The widow of the Playboy founder exposed his secrets: what phobia did Hugh Hefner have, why did he write down the names of his mistresses and what did he force girls to do

Crystal Harris reveals new details about life in Hugh Hefner's estate

Crystal Harris, the widow of the late Playboy founder Hugh Hefner, has revealed the details of life in the American publisher's house. The model has released her memoirs "Say Only Good Things," where she shared previously unknown facts about her former lover.

In particular, in the fragments of the book published by VIVA, Harris says that leaving the house alone with Hefner was a real challenge. The Playboy editor-in-chief suffered from agoraphobia and was afraid to be in an unfamiliar place. That's why the celebrity wanted to have everything he could wish for in his estate.

Fear of the Playboy founder

"Eventually, I realized that his immediate angry reaction when I mentioned traveling, day trips, or even dating like a normal couple could be explained by the fact that behind the appearance of a socialite who only flies in luxury class was a man who suffered from agoraphobia," Harris recalls.

Nevertheless, the businessman loved people's attention, so from time to time he would walk the streets of the city in the company of his "official girlfriends." The girls who lived in the house would put on their best outfits, put on their highest heels, and jump into a limousine. "Although Hef didn't like to go out, he loved being seen in the city. He was a mystery. So every once in a while, usually on a Thursday, we'd put Geoff in a safe bubble so he could show us himself, prove he was still a man," Crystal writes.

Notebook with the girls' names and destroyed tapes

As the model recalls, Hefner carried a film camera with him, which he used to take many explicit pictures of the girls. "Hef wanted us to show off everything on camera, to lift up our skirts, spread our legs, and not hide anything. A lot of the girls fell for it, and I watched as the camera took more and more damn explicit pictures – piles and piles of potential blackmail material that he might want to use," the excerpt reads.

Hugh also had a black notebook in which he kept the names of all the women he had ever invited to his bedroom. As Harris describes in her memoirs, her late husband even had special niches for secret cameras in the rooms, and he confessed to her that he used to "make hundreds of sex tapes." When his lover asked if the women knew about this, Hefner replied: "This is my bedroom. This is my home."

But then the publisher added that he destroyed everything after the Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee scandal. "He told me that some of the tapes showed him sleeping with several women, some of the first echelon stars. Others were wild orgies, also with celebrities, politicians, business leaders, some of them married," the woman said.

Competition between girls

In the book, Krystal shares her thoughts: she says she could have been replaced in 24 hours. "All the girls had implants, nose jobs, and fat pumping – there was no other way to compete. No one said it out loud, but it was clear to me that if I wanted to stay here, I had no other choice," recalls Harris, who has been under the plastic surgeon's knife herself.

Even as a wife, the model chose her husband's partners. As the author admits, it was a relief for her when there were other girls in the bedroom, because at that moment she could take a break. Every Friday was a "payday" in the estate.

"The first time I got money was when the twins (Ed. – Carissa and Christina Shannon) were still living here, I guess they wanted to keep it from me as long as possible, but a few weeks after I moved in, I heard them talking about 'getting money from Geoff,'" Crystal writes. – "Reluctantly, they explained that on Fridays, each of us gets money that we can spend on clothes, cosmetics, or jewelry, without which we can't be real Playboy girls.
