10 Things You Didn’t Know About Ashley Massaro

1. Her Playboy Shoot Mishap

In a later 2007 interview with IGN, Ashley told a funny, light-hearted story about her Playboy shoot.

The magazine's cover showed Massaro straddling a chair and looking seductively at the camera. There was nothing seductive about what had happened a few short minutes before. According to Ash, a photographer's assistant was asked to sit on the other side of the seat and make sure it was stable.

That was fine, but Massaro went to sit down on the thing without noticing he wasn't in place. The whole chair tumbled over and Ashley landed hard on the ground. She said that WWE staffers in attendance roared with laughter, and that horrified Playboy chiefs. Wary of legal action, they repeatedly offered to take Ashley to hospital.

She was having none of it and finished the shoot as planned, albeit with a red face. When the assistant apologised profusely for what had happened, Massaro palmed it off as an accident and said she should've been the one paying more attention.
