Crystal Hefner is pulling back the curtain on the Playboy Mansion. In a new interview with Page Six tied to her podcast“After the Mansion,”Hugh Hefner’s widow said“horrific, horrible men”passed through the famous estate — and she named Bill Cosby, Donald Trump, Jack Nicholson and Arnold Schwarzenegger as regulars she criticized. She also described a hallway gallery of celebrities her late husband admired, calling it misogynistic and horrible.
The quote blowing up social media is her description of Jon Lovitz as the mansion’s“No. 1 customer”and“one of the biggest pervs”in Hollywood. Lovitz didn’t flinch, telling Page Six that“any time someone says I’m No. 1, it’s a compliment,”while defending Hugh as generous. Crystal did have kind words for some guests, praising Julie Newmar and Mark Hamill as good people who visited.
Underneath the celebrity noise, Crystal repeated serious abuse allegations against Hugh, including claims involving the Shannon twins, and said she is“not afraid anymore.”The story is equal parts pop-culture bombshell and a harder conversation about the mansion’s culture and the women who worked there. Which name on her list do you think should respond first?
