Victoria Nika Zdrok (born March 3, 1973 in Kiev, Ukraine) is an actress, author, and model. She was chosen as a Playboy Playmate in October 1994. In June 2002 she became Penthouse magazine's Pet of the Month, later being chosen as their 2004 Penthouse Pet of the Year. Zdrok is a star of elaborate adult videos, an attorney, a clinical psychologist, sex therapist and former goodwill ambassador. Zdrok graduated from Pensacola Junior College in Florida at age 17 and West Chester University in Pennsylvania at age 18 with a B.A. She earned a J.D. degree from the Law School at Villanova University and a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from Hahnemann Medical School. She aimed to specialize in the "area where law and psychology intersect" and originally intended to become a jury consultant. She later completed a post-doctoral qualification in sex therapy at the Robert Wood Johnson Medical School. Zdrok was crowned Philadelphia's "Best Beauty" in August 1994. She was later chosen as a Playboy Playmate of the Month in October 1994. In an interview, Zdrok claimed she would have been selected Playmate of the Year over Julie Lynn Cialini except for false rumors Zdrok said were circulated about her. She has appeared in videos, movies, talk shows and magazines. Zdrok posed for Penthouse magazine for their June 2002 issue as the Pet of the Month. In 2004, at the age of 30, she was named Penthouse Pet of the Year. She is the second centerfold, after Linn Thomas, to be both a Playboy Playmate and a Penthouse Pet. Zdrok has written several books on sex, including The Anatomy of Pleasure and Dr. Z on Scoring: How to Pick Up, Seduce and Hook Up With Hot Women. She also writes a monthly column in Penthouse magazine. n January 2001, her husband, Alexander Zdrok, sued her for monetary damages under their 1996 divorce property settlement, in which Victoria agreed to pay Alexander 15%% of earnings from her work for the next decade. Victoria claimed the settlement was invalid, and sought to seal the trial, but the court declined to do so. She appealed and lost this issue. On December 9, 2003, she settled with her husband for US$50,000. Afterwards, her ex-husband’s lawyer, Elliot Goldberg, expressed disappointment over not being able to reveal intimate details about Victoria Zdrok. In March 2004, after Zdrok was named Penthouse Pet of the Year, Alexander Zdrok again sued to overturn the most recent settlement. Judge Carroll Cody chastised him for filing the suit, but also said that while she did not consider Victoria Zdrok entirely truthful, there was no evidence that she would have know that she was going to receive $100,000 at the time of the settlement.
