well I think the issue pointed out by the author is that she chose not to connect herself to those photos, but Hugh Hefner forced the connection to happen...by putting her nude photos on his magazine along with her real name. She did not want her real name to be associated with the photos in the first place.

It reminds me how there was a college student who had a pseudonym as a porn actress to earn money for college. And then her classmate shared her naked videos with everyone at the school.
