I hope all of these women (girlfriends of Hef) are able to eventually come together and heal whatever animosity is between them. These “feuds” of misunderstandings are a product of the misogyny of the Playboy mansion and how Hef wanted to keep them pitted against each other. Each one of them are on their own journeys to healing and coming to terms with what they went through, and each one of their experiences and traumas are unique yet similar. They went through things that only each other would understand, and I think they can find more healing sharing this with each other. It seems like Crystal is starting this healing with writing her book, and Kendra is just now realizing the traumas she went through.
@@MeMe-pj8veShe did a video not being very nice towards Bridget! Then I see her on another podcast trying to blame them for the issues! Nah lady we seen the video Holly was fine with her before that
@@MeMe-pj8ve yet she says " we followed each other on IG for a while , then something little and stupid happened so we don't follow each other... Like come on can't we all be friends" smh 🙄🙄 Holly is actually real and she is gonna stick up for her friend, and block someone who is bad mouthing one of her best friends
She said a lot of shady rude stuff on Instagram stories the other day and now she's trying to act all innocent. Take responsibility for the things you said, Crystal.
Exactly. Holly just said in her podcast a few episodes ago that she had to block Crystal Harris because Crystal would attack Bridget for no reason. Bridget wasn't even talking about Crystal. Holly is happy she doesn't have to deal with her anymore. Something isn't right with Crystal,, I don't like her and I don't trust her...
Holly is such a genuine soul that all the girls who tried to front that playboy was so good ended up following her lead and agreeing with her in the end. Lol
Duh. I think he knew that none of those girls loved him. But he had money in power. It didn’t matter to him. As it is told, he never pleased any of the women. The women were there to serve, and please him.
I can't understand why anyone ever bought the Doctor Phil brand. He's so toxic on screen, he's verbally abusive and manipulative, egotistical . . thanks for your courage in discussing the truth from your end
My beloved late Father used to express aloud his deep disdain for Dr. Phil, essentially for many of the reasons you stated. My highly- sensitive Father had always been a profoundly gifted judge of character . After he Died, when I was 13, I could see quite clearly everything my Father had spoken about Dr. Phil's energy and personality. Vile nature and Vile individual.
Of course it’s a money grab. It’s all she knows. After all, didn’t she marry him for money? It all boils down to money. None of those girls loved him. He was gross.
@@bluecollarlit cuz she is going around on social media trashing him so why keep his name?? Plus she commented she wants to go back to her maiden name.
I actually feel bad for Crystal because she had to watch Hef die, and she was his wife. She has mixed emotions about Hef. I'm glad Crystal is reclaiming her life and moving on.
Some "silly thing" is crystal talking crap about Bridget on Instagram stories so Holly unfollowed her. Crystal is trying to downplay it, but she openly said this all very recently. Can't trust this woman.
As I was listening to this, Crystals book literally was delivered to my door! I am excited to read her story. I can relate so much about her experiences. I wish her so much joy and peace. 🙏🙌🏻❤️ great interview as always!
I'm so glad I came across this channel. You are an amazing, down-to-earth, and a genuine host. Thank you for having her on your channel to share her story. When you asked her about her best memories or good memories with hugh and she said "no" there are none, you responded "wow okay" I said the SAME thing aloud, wow! I am a bit confused because her message is the mansion was not what girls think it is, yet she MARRIED Hugh? There had to be atleast ONE good experience (memory) right?
Young girls do a lot to fit in & feel accepted, maybe excel even if that is because of what they are willing to do to make money, find security, fame, etc. Most of the girls at the mansion were no different & the majority thought surely it was a stepping stone to something better. Few of Hef's top girlfriends were also Playmates because he honestly felt they would just leave them after, & they did. I think Crystal showed him compassion in the end by letting him die in his fantasy world with a beautiful young wife. I don't begrudge her or the others for coming forward with their stories, their truths, once the whole fantasy life was blown for them & they were left with the fallout. If your entire life is all about your beauty what's left for you when it isn't? I look nothing like I did even at 50 so it's a damn good thing I never realized how pretty I really was when I was their ages. I've totally changed my mind about Crystal, just like I did with Holly, & I always thought Bridget was sweet & natural. Kendra? She annoyed the schiz out of me on GND. I definitely like her way better now that she's older but not really interested in her & her life at this point but I wish her well. Now that Crystal & the others are grown women living independent lives on their own, finding their ways, I hope they forgive their younger selves for getting all caught up in Playboy specifically Hef. The old dog played the girls off each other, pitted them against each other maybe they can all come together now & speak as equals, like they should have been allowed when they were so young & naïve. It's not for us to judge their choices then or now really but we all kind of do. That's living in the public eye. We don't need to throw shade on them now for sure. JMO
Just discovered your podcast & love it!! ❤❤you ask all the questions we want to know! I listened to Crystals book on Audible plus I had reserved a copy. It’s so good I’m going to listen to it again. Good for her for being so transparent & telling her story! Wish her the best on her next chapter of life
I NEVER followed crystal. This is the 1st interview I've ever seen of her. but of course i know of her because i was a GND fan. ummm i understand when she said she had issue with being a gold digger. i mean anyone would-it's a ugly term. however like kanye said she aint messing with a broke man..... so what were you there for. i was listening to understand honeslty. but what were you there for. i heard abt the validation and coming from nothing yada yada yada. i appreciate these stories. as i also come form nothing. but the tone a lot of people get with that is as if "THEY ARE THE ONLY ONES WHO CAME FROM NOTHING" that angle is such a turn off for me for anyone. i came from a divorced home, welfare, the works. but i never get the delusion that poor me i am the only one. that background is so commonplace that i dont feel it makes peoples' stories unique. i love a good story abt overcoming dont get me wrong. but when people use it w/ determination not to allow where they come from to dictate where they end up on their own merits. so back to the question, what were you there for then? i don't know that PC term for gold digger. but i will say she did pay for her granted lifestyle. i do believe as holly states her Stockholm syndrome was real. i do believe they are used, objects and manipulated once they accept that playboy world. SO even though she could be labeled a gold digger she did pay in other ways. And if she said she's done w/ the Hefner name now that her book is done. if she doesnt change her name i call her a fat ol liar. lets be real if she was walking down the street i would not be all omg that's crystal hefner. Although shes a pretty lady she doesnt look like a celebrity. i never remember what she looks like. she has an ordinary face. so if she's the introvert she says and never wanted the celebrity then she would drop the name in order to blend in a crowd. if she does then respect. if she doesnt she's a liar. there's paperwork involved but its not hard to change a name.
I finished her book over the weekend & have watched maybe a dozen interviews with Crystal, -as a fellow Lyme disease fighter I’ve followed her healing journey for a while. I just have to tell you that imo this is BY FAR the best interview she’s given so far. And I think that is in part due to her obvious comfort with you, the host. Very well done, thank you❤️
It was a good listen but I don’t buy that she wasn’t dating Jordan before moving in. The girls were absolutely not allowed to talk to other men so how was she talking to him and going to his house and meeting his dad. She started dating him and moved out of the mansion. I would like her more if she was honest but I know that she moved out with Hef bc she thought oh I found a young rich guy I could get with and live a fairytale with but found out he was a mamas boy. So she ran back. I also highly doubt Hef was trying to get back with her bc he literally had women throwing themselves at him. Maybe one day she will be more honest and I’ll come around.
25:20 but why is it ok for Crystal to tell her story & tell her experiences but when Holly did it, Kendra popped off, claiming Holly is trying to rewrite history. Kendra is such a backstabber who is such a snake. She talked a lot of shit about Holly & things that happened behind closed doors in the room, then her husband cheats on her with a transgirl.
He used her and she used him....she begged to be playmate yet Holly was told no. She used him for her music career as well....watch the last season where even Mary said so. Crystal isn't a bad person but she tries coming off as innocent in her relationship with Holly and Bridget. She has said not so nice things about them both.
Does anyone else feel like she’s riding on holly and Bridget’s coat tails? Like she saw how well girls next level was doing and started talking about it
This was a great interview. I was listening and the thought came to me that you and Crystal are somewhat kindred spirits. On another note, you are beautiful, Rachel. If I ever win the lottery I'll look for you on dating apps. j/k All the best!
I hate to say this but this entire interview was so boring. Also, she didn't let Holly and Bridget come see him when he was dying and they weren't allowed at his funeral. This girl is conniving.
🤔 It’s very sad, to say the least, when one loses a parent at a young age, and sometimes one might see their spouse as something similar, yet might find out there wasn’t anything similar at all. All the best to everyone dealing with heartache and trauma, and remember to be kind to yourself, as well as to others!‼️❤️🩹
All those girls should have something good to say about getting to live in mansion, wear expensive designer clothes and get to go to celebrity parties. They wanted to the lifestyle Heffner could give them, but then they turn around and talk trash about him when he's not around to refute what they say. Nobody would even know who they were if it wasn't for Heffner letting them be his girlfriends. Those girls are not victims. If they didn't like old men, they should have walked out. But then they would have giving up the lifestyle and fame. They used him as much as he used them.
Omg how old is she, she is beautiful! How old was she when she married Hefner? Wow. I grew up completely different. Had 6 sisters I was 2nd youngest. My dad would have freaked out & punished us big time if we did anything associated with playboy or anything of that nature. I was raised with women power. Some of these experiences and choices women make just blows my mind. Glad she has seen the light and is happy now.
I completely understand, and grew up with the same type of parenting… They would’ve been horrified. Had I done anything with Playboy. And then, when I went off to college, I remember Some agent from Playboy was trying to recruit us. And one of the girls from my class actually did it. I was shocked and then later on my roommate’s sister was in Playboy as well. Had I grown up differently… I probably would’ve done it. Who knows? I just know that my mother would’ve called me a pig and disowned me if I went that route..
Rachel, you are such a kind gentle interviewer! Crystal isn't a talker and you could tell she struggled to tell about her story and Rachel just steps in and makes her feel understood. Great job Rachel. I bet you are an excellent mom based on how you are relating to and making Crystal feel okay to talk at her own pace not a podcast pace. 🩷
She felt trapped yet moved back in after her business failed, she said she didn't want to take anything from the mansion due to PTSD yet directly behind her is a Playboy guitar on the wall. She broke a promise to someone on their dying bed to fit HER narrative, Says it all doesn't it?! She left Hef before the wedding because she wanted more money, what a coniving worm
Shocked she had to make end of life decisions for Hef....you were his wife. That's kind of expected lol....but she didn't see it as a "real" marriage so that tells you everything.
Go back and listen to her podcast with Marston, the part where he mentions a comment regarding claims of mold in the mansion...watch Crystal's face, SHE spoke of this during an interview recently! This woman is a liar
Big question: so what about the $5000000 inheritance with the 7$million dollar house hef left her! Cry me a river crystal you used Hef for a big payout! Quit complaining!
One word just about sums this up.. Choices! Now that the guy is dead your bashing everything you chose to do. Doors were at all ends of the mansion.. Makes me sick the guy did what he did & you all made choices to contribute, now to come out after the fact only to bash him & you regret this & regret that.. just disgusting to say the least about the situation.
So sad Crystal’s finding herself & put in a box. Reminds me of Julia Robert’s in “Runaway Bride” where she makes 50 different types of eggs 🍳. Interesting that she’s trying to do a podcast.
so sad to hear her story but is sad that Holly had to eat the shit of everybody and now she's friends with Kendra when Kendra lashed out at Holly for disparaging Hef and Playboy
Boohoo! 😂 She always leaves out that her mother lived at the Mansion for years, and that her mother coaxed her to go back to Hef especially when her music producer told her she couldn't sing and wouldn't have a music career. 😂😂😂😂😂
Why does she keep talking about herself? If you can’t listen to anybody else without just giving your story and that something like that happened to you, maybe you shouldn’t be an interviewer
Her tone, her deminor, the fact that it seems like she's copying Holly. Holly was original about her's. I always knew Holly must feel some type of way watching girls next door. She never said a bad word of Hef but I just felt it. But with Crystal it just seems like she's trying to copy Holly.
I have not read her book. And not certain I buy this story. Anyone whom sold out to Hugh.. is simply tat. Sold out! Why would someone marry such a creepy guy! As a misogynist!
This host is liking all the negative comments below. There's also one that says she's good at getting people to open up and reveal themselves to her. How phenomenally unprofessional. Have your own opinions but don't fake professionally interview someone and then trash them in the comments. You reveal yourself to be as fake as you assume the guest to be, and you're projecting your own flaws onto her. It's disgusting. And - considering that the entire podcast shtick is about going in and "understanding" all these people who've been maligned - I can easily guess how she feels about everyone else she interviews. Fake, fake, FAKE.
