Hugh Hefner’s widow, Crystal Hefner, accused the late Playboy founder of shocking sexual abuse throughout their relationship.
“I do believe that I did whatever he wanted me to do. And if that involved sex, then I just did what he wanted me to do,” Crystal recalled on the “Lisa Guerrero Unleashed” podcast Tuesday, when asked if she believes she was raped.
“There were times that were really uncomfortable for me in the bedroom,” she added. “In the bedroom things would happen that ended up just not being OK.”
In one of the most disturbing instances, Crystal accused the businessman of “starting to try and shove twins [Kristina and Karissa Shannon’s] heads onto each other’s vaginas to get them to engage with each other sexually.”
“That is incest. That is disgusting,” Crystal, 40, affirmed. “I didn’t want them to have to do something like that with each other. So that was very, very hard.”
In another horrific reveal, Crystal alleged that Hugh would force she and the other playmates to use visibly dirty sex toys.
“I remember him pulling them out and one of them was a black, double-sided one. You could see they were dirty and he’s just grabbing us and grabbing our crotches and grabbing these dirty [sex toys] and just shoving them in us.”
When host Lisa Guerroro said that “sounds like rape,” the “Girls Next Door” alum agreed.
“He’s not gentle,” she continued. “After, he’s snoring and I’m like trying to sleep after what happened and my body’s in pain.”
Crystal asserted that some of the sexual acts Hugh would do with him and other women “was not cool” and it included anal and vaginal penetration.
“He just needed more of a high or stimulation. There was nothing intimate about anything to do with him.”
A rep for Kristina and Karissa didn’t immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment. However, Karissa previously claimed that having sex with Hugh was “like rape.”
Crystal and Hugh wed in 2012 and were married until he died from cardiac arrest and respiratory failure at the age of 91 in September 2017.
Earlier this month, the former reality star claimed that she “experienced sexual, emotional, financial and physical abuse” at the hands of Hugh in a message to Jessica Biel, asking her not to play the role of his wife in the forthcoming “Playmates” film.
“Many other women have come forward with allegations of rape, coercion, drugging and exploitation as well,” Crystal continued in the emotional plea.
Back in August, Crystal also shed light on her five-year marriage to Hugh on the “No One Asked Her” podcast with Billy Ray Cyrus’ ex-wife Firerose.
“I think I was absolutely brainwashed, but there was nothing out there that validated me,” Crystal said, noting that she was under the supervision of 70 employees while residing at the Playboy Mansion.
In her 2024 memoir “Only Say Good Things: Surviving Playboy and Finding Myself,” Crystal alleged Hugh attempted to control her by telling her to lose weight and what to wear.
Since his death, she has been outspoken against her late husband, admitting she was never “in love” with him, criticizing his skills in the bedroom, and exposing the “gross” conditions of his beloved Playboy Mansion.
Crystal has since moved on romantically with marine biologist James Ward.
The pair, who started dating in 2024, tied the knot in April.
