  • From the cult-like world of Playboy, financial abuse at the hands of her husband and building her life up after leaving the “bunny” empire at 31, Crystal Hefner is a NYT best selling Author, American model and the third wife of Hugh Hefner.
    Crystal reveals how she entered the Playboy mansion as a young, introverted women; the collateral damage of a highly competitive and misogynistic environment. Running away from a cover-shoot 5 days before her wedding, and how she took back her power over the last decade.
    This is an empowering conversation about choosing yourself after years of objectification and misogyny.

      I definitely wanted to see both perspectives. The interview with Marston was great. I'm not disliking her as much as I thought I would. I think she believes her own narrative. She probably shouldn't have been in that environment if she wasn't into a sugar daddy dynamic naturally. I think Holly and Bridgette view things more positively and viewed being at the mansion as a family.

    I'm wondering what hefner's children from his first wife think of this woman dragging their mom in several interviews with cheating accusations 1:50 when in this woman's own book she clearly admits to going off to have an affair with a younger man near the end of her husband's life while he was sick and frail and him begging her not to leave but she left to cheat anyway🥴

    interesting from the get go "did you love him" she immediately goes to if he loves her. Then says 'he loved his kids, then me sadly". Something seems off....How is she acting so coy and shy, she knew what she was doing when she applied to go to the party, you have to send in a photo to get approved, she clearly thought she fit the bill and had intent, this was 4 years into a tv show she saw and knew what it was about. She didn't profit off him? she got a 3 mil house, 1k a week probably better tv compensation that the original girls ever got for girl next door, she is selling books profiting off him and keeping his name, she is the president of his legacy charity board and probably getting a heap of money off of that while changing what everything playboy did stand for. I am sorry but playboy worked because a lot of people saw it as 'BEAUTY' and she did too that;s why she morphed into it. Victoria secret went from the most watched runway show to completely ruined because there is a standard of beauty. like it or not. She comes off so fake and rehearsed
