Hugh Hefner's Widow Reveals What Life Was Like Inside the Playboy Mansion | This Morning

[@musanyathi2298]

She owes Holly an apology.

[@aitch3]

Why is that?

[@fionamcgrath8982]

What about Bridget?

[@shalee7155]

not getting enough love as a child was the most enlightening moment of the interview and explains everything for so many people, including hef.

[@susanmoorewerner8444]

In her book she talks about how one of Hef’s longtime employees said that Hef ‘picked the wounded ones’. He was like most wolves/abuser’s he picks the weakest one to pull away from the crowd.

[@SuperBikeRacer7]

This was her best interview so far, perhaps because it was short or maybe she's looking at the comments because it's the first time she didn't make any passive aggressive comments towards Holly when friendships with the other women were brought up.

[@aitch3]

Because the British journalists ask intelligent questions.

[@galloping3265]

Abuse of women and girls is not easily understood, even by the female victims themselves. Human psychology begin at birth. The pre-verbal years are the most formative. "Judge not lest ye be judged", said a very kind man long ago. You who are perfect, cast the first stone, yeah?

[@hobomike6935]

At the end of the day, they all lived a life of fame- riches- luxury. They never went hungry, they never thirsted. They never slept out in the rain. They had friends, family, and were loved both intimately and emotionally every night. Celebrities came to entertain and network. The life in the mansion had its ups and downs, but simply can’t be compared to your average Joe Schmoe working in a cubicle all his life for paltry wages and living hand-to-mouth.

[@jacquelineglitter4328]

‘Lost little boy’!!!

[@thepopfiles4294]

Any person who thinks it’s acceptable to trade money for gains, you make your own bed. No one, him or her are clean. She was complicit. If an old man approached me, I wouldn’t be shacking up no matter what luxuries he could provide. But they trade their dignity for money, because they’re so uneducated and vacant that their ideology is riches and fame. Who feels sorry for that? Who feels empowered by that?

[@2_thumbs_up_baby]

Bit harsh. A lot of them may have been abused by men for years before. Many many Women are taught to please men to be liked . Im sure They weren't all golddiggers and fame seekers I'm sure many realise now it wasn't a positive thing .

[@pleco101]

I think she knew she was a part of a very lucrative transaction. To make millions for years, he passes away, then she steps forward now to avoid slander/liable - it's just ridiculous and rather obvious that she knows exactly how to market herself. I have no sympathy for this beautiful millionaire who apparently endured so much.

[@ambermyers7463]

I don’t think they feel they are giving up much if anything. Many people spend a decade or two of their lives not in love and just playing the field and exploring what life has to offer. It’s one chapter of her life. As long as people are going to click on these titles to fill time along the way in their lives, she’s going to find whatever ways she can benefit. Good for her. Clearly she doesn’t love herself or she wouldn’t have all that plastic surgery but that’s the majority of the world anyway.

[@shirleyski6147]

A book, how not shocking!! She’s out for attention what’s new,,, she knew exactly what she wanted and did married him! Such B.S. She has NO MORALS!!

[@jujutrini8412]

Neither did he so why does it matter what she says now?

[@taylarjaasu]

Exactly

[@waffinibrosproduction2787]

​@@jujutrini8412because it was an equal trade exchange and she broke the respect. It seems women have no respect or morals anymore always out to get money and attention rather than leave the dead alone. If he was alive and saw her doing this, I bet he would have many things he could say were wrong with her just as she was saying him. It's a weak nasty, petty thing to do while he is dead

[@waffinibrosproduction2787]

@@Cat-qo2mn she was in it for the fame and money only there was no passion or compassion. Aswell he is not wrong 😂😂😂 she only married him for the money. So Im sorry princess but you don't sound very intelligent 🤣

[@persiaperez909]

I know people are so angry. Apparently they are perfect and healed and everyone else is foolish. It’s crazy

[@pleco101]

~ 10 years of making bank - OK - Now it's time to reach out, now that he's dead and make more bank and talk about the horrid things I had to deal with.... I think she's savvy and knows how to market herself. The same way Hugh Hefner did.

[@SinfulScents]

Well she learned from the best but I hope that’s not the case

[@dawnsinclair8708]

I always thought he was a sick individual 😢

[@genxx2724]

[@gerry-p9x]

Pre arranged scripted

[@lisakemp7352]

You’re not trying to be friends with Bridget ! You were horrible to her on your social media

[@fionamcgrath8982]

Why wasn't Bridget allowed to see Hef near the end? She tried multiple times through different avenues to see him because she cared and was prevented. She tried to be allowed to go to his funeral.... no. That is pretty heartless.

[@maryanderson3594]

You were happy to have the high life and the money at the time, now you are making money on it still. You could have walked away at the time

[@SinfulScents]

You can’t say what she could have done because you weren’t in her shoes. She may have been groomed by him and at an impressionable age, it was likely he did manipulate her mind and the way she thought and felt. It’s easy to say she could have walked away, but in reality when somone has a strong hold on you emotionally it’s sometimes feels impossible to walk away even when your inner voice tells you to

[@marsharouse6621]

He was such a predator. Love and Light to all of the women moving forward. ❤

[@maryoleary2037]

But the women were all over 18, not fully functioning adults, but not children. Nobody was trafficked, or kidnapped. They were free to leave at any time; the mansion was not a prison. So if it was so awful, why didn't Crystal and others just leave? You may call him a predator, but the women were all willing participants.

[@gerry-p9x]

He probably entertained himself by toying with these women. I realize I’m stating the obvious, but I mean even in a small an act like she described: settling his gaze on one girl and observing her reaction as she feels elevated above all mankind.
