
Speaker 4: on we are exposed to all different types of environment
Speaker 4: and probably one lesson we took from early education may
Speaker 4: not be suitable for another situation, like workplace harassment is
Speaker 4: very different from like dating violence at school or tempus.
Speaker 4: So we need like a continuous education of training, and
Speaker 4: of course we need a resource to keep that education
Speaker 4: going on. Yes, some of you mentioned like the nobody
Speaker 4: did anything or I mentioned that right, so I witnessed
Speaker 4: the pattern of violence. Most of us that don't know
Speaker 4: how to embolve in that situation. Either we are very
Speaker 4: afraid of we can be another victim, or we know
Speaker 4: both partners so we don't know how to tell them.
Speaker 4: So I stand the intervention is one of the most
Speaker 4: effective way to come back everging present pattern of violence.
Speaker 4: We shouldn't know how to intervene into a pattern of violence,
Speaker 4: either share the one or happening in front of us.
Speaker 4: So that kind of education training also the key. And
Speaker 4: probably like the every of us should know something about
Speaker 4: pattern of violence, how to talk to or if your friend,
Speaker 4: share them, how to listen to, how to respect and
Speaker 4: that question that challenging, just the trust and believe and
Speaker 4: how to support shaming, yeah, not shaming, and let them
Speaker 4: feel supported.
Speaker 2: So so beautiful, you have laid it all out for us,
Speaker 2: doctor Chow. We so appreciate your expertise, your knowledge, your wisdom.
Speaker 2: Thank you for sharing your story, you know, from when

Speaker 4: painful story and let us let us just the part

Speaker 3: but the beauty and the raw talent she shared with
Speaker 3: the world will linger on forever.
