Summary
- Crystal Harris regrets marrying Hugh Hefner, citing lost self-worth.
- She describes the Playboy environment as traumatic for women.
- Harris found and destroyed compromising photos Hefner kept.
Crystal Harris has expressed deep regret over her marriage to the late Playboy founder, Hugh Hefner, whom she wed in 2012 and was married to until his passing in 2017. Harris, now married to James Ward since April, shared in a recent Instagram video that she regrets the version of herself she had to abandon to 'survive in that environment.' She feels she compromised her self-worth and silenced herself during their marriage.
In her memoir, 'Only Say Good Things: Surviving Playboy and Finding Myself,' Harris explores the trauma associated with the Playboy world. She recounted finding and destroying thousands of compromising photos Hefner had taken of women, including former girlfriends and guests, describing them as potential blackmail material and a 'trophy book.' Harris stated she is now done living by a story written for her and aims to reclaim her truth for herself and others who have felt diminished.
