Alice Greczyn Instagram – From #purityculture to #PlayboyBunny! 🐰 Swipe to see the before! I’m Alice and it felt time for a reintroduction…
Many of you know me as a TV/film actress. I grew up as a homeschooled, purity ring-wearing, #evangelicalChristian. People always ask me what it’s like being an atheist in Hollywood—and why I became a Playboy Bunny. So, I put together this intro.
If you swipe, you’ll see me as a modestly dressed Christian missionary. My life’s purpose was to glorify God, especially through the teachings of #purityculture. This included covering myself so that I wouldn’t be a #stumblingblock—a pitfall of sin causing men to lust.
Everything changed when I was betrothed at 17 to a man I didn’t love. My faith not only cracked. It shattered.
This shattering ultimately led to my liberation. If you’re curious, I wrote a book about my journey called “Wayward: A Memoir of Spiritual Warfare & Sexual Purity.” TLDR: With years of therapy, an accidental career in Hollywood, and the love and grace of secular friends, I eventually healed from what I now know to be #religioustrauma.
In 2019, I founded @DaretoDoubt, a resource site for people detaching from belief systems they come to find harmful. Publishing my book further established my voice in #deconstruction and #atheist spaces. These days, I prefer describing myself as a #freethinker, for dogma is not limited to religion. My life’s purpose now is helping others free themselves from the shackles of fear and shame within any ideology.
Today, I’m a lot of things: a writer, a public speaker, a podcaster, and yes—a Playboy Bunny! Part of my healing from purity culture has been indulging my love of pinup and dress-up—or rather, dress-down… 🫦 I learned rebellion is sacred medicine.
“Playboy’s greatest critics through its history have been members of the Moral Right and what Hugh Hefner would have described as ‘radical feminists,’” says journalist Jamilah Lemiuex.
These are also my greatest critics. Link in bio for all the things that’ll show you why, from my writing to photography!💄🖋️
I’m so happy you’re here!
