“But what are they for?” Crystal Hefner reportedly asked Hef.
“I used to do a lot of filming,” he reportedly told her. “VHS. There were hours of videos and hundreds of sexy tapes.”
This revelation is part of Mr. Hefner's forthcoming tell-all book. Say Only Good Things: Surviving Playboy and Finding Yourself” is scheduled to be released on January 23rd.
Crystal said she also asked her husband if he knew all the celebrities were recording him.
“It's my bedroom. It's my home,” he replied, as if that gave him permission.
In his book, Hefner claimed that Hef, who died in 2017 at the age of 91, had numerous tapes of A-list celebrities and “videos of orgies with celebrities, politicians, and business leaders.” he added. married. “

“I think [the cameras] By the time I got there, it was no longer in operation, but there were…carved wooden panels. And one of hers on the right panel had a circular cutout,” she said. post.
What Hef did with all of these videos has not been reported, and the outlets have not said whether Crystal mentions the fate of the footage in her book.
Crystal was Hefner's third wife and was only 26 years old when she married him. playboy She remained with him until his death in 2017.
Hefner said she first met the magazine publisher when she was a 21-year-old college student, when she sent in a photo with an application to be a guest at a Halloween party at the Playboy Mansion.
She added that thinking about those photos “chills.” She also said she didn't expect to be chosen as a guest because those photos were “probably not very good pictures” of her. But to her surprise, she received a call from her.
She recalled that the ad, dressed as a French maid, was standing next to a velvet rope when Hefner looked at her, pointed, and uttered the words, “You, come here.” There is.
That night, she said, she spent the night in Hefner's bedroom while Hefner's famous twins, Christina and Carissa Shannon, and several other girls took turns pleasing Hefner. . But she admitted the whole business felt “robotic” to her.
“There was no kissing, no romance, no intimacy,” she says in the book. “Even on that first night, even with the cloudy skies, everything felt strange and robotic. It seemed like Hef was just going through the motions of what was once fun and sexy. Or maybe it just wasn't fun or sexy at all.”
But in 2010, Krystal became Hef's favorite girlfriend, after which he gave her an engagement ring.
“He just gave it to me in a box and said he hoped it looked good,” she said, adding that he didn't formally propose so she didn't have the option of saying no. I thought so and added.
The road to the altar was full of twists and turns, and she briefly moved out of the mansion, but the two eventually married in 2012.

Still, she admitted that she never thought of her marriage to Hefner as a “real marriage” and even chose to wear a pink dress. She said, “I thought, “I'll wear white at my real wedding.''
Despite his marriage, Hefner continued his habit of having group sex with other women. Krystal even claims that it was “awkward” when Hef tried to get intimate one-on-one.
“Only a few times did he try to be romantic or intimate with me and it was just me,” she writes. It was obvious that he had no idea what to do with it. ”
Crystal also said Hef carried around a small camera and asked girls he met to expose themselves in his limousine. The result was thousands of snapshots of these women, which she says were destroyed after Hef's death.
Ultimately, she said that if she remarried, which she hopes to do, she would drop the Hefner name because “that part of my story is over.”
For a man who declared “victory over the Republican Party” by winning the sex war, Mr. Hefner does not appear to have achieved anything close to happiness in his relationships, much less marital bliss. If these passages from Crystal's book are any indication, he seems to have died a rather sad death.
