CRYSTAL HEFNER: WHAT LIFE WAS REALLY LIKE INSIDE THE PLAYBOY MANSION
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 17 июн 2024
- 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.

Everyone should watch holly and Bridget's podcast with his son. What they think of crystal "HEFNERS" Book
I love their podcast! It’s important to remember two things can simultaneously be true 🤍
A lot of truth there with the podcast with holly and Bridgette
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.
Yes! Crystal is such an attention seeker. It’s really sad what she’s doing
Absolutely agree. It is a MUST watch. It is important to get everyone's perspective. Two things are can true. That said, I really respect Hue's son, Marston. His opinion on this situation is very very illuminating.
Team Holly and Bridget. But also wish Crystal well in her recovery from trauma
Still using his name though 😒
No, she's not. Listen to the whole interview.
It’s her legal name .. duh
Who cares using his name she was his wife and putting up with that pervert she's earned it and all the fruits that comes with it
She’s not using his name, she has her own name and her own person.
It’s good for business
Team Holly and Bridget!!!!
I’m not sure I understand the beef. They were not in the same relationship as Crystal. What are Holly and Bridget’s issues?
@@LG-jm6eqthey are hypocrites and jealous of Crystal, Holly is a narcissist
Holly has also complained about abuse so why are you taking sides?
This Interviewer is fantastic! so sweet and engaging
Why does she whisper most of the interview. Gawd I almost had a stroke when the commercial came on- volume was turned way up.
Thanks for the warning! Hahaha
“I’m an introvert “.. as I run to the tabloids to talk shit about Holly, Bridget and his son Marston.
Spot on!
🤔 Great interview, and the compassion, kindness, and professionalism that’s shown to Hef’s widow is refreshing, to say the least.
You should listen to this weeks girls next level with hefs son marston talking about the book!
He lives like a KING. He could get some heartache from woman who did take off there clothers.
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🥴
What a powerful interview
“If the relationship is anything less than nurturing, run” - an important message we should be reminding ourselves of constantly, I hope she heals ❤
Yeah, but jeez! This man has been around for a long time and didn’t we all know more than we wanted to about who he was and how he lived? For her to make that choice to be with him… I don’t have very much sympathy 🤷🏼♀️
@@coconutty4808 not everyone has the self-esteem in place to make the courageous decision to leave. The human brain is designed to remain in familiar situations as its easier to predict the future, keeping you "safe". But sadly this includes situations that are unhealthy. The brain deems the unhealthy situation "safer" than the unknown future situation if you decide to change. The longer the situation, the harder it is to break the neural circuit. Its why a lot of people (mainly women) stay in abusive relationships. Also, looking from an outsiders perspective makes it much easier to see the difference, we have no emotions in place tied to the situation. It's okay to have your opinions of course, but try lead with curiosity rather than judgement
Great chat😉
Good interview. Best of luck to her.
Jamie is so talented as an interviewer! I'm so struck with how attuned he is to his guests!!
I found this interview really interesting and my preconceived idea of a “playboy bunny” was challenged. I think I’ll buy the book to learn more about her story. I’ve followed Jaime since his Made In Chelsea days and I’m so pleased to see his success - these are great interviews and you have such a talent for talking to people - getting some great insights from your guests whilst being positive and understanding, and not pushing an agenda. 👏🏻
Love this interview! As a huge fan of holly and Bridget, it’s important to remember two things can simultaneously be true 🤍. Loved getting crystals perspective and I wish her the best 🌸
So sad that some people think it's completely okay to invite people to a party based on the way they look, but as Crystal said... What he wanted, he got!
its HIS party, he can do as he pleases, just as you can choose who goes to your party and use any criteria.
@jessicab2682 that's not normal behaviour, it's sexist and toxic
@@user-bq2ko2tb2w are you serious? That's like saying every person should be invited to every Hollywood party, every glitzy event. That's not the way it works. If anyone can step foot into private parties they lose their purpose, exclusivity and mystique. No one who finds issue with that wants to go anywhere
I love it you always ask the questions we want to know! Where’s your mate is she behind the rope? 😂😂😂
why isn't she angry with her mom for encouraging this lifestyle her whole life? has a lot of misdirected anger and frustration toward her husband who gave her the luxurious lifestyle she is living today as she keeps his last name.
You might be right. However mom didn't want her to live in poverty.
She's angry because he was misogynistic
I love watching Crystal process all of this, I think it speaks to a lot of people’s journeys.
A person no one would care about if it wasn’t for Hugh Hefner yet proceeds to bash him now that he has passed. Stay classy
How the hell do you know she's a person no-one would care about if it weren't for him?
You don't know.
How dare you just assume things about her when you don't know her.
Show me someone who hasn't been young and influenced and/or manipulated. Then controlled.
Predators prey on the vulnerable. They can spot them a mile off and Hefner was without a doubt predatory.
He was very misogynistic, she is allowed to speak out about abuse
And I agree with Kimberly. There are those that keep trying to profit from their experience at the mansion. All could’ve left and some did. Crystal came back. I’ll never buy any of their books.
I glad Crystal you said --- your making money from Playboy. Hugh did make money from women and got $800,000 from the Runaway Bride. So you have a right to make money off of him. Holly is making money from Playboy and Bridgette. Why shouldn't you. You saw him when he was gone...... Good Luck.
Love love love Jamie, but she’s quite a hard shift as an interviewee … with Jamie’s skills it turned out good . She is as she says introverted .
Don’t know why you marry someone you don’t love. I love how her sentences end in a whisper.
I just don’t buy her BS. Why did she stay and what made her come back once she left? She has no reason to whine about how bad things were now. Not only did she leave, she came back.
First time listener to this podcast and Crystals story and I must say I will be listening to more episodes from this podcast and read Crystals book! I’m in awe at how attentive the podcast host is and I love Crystals energy! 🫶
Wow, what was it that drew you, as a 10 year old boy, to Playboy?
- Freedom. I could see the huge huge freedom.
😂😂😂😂
Playboy is sexist and creepy and so is this comment
Team Holly & Bridget! ✨️ Crystal knew what she was & is doing. $$$$
"I think he only loved himself" nope, he loved Holly, you.judt filled the void when she wanted nothing else to do with Hef. You can't be honest in this interview and you can't be honest in your book, so it shouldn't be surprising
"I don't need that name" if you REALLY wanted to change your name from Hefner, you would have done it BEFORE releasing the book. You PURELY kept it to sell the book because you know no one would give the slightest bit of shit without the last name "Hefner" and the purely fictional subtitle "surviving Playboy"
True but Hef didn't want marry Holly so she left.
He said he made a mistake by not marrying holly he said that on the show. She left him.
She didn’t love him and she wasn’t sad when he died. Says a lot about what kind of person she is. Wow!
Wow judgemental much?
Says more about him that he preyed on young vulnerable girls.
He was no more than a dirty old man with money.
She went to Bali with her boyfriend on his death bed!
she deserves to keep her last name if she wants it, it's cute ❤
I never heard of her, but to me she has that genuine likability.
Ahhhh still rocking the Hefner last name 🙄 "I NeVeR lOvEd HiM, bUt I WiLl MaKe MoNeY oFf HiS nAmE" gtfoh 😂
Playboy makes money off of objectifying women which is abusive and wrong.
The girl who took her is not a friend or else Crystal could have talked to her about the Hef plan and life she lived.where’s that friend now? She said nothing about the friend so far.
my favourite film - sliding doors
They all go there to meet wealth.let’s not sugar coat it and if you have beauty and not much else ,you gonna use to attract. Symbiotic relationships or parasites feeding off each other.
She looks delusional
I would urge everyone to watch Girls Next Level episode about her book, with Holly, Bridget, and Hue's son, Marston Hefner. They have quite a different view of the situation. Crystal is REALLY rewriting history a bit. Worst of all, she changed the long standing will at the last minute. Shady shady shady.
Playboy is abusive and misogynistic. She's allowed to speak out about that
@user-bq2ko2tb2w She sure is! She can share whatever she wants to.That'ss not my point.
So she is so insecure it took her a decade
To figure that out … maybe it’s the $$$$ and status put her self
Interests way ahead of leaving
. Holly did love him. He knew who he could
Manipulate. He felt
Sorry for the under dogs .. maybe that’s why she lasted so long not in love a milk toast under dog .. life long Victim. All her life even before hef poor me
I am poor I am a victim .. she is a phony . She met him not at the mansion Halloween party’ . She met him at a rented event . Another embellishment
I think listening to marstons interview and interviews from those around him in his last year is really concerning they are all talking along the same lines i just cant listen to her without thinking shes lying and what they did to an old man in his final days
She still wants to be Holly so bad 😂
Getting £1k a week was demoralising? You could’ve made that last, lady?..
I feel like she tries so hard to be Holly … even the stalk holm syndrome part
I can’t with this woman ……..
She has written a book spilling all the tea. She hardly feels sorry now
She says different stuff in all of her interviews, she forget some of the lies she says.
She says all this stuff after knocking down other peoples stories. It’s as if cause she married him she’s the only one who gets a voice. And if she doesn’t want to be famous why is she still using his last name for clout??
Nope girl, you wanted us to pretend it was something besides a fame 304 or gold digger. We were grossed out then and now you slander a deceased man....gross, gross, gross. 🤢🤢🤢
I was 21 yo and dating a 31 yo man and he had to sign into my dorms and I was so embarrassed.
Club med isn't for kids lol
Hef's Willy Wonker????? 😂😂😂.
She has that weird joker smile plastic surgery.
I think Hef was sad because he really loved and missed Holly. He was very sad to his main 3 girls leave. Hef never got over them. Especially Holly. But he would never admit that, but everybody knew.😢
Team Holly Team Bridget
You should interview Holly or Bridget! Holly is so knowledgeable about Playboy
Cal.cu.la.ted!
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
Playboy is very misogynistic and I think she should be believed
She seems so fake to me.
Hahahaha 1k a week isn’t enough 😅
The way she’s like “ never enough to leave” when she’s getting more than a lot of people’s salary’s from working
The book was blah. No new tea was spilled. I cant get on board with her. I want to like her but i just cant. Shes hiding something or faking something. I cant put my finger on it.
She’s such a scam artist
Who are you to say that he loved you more then his kids
The book is boring and made up
So sad you think p oops are dumb
We feel sorry for her she still used her last name and now she acts liked the victim she make me sick
