BRITTANY HOCKLEY AND LAURA BYRNE
About this episode

The playboy mansion and playboy empire is surrounded by so much intrigue and controversy. Today we got to chat with Crystal Hefner. Crystal became a sexual icon of the 2010’s when she entered the playboy mansion at only 21 years of age. When Crystal turned 26, she married Playboy tycoon Hugh Hefner who was 86 years old and news of this wedding circulated to every corner of the globe.

Crystal has just released a tell all memoir titled “only say good things” about the truth of what really happened behind closed doors of the elusive playboy mansion. 

We chat about:

  • How Crystal initially entered the Playboy Mansion
  • What life was actually like day to day
  • How the exploitation of such young women was in plain sight to the entire world
  • Finances inside the house and how much the girls actually got paid
  • Sex inside the mansion
  • The ‘reality’ of original reality TV - The girls next door
  • The hierarchy of the ‘girlfriends’
  • What happened to all of the girls of the mansion
  • Crystal’s regrets & why she is speaking out now
