In the 90s, Linda Johansen (53) worked as an editor for the soft porn magazine Lek, in parallel as a glamor model. Among other things, it took her to the front of the Penthouse, led her to a flirtation with actress Charlie Sheen, and made her end up inside the Playboy house.
However, it is 20 years since she put her modeling and porn career on the shelf, and since then Johansen has done well as a beauty entrepreneur.
– I got food from friends
– Still called Lek-Linda
On a visit to Anne Lindmo, in the program that is broadcast on Friday night, she tells about how the stamp that Lek-Linda has attached itself – despite the fact that it is two decades since she left the industry.
– I was in my soft, small industry for four or five years, and I am still called Play-Linda, or naked-Linda, or porn-Linda, or whatever it may be. It has been a struggle to get rid of that stamp. There was no internet at the time, and there were no digital photos, so few knew about it. Today it will be with you forever, says the 53-year-old.

She says this in connection with the fact that she thinks it is sad to see reality participants have sex on TV.
– I cheer for young people to dare to step out of their comfort zone and push boundaries, I cheer for that. But to live out their sexual madness, and think that for everything in the world I will become a celebrity, therefore I will have sex on TV, I think that is a very bad idea, she continues.

Johansen tells Lindmo that she would like to tell the reality participants about how awkward it is when the family finds it difficult.
– It’s really weird when your dad sits and sees these things. It is also really awkward when it comes and bites you in the ass 20 years later, says Johansen.
Such was our relationship with the Playboy king
Found happiness after the porn industry
The 53-year-old tells Dagbladet that she herself buried Lek-Linda 20 years ago.
– Unfortunately, it’s not up to me. She still lives with many others, she writes in a text message.

She says that she does not regret her 90s jobs, and that she must own her story and be responsible for what she has done.
– But it was only when I completely changed tracks and withdrew from the limelight that I eventually had success, and became happy. Happy to be part of a family that loved me, she writes.
Fooled in “sex trap” after reality
Johansen tells Dagbladet that she thinks it is important to warn reality participants to make them, who are on the threshold of becoming adults, aware of what they are joining.
– There have been many media cases lately that those who have joined such concepts do not exactly get the glamorous life they may have imagined.
Boasted of butt lift. Gets refs
The former glamor model is believed by many to search for celebrity status because they believe it solves problems, and because one does not feel good enough.
– The problem is that the “ugly on the back” only gets stronger and often you can think that you need to become even more known for everything to be good. It never gets good just because you are famous. Maybe you are liked and seen, but usually the head chooses to listen to everyone who gives you negative reviews, she thinks.
