Crystal Hefner is not holding back. During an appearance on the“Lisa Guerrero Unleashed”podcast, Hugh Hefner’s widow said she did whatever he wanted sexually, including acts she found painful and describes as non-consensual. She also alleged he tried to force twins Kristina and Karissa Shannon into incestuous contact and made playmates use visibly dirty sex toys.“That is incest. That is disgusting,”she said of the allegation involving the twins.
Crystal, 40, was married to Hefner from 2012 until his death in 2017 at age 91. Since publishing her 2024 memoir“Only Say Good Things,”she has become increasingly outspoken, and she’s not the only one: Karissa Shannon has said sex with Hefner was“like rape.”Now Crystal is publicly asking Jessica Biel not to portray her in the upcoming“Playmates”film, citing the abuse allegations.
Hefner’s legacy has been under renewed scrutiny for years, and these new allegations arrive right as a major film about the Playboy world is heading toward production. Whether the“Playmates”team responds to Crystal’s request is now one of the most-watched questions in Hollywood.
Do you think the“Playmates”film should address these allegations, or should it focus elsewhere? Let us know in the comments.
