LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: In her new revelation about Playboy boss Hugh Hefner, Crystal Hefner said that she never signed an NDA during her marriage or while she was living in the Playboy Mansion.

The entrepreneur and lawyer appeared on the upcoming 'Tamron Hall Show' and talked about her life with Hugh Hefner.



 

Crystal Hefner says Hugh Hefner never intended to keep everything secret

When asked if they even discussed an NDA, she responded, “I don't know why we felt like we had to keep Hef's secrets for so long.”

Crystal recently released her memoir, ‘Only Say Good Things: Surviving Playboy and Finding Myself,’ with a lot of bombshell claims.

Following the publication of her memoir, Hugh's ex-wife Kimberly released a statement slamming those who "speak their version of their idea of events in hopes of riding a wave of headline relevance" and "making a quick buck."

“I’m speaking out now for the first time about Hef because I feel compelled to speak on behalf of someone I love, who is no longer here to speak for himself,” she said.

“If you want to talk about exploitation, this is exactly what these women have done with Hef," she added. 



 

The price Crystal Hefner paid for 'success, fantasy'

In an earlier conversation with People, Crystal admitted, “I realized I was dealing with a really big power imbalance.”

“It seemed like a world of success and fantasy, but everyone's having to sleep with an 80-year-old. There's a price. Everything has a price,” she noted.

Crystal was the third wife of the late magazine publisher, whom he married in 2012, reports People.



 

In her memoir, she recalled, “At the time I thought I was on top. I thought, wow, if I just like everything that he likes and do all the things that he wants me to do, then I'm the favorite.”

“And I was, but I just lost myself in the process,” Crystal said.

She also talked about a few rules set by Hugh for the girls in the mansion, “Our nail polish couldn’t be anything but some neutral color, no French manicure.”

Crystal shared that Hugh “would tell me ‘Wear the flag.’ That’s the Playboy logo and those shirts were uncomfortable and cheap.”
