According to the New York Post, Jody charged a whopping $3000 for an evening for her services of Playboy models and porn star actresses. Her clientele apparently included public figures like Bruce Willis, baseball manager Tommy Lasorda, Sex Pistols member Steve Jones, film producer Don Simpson and former Texas Lt. Gov Ben Barnes- the names of which were revealed in a book called ‘Secrets of a Hollywood Super Madam’. The tell-all book was penned by Jody in the year 2007. Willis, Barnes, and Lasorda had later denied any association with Gibson’s business. Jody was jailed for three years but was released in 2002 after serving two years. She later published books like ‘Convicted: A True Story’ and ‘Seduced: Diary of a Double Dealing Spy’.

A few social media users took to Twitter to speak about Jody’s death. “She led a long and productive life” said one user as one close friend of hers tweeted, “Will so miss her bright spirit... sending love to family & friends tonight. I'm going to do a memorial show this week featuring clips of Babydol on Up All Night and other appearances we did together.”  Another user claimed, “Ive never heard of her - cant wait to see the documentary and movie.” Whereas, one mocked her name saying, “Babydol????  Was she missing a leg?”
