Crystal Hefner is Hugh Hefner’s wife and she claims to have destroyed thousands upon thousands of naked images taken using disposable cameras. It confirms Holly Madison’s assertion that Hugh Hefner kept a “mountain” of revenge porn.
Crystal Hefner (35), was married to Hugh between 2012 and his death in 2017. He died at 91.
On Monday night, in an episode of the 10-part A&E series Secrets of Playboy, an ex-girlfriend of Hefner’s, Madison, told about the dark side of Hefner’s personality.
Madison, 42, who was with Hefner from 2001-8, said that he kept ‘all kinds of naked pictures’ of women so he could allegedly use them as a form of blackmail.
Former model claimed that she kept Hefner at Playboy Mansion partly because she was afraid he might publish her photos.
Madison said that Madison was a friend who always supported him and spoke so highly of his character.
“But, that was the only face they saw of him. They didn’t understand what went on behind closed doors or how women were treated.
“When I lived in the mansion, it was terrifying to go. One thing that was always in my head, from the beginning was the fear that I would be repelled if I ever left.
Hugh Hefner and Crystal Hefner were pictured at the Playboy Mansion Halloween Party in October 2014. Crystal states that she destroyed thousands of naked photographs taken using disposable cameras. It is the same as Holly Madison’s claim about the Playboy founder keeping a’mountain to revenge porn’.
Holly Madison, 42 years, was Hefner’s ‘special one’, or main girl, when she moved into the Playboy home at age 21. Madison is seen above in Secrets of Playboy. Madison said she chose to stay with Hefner partly because she was scared he might release’revenge ponies’.

Madison continued, “When you’d go out to Hef’s place, he’s taking naked pictures of these ladies when we aren’t even thinking.”
“And he would print off like eight copies, and you could pass them around to all the women. This was absolutely disgusting.
Crystal confirmed Madison’s account Tuesday.

She tweeted, “I found thousands upon thousands of disposable camera photographs you are talking about @hollymadison,”
“I immediately tore them apart and destroyed them all for you, and the many other women who were in them. They’re gone.’
Madison replied: ‘Thank you @crystalhefner.’
Crystal was determined to correct the record and took exception with some aspects of the documentary, including a claim made by Sharmagne Leland St. John-Sylbert (76) that Hefner was fascinated Charles Manson.
Leland St. John stated that Hefner had kept “home videos” of the Manson Family.
Sondra, who was in a relationship with Hefner between 1976 and 1981, said: “There were so many similarities with how the girls followed every word he spoke, and it felt like we all were one happy family.”
Crystal said that she was not interested in her husband’s serial killer and pointed out that Manson was a friend of the family prosecutor, but not Manson.
She wrote Monday, “Saying that he has an interest in me is definitely a lie,”
Hef, Vincent Bugliosi’s friend up to his death until his untimely passing, was a close associate.
Madison described Hefner as manipulative, and the Playboy Mansion was described by Madison above as being ‘cultlike.
Madison, Monday’s episode: Madison says she has never had casual sexual encounters with him prior to meeting him. She was also ‘kinda asexual’ when she first slept with the magazine’s publisher.
I haven’t had any casual sex before. “I feel like I was kinda really sexually oriented, and maybe that’s why I wasn’t ready to have casual sex with anyone before,” she stated.
Madison stated that Madison’s mother believed she might have Asperger’s as she struggled to ‘connect with others’.
Madison, then 21, was just 21 years old when she moved in to the Playboy house. She became Hefner’s “special one” or primary girlfriend.
Madison explained that Madison was attracted to being in the limelight because it gave her a chance to feel a sense of connection and a way to be more famous.
“I didn’t find Hef physically attractive, but I found him to be very charming,”
Madison is shown above in 1995 at age 15. Madison says she had difficulty connecting with people. Her mom suspects that Madison may have Asperger’s syndrome, which is high-functioning autistic spectrum disorder.

“We support and trust these women, their stories, and strongly encourage those who are willing to share them.”

“We believe in women and their stories. We strongly support individuals who are willing to share their own experiences,” the leadership team said.
