Whenever I read one of the books by former Playboy girlfriends what I really want to know is what happened in your life that you thought having sex with a man 4 times your age was your only choice in life. Crystal's book explained it to me. The first part of the book detailing her life before she even made it to Playboy was just as interesting as the part when she made it to the Playboy mansion. I was actually sad when I finished the book. I highly recommend it.
So she hated it all back then. Why not just say that she was with Hef for financial security? When I was 19, lived in a 3rd world country with limited opportunities and a poor family I want to take care of, if a rich man like Hef said to me, marry and at the end of my life you will get a mil for each year we remain married and live in the lap of luxury while we are together, I promise you, I wouldn't immediately dismiss it. I would think about it. When you have limited resources, the stuff at Maslow's hierarchy of needs is not most people's priority.
These women were there for fame, success and money. Period. Hell they’re still cashing in with various books, appearances podcasts. They were able to leave and many did like Brande. Not buying these sad sob stories these women tell. Yes Hefner definitely had a dark side no denying that but they choose to stay.
Poor Crystal I was 31 when I got out of my 11 year abusive relationship and I am fifty plus now. Two tips 1 Dont drink it is the King of bad decisions and 2. Have 2 kids as you know when you are gone they will have each other, Teach them to be loving, but also street wise and sharp as foxes
@@adrieneceleste The publisher should have worked with getting her media training to prepare for her book tour. She's horrible at selling her book. I'm not interested in reading it at all.
I’ve seen some interviews that flowed well and a couple that I’m wondering if she was traveling a lot and tired from so many interviews. I’ve heard more positive on her book. Haven’t heard any negative.
She should stop looking down. Makes interview very difficult to follow & stay connected to. I have watched a few of her interviews and she definitely needs some coaching
Did anyone else notice she said she started college in 2000, but she's now 37. That means in 2000 she would have been 14, I don't think she was at San Diego state at 14.... Something is not adding up, literally.
Something is wonky about the Polaroid story too. The timeline is off. It's possible she was under the influence of some substance, and is fuzzy on the dates. I know if it were me, I would have to be under the influence of some sort of substance to have sex with a man that is that much older than me.. That's just me 🤷♀️
Crystal seems a little... odd. It's like she has this soft-spoken, gentle, innocent persona she's trying to portray, and then she'll randomly switch to this deeper voice and say things with an aggressive tone. Very strange interview, she seems disingenuous. Maybe I'm just reading her totally wrong but idk.
You are correct. She's clearly on some type of drug. She acts out of it in these interviews for the book. For those who believe she's an introvert, go watch videos of her and Hef out in the public. NOT an introvert. She knew what she was doing and negotiated her come back to the mansion after leaving Hef.
@@AbundantLightLeaders Yes, trade your dignity and sense of self-worth by having sex with a REPROBATE sixty years older than you _in return for (in)fame(y) and money._ *Don't forget there was lots and lots of money.* The whole wicked, degrading lifestyle is vomit-inducing.
One of the things I look for in an interview is that the host lets the guest speak. The host has some sensitivity to what the GUEST is trying to express. The host doesn’t tell the guest how they MUST feel, Or describe the guests personal experience, for them. Labeling (“cult”) Or putting words into the guest’s mouth, does not constitute how they feel. The interviewer is not interviewing themselves or how they feel or How they IMAGINE that experience was for the guest. Crystal is obviously trying to reach some pretty deep memories and may have some conflicted feelings about the benefits and the draw backs of experiencing the Playboy culture.
I agree with this I don’t think the interviewers are very good even though I like them. I don’t think they are pulling the right stuff out of her and the right interviewer could do that. Correct
If she lacks empathy for others like Holly and Bridget, why should she expect we have empathy for her story? I believe most of her story but it’s difficult to have belief in her sincerity
Exactly she had nothing nice to say about Holly but has basically admitted she never loved hef. Holly did at least love him, it wasnt a healthy love but at least she cared for him.
I don't buy this victim character at all. I'm sure at the time there was excitement like "Yay I was picked! I get to party with celebrities" and she acts like she didn't feel that. I'm sure she felt that in the moment and looking back she can see, "Whoa, I was party decor. "
I don't believe her story. I think she is trying to get sympathy and figured she'd get it from copying Holly. I've never liked Crystal. She seemed fake when she was on the last season of GND. She's still fake.
Crystal is confusing. I have seen a few other interviews of her about her book and in some of those Hefner is an evil man who uses women for sex etc etc in others he's not that bad and taught her stuff. Am I missing something?
Basically she might have well just said she didn't actually love him she only married him for financial security and to fulfill her life at the time because that's basically what she hinted at. This interview was literally like waiting for the paint to dry on the wall... Waste of time and no sort of direct answer when asked a question. Sorry but just being honest. 🤷 Bridget and Holly would have been a better interview about the inner works of the mansion and Heff. Crystal is ugh ya. 😂
But isn't that why young ladies fall for these older men in the first place ....perfect example with Anna Nicole and her billionaire and when she spoke of him you could see love in her eyes.....you don't see that with crystal tho... I feel bad for her and how uncomfortable she is but that's a me prob lol empath all the way
@@Daanis99 JMO there's a difference when you actually love/care about someone and with that relationship you reap certain benefits versus someone who doesn't care about someone but only using them for their own gain. Based off this interview alone and how Crystal talked about Heff it's not as if she loved or even cared about him but as if he disgusted her and she can't even provide a REASON to why she chose to date let alone marry him. I don't feel bad for her because even all his previous GFS said he was upfront and honest about what he wanted and his expectations, the door was open where they could leave anytime no one was holding them hostage and they chose to be there and so did she. I just wish she was upfront and honest instead of tip-toeing around it.
Crystal, with interviews like this, no one will buy your book. Watch this and make notes on how to improve your next interview. Pls don't take this as me being mean.
do u think ppl just dip out when things get abusive? ur making it sound a lot easier than it is. do u think hugh is genuinely in love with these 20 year olds too at his big age or do u not wanna admit he’s using them for their bodies too?
she crossed the border and clearly u don’t seem to understand nuance but that does make her more vulnerable to exploitation for money. stop blaming women for getting exploited and stop vomiting out the same words hugh used to defend his abusive self. do better
It is possible for them to be interested in interviewing all of them, separately, to hear their own separate experiences, instead of constantly comparing them.
I'm going to repeat what has been said again and again in the comments - an interview with Bridget and Holly would have been much better. These 2 interviewers could have learned a ton more about the inner workings of the mansion and how traumatic the sex was by reading Down the Rabbit Hole. The female interviewer claims to have read so much about the Playboy experience- how could you have missed that one? I know people will say I'm perpetuating what Playboy stood for by saying this, but I don't think Crystal would have stood a chance to be the main girl or to marry Hef if he had been in better health. I think she knew this, and that's why she was so nasty to Holly and Bridget, and it's the reason she banished Bridget from visiting the mansion. She felt threatened by them, even with knowing they had moved on. Crystal has come across as standoffish or just weird in every interview I've seen of her. This even includes her own podcast with Marston as a guest.
@dextermoore278 people have said that towards the end of his life a lot of playboy visitors friends of his that had visited for years were turned away and they attribute that change to crystal but who really knows 🤷🏻♀️
@patriciamontano60 I don't think that Crystal had the POWER TO TURN PEOPLE AWAY FROM THE MANSION. I think Hef was very old and sick the last few years of his life and he probably didn't want people to see him in such bad condition.
I’m listening to her book right now. She actually narrates it quite well, but her social anxiety is pretty evident, here. The book isn’t badly written, and it presents a clear case of narcissistic abuse. I wish her well.
I grew up poor and struggled too. Suffered through all sorts of family devastations. I didn’t have the looks to sell myself to a rich old creep in exchange for wealth. I had to earn my own way. Thank God.
I’d much rather hear about her relationship with her ex Doug than Hugh Hefner. We all know why is she was with Hugh Hefner it was for status and money so of course she hated every minute of it. She didn’t love him that way.
She is following Holly so close. The bad experience with Hef, a book. I just see her being the girl who actually married Hef because she was desperate enough. Podcasting is NOT in her future. I don’t know if she’s trying to Tom Sandoval it and have an obviously cringe “podcast voice” but it makes her stories about as interesting as watching paint dry.
A grown adult clout fame chaser obsessed with celebrities and riches Throwing pity party since she thinks shes past her prime poor me boo hoo nah She is a grown adult placing blame everywhere but not taking accountability for her life choices Nobody held her or forced her to stay in Hugh Hefners life Give me a break As far as having a rough life growing up who basically has not ?
This is such a strange interview. I'm only about halfway through but the incongruency between the way she's speaking her body language and her leakage really makes me question a lot of her story. Why is it so difficult to get this information out of her? She knew why she was coming there right? She knew that y'all were going to talk about this right?
1. She was a dollybird at one of the parties volunteering to meet him. 2. She joined the cult after the Shannon twins tapped out so he needed a new gf at 80+ yo. 3. She was old enough to have done PLENTY of research before hand. 4. No amount of grief or financial struggle would cause someone with a moral compass to get with a geriatric hardcore misogynist. 5. This narrative where your morals go out the window just because you’re poor is utter BS.
this is common in abuse/trauma victims. they kind of get “out of it” to tell their story. from experience sometimes it’s too painful to not put on a face while reciting awful things that happened to you. people with ptsd are frequently called liars for this reason
@@HeyItsAlli007 I don’t do that nor do pole who I know went through abuse nice try but crystal is not genuine it’s for clout and trying to make holly jealous I don’t like crystal
@@Mimixo421 ok so u and whoever u know meanwhile me and all my friends with ptsd do similar so just bc YOU don’t doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. all victims present trauma responses differently. if ur a victim u should know this
She literally is saying the exact same things the way in which holly and worded them. I understand they both went through hell at the hands of this creep. But wtf. It’s like she listened to the girls next level pod and copy pasted.
@@dextermoore278 not word for word unless it was them blaming whoever the main gf was at the time but if you listen to The pod, crystal almost quotes her word for word.
Oh yes ! Those ads are so invasive and so NOT in tune with the general tone of the interview !!! To the point I'm not sure I'd listen to that channel again. Interesting though ! And I don't know how you could earn a living or even cover your expenses otherwise... Don't know where the solution is... Thanks a lot anyway for a good interview !
Y'all must have taken some real acting classes to have hyped up your excitement for this interview so much in the beginning 😂 what we're you waiting for? Cause we all waited and got nothing. Waste of all out time lol I want my view back. Next time do literally anyone else from the entire history of playboy 😊
She’s very hard to listen to. I feel like she’s trying to come up with something to say. Maybe she’s blocking out memories? The San Diego State thing was weird. When she found out you both were familiar with San Diego, she became strange. Maybe it’s her introvert personality? I can’t hardly watch this, but I have to!!
Crystal is nothing but fake! She knew what she was getting into with Hef. She complains about how Hef treated her, yet when Holly put her book out she slammed Holly and shamed her. Called her a liar. But how would she know? She wasnt there! But we are expected to believe her and her "abuse"? She admits that she faked her way into Hefs life. At least Holly truly loved Hef and wanted to make him happy. No way did she say that she "replaced" Holly , Bridgette and Kendra! They left on their own volition!! Wow! Crystal is so delusional. And egotistical. I cant stand Crystal. Also, Playboy is NOT a cult. Please Google what defines a cult. Playboy is NOT it. First, it jas to have some kind of faith system. And isolation from outside influence. Devotion to the leader. Think of Jonestown or NXIUM or Heavens Gate or even Scientology.
It takes a lot to do press publicly and she's visibly quite introverted. Her story is so interesting because she was there in the final days and it's certainly worth hearing. I dont agree with everything she's said in the past about Holly and Bridget but people change and grow and this breaking of her silence feels like growth.
She's really not introverted. This is her ACT to accompany her victim book. Watch old videos of her with Hef when they go out in public. Not an introvert.
Yesss, it's giving what I'm trying to portray is not at all what/who she really is. She seems very manipulative & like she's trying to downplay a lot of her part of it all. Like she hated every second of it, but you stayed for 10 yrs. 🙄
Holly said about how awful & demeaning the sex was since the release of her book 9 years ago & has always been vocal about that so not sure the surprise. It's old news by now
So are we supposed to pretend that it was not about the money? Were these women held against their will? Come one, it was their choice, money for body, quit ccomplaining Also lol to her saying she was shy but was "brave" enough to go to a playboy party WTH?
Westin and I have a lot in common. Especially the morning routine and the importance of being comfortable with YOURSELF. Doing things by yourself, being by yourself, it's a lot of inward self awareness. I can totally relate that it is tough to allow someone in. The energy really has to collide.
It's a boys club. You want Hef to like you. You even got excited you were an A . You weren't kidnapped you were a willing participant. You liked the fame... own your part
You literally had to pull her teeth in this interview… she doesn’t know how to speak, I feel like she’s trying to play this perfect little victim role & it’s kinda annoying. I do feel for her as I know nobody who didn’t go through something traumatic whether it be financially, or fame hungry, whatever to be with someone like Hef for 10 years, I do not think this is sincere or her truth. I hope one day she can be transparent and maybe she’ll actually be able to heal then.
This was just an odd interview. I just finished reading crystals book but it seems her energy is off here. I think she’s really over talking about this part of her life. Seems like she doesn’t want to talk about any of it anymore and she’s giving little responses just to promote her book. Idk.
Why is she acting so weird? Was she super high or something? And she doesn’t directly answer a single question you asked. I wish she acted a little more like she wanted to be there, she just came off kind of rude, slow, and like she just didn’t want to be there
@@tmbrad1288 oh Brad, 🤦🏼♀️ 1. Some were just brought to parties just so men could “have their way with them”. They didn’t know that was the expectation and they didn’t have a chance to consent. Even Marilyn Grabowski set women up. She’s bring them to parties and leave them know full well what was going to happen. And those parties were up in the Hollywood hills. They didn’t have cell phones or Uber, they were stuck there. 2. Hef worked very hard to make it impossible to leave (the main girlfriends). 3. If it were a cult they still wouldn’t be able to leave. You said it’s not trafficking because they have a choice. You don’t have choice in a cult. And according to you they have a choice to leave so, according to you, it’s not a cult.
@@tmbrad1288 not to mention the men weren’t hero worshiping Hef like he was Jim Jones. They were using him for sex (with other women) drugs and entertainment. Look up Pig Night the dog fucking story.
It's really nice to hear the insane reality here in LA..... refreshing to find like-minded individuals who have the true awareness of how " Glorified image, " that for far too long mislead so many and the absurdity of what some still sell their souls for!!!!
She’s confused. If she’s 37 she was in college from 2004-2008 (not 2000-2004 that would be highschool) I know this to be true because I’m 37 & was at sdsu with her. I lived in the dorms (same floor) with her college bf that played hockey. I actually met her once before she was who she is now. Crazy lol. But honestly she’s boring, not a good interviewee , it’s like pulling teeth to get the details & info out of her in any sort of captivating way. Much prefer holly & Bridget and even Kendra . And let’s all be real she was with him for the $$ because she clearly said she wasn’t in love with him and hated sleeping with him…
I can’t stand her whispery voice. It’s like she’s extremely tired and uninterested. It was also very disappointing how little she knew about the history of the magazine.
the animal a woman wants to work towards is a DEER. she's mysterious. she's divine. she's high-value. she moves in a soft fluid motion. She's independent. She is the epitome of feminine energy. xx -ALLIE
It’s interesting how Michael was saying this all wouldn’t happen now with how Hef behaved etc and the nature of the playboy mansion. But they just had on and essentially promoted the 2024 version of Hef which is Dan Bilzerian. It still happens and it’s so wrong.
And you saw what of her when she was there? Tiiny snippets on an edited reality show where producers kept asking her to be more outgoing? TV interviews when Hef told her in advance what to say? Read her book and you'll see whether she was happy or not
Its called a woman scorned.She still feels bitter that she accepted Heff do orgies with her.Plus she is tired of being labled a goldigger so only way out of all that is claim she a victim.
I like Crystal's interviews. Some commenters complain about her speaking style and suggest she get more media training. But if she gets more media training she will sound the same as everyone else who gives interviews.
She’s still really broken. I think not having her dad and her mom pushing her into that world really messed her up. I don’t think she can heal because she doesn’t have God in her life. I pray she finds him and is able to fully recover.
@@sarahlang2119 Why are you all over the comments defending this goldigger? Oh i see its because you dont have God in your life and you want to hate on other like Crystal does.She biting the hand that fed her just like Holly did as well.
A 21 year old most of us don’t know who we are at 21 and your brain is still growing until you’re 25, so if you get under the influence of someone like that awful human (Heff) I can see it I can see how somebody falls for the whole thing, security fame fortune being taken care of by an older man, especially if your father died young. Because your brain is so grown until you’re 25 nobody knows who they are at that age you’re still a child in my opinion you’re still a child at 21 in a certain way.
On the implant thing. I have naturally large breasts but last year I lost a dramatic amount of weight and lost 2 cup sizes. And I know what you mean about breathing and neck pain. I got back to my normal weight and they're big again. But I didn't make that connection til now
I can’t stand this women. They all loved him supposedly, enjoy the spotlight, the glam, the money, now that he’s deceased, they are all victims😂. They have no other talent ?
I usually love your podcasts, I didn't like this one at all. She seemed so uncomfortable, and when Lauren asked her questions, it didn't even seem like she was answering anything just like um um um...
Agonizing to listen too. You say how interesting it would be to hear about his past and C says yeah I know about his past and you just IGNORE that opportunity to ask ANY questions and move on to another topic!! OMg!!!! You guys are all asleep here!!
I skipped to the part where they talk about breast implant illness because my mom had that hapoen to her and I was interested to see the differences/similarities. Its the only part of this interview that I would say is worth listening to.
When you have breast implant illness, you're not supposed to get any type of filler, as the same thing will happen again. Strange she has so much filler, as if she thinks no one is educated enough to know better.
The math is not mathing here, she moves in 2009, he dies in 2017, that is not a decade, minus the time she bolted out of her wedding, not sure how long she stayed away before she came running back but again she was not there 10 years 🤭
So.. this is just odd! Hefner dated some of the most beautiful women in the world, “ naturally “ beautiful back in the day before the massive amounts of injections/ boat loads of plastic surgery. How did she get in to the circle & marry him?! I feel bad but she is so basic, painfully, painfully awkward, cheesy, seems like she either has multiple personalities or is faking. What is with this super sad down talk?! I can’t even explain how bizarre it seems 🤷♀️
I think the only reason hef married her is because he didn't want his last gf to walk out on him, he knew his time was coming and didn't want to die alone 🤷🏼♀️ that's my guess though
crazy how many ppl r shami g her for marrying him despite not loving him/for money. babes. he was flashy w his money, he picked young naive women, and he knew how to do things to make it look like the girls were in the wrong. do you think 60 year olds have enough in common with 20 year olds to fall in love with them either? NO! what is not clicking! it was supposed to be “mutually beneficial” and that DOESNT JUSTIFY HIM ABUSING HER!!
How is it abuse if he never forced her to do things he asked her and she said yes.Its like me going on a date with a rich man and he tells me he does orgies i have the option to not date him again or to keep on dating him.Its so simple she stayed cause of money and fame no one put a gun to her head.
@@marilyndoll2929 you know absolutely nothing about power dynamics or abusers who frame things as “it’s your choice” but make it terrible to say no. you lack the proper understanding for this conversation i can already tell. i am not engaging further
@@marilyndoll2929 if people just got up and left the second things got abusive, abuse wouldn’t exist. it is calculated, so that it can either. be swept under the rug, twisted to make the abuser look good or even rile up the victim enough to get angry and turn around and call them the abuser. it is complicated and hard to escape and you clearly lack understanding.
This is a horrible interview. The interviewers seem much more invested in pushing their own opinions. Anyone interested in the story should get Crystal's audiobook, Only Say Good Things." It's very well written and beautifully read by Crystal herself.
Ok, I’m sorry but I’ve now watched Crystal on this podcast and one episode of HER podcast, and she has to be one of the WORST conversationalist I’ve ever heard!
Only the last 25 years of Heff’s life, when he was younger Playboy was looked at as cool and sophisticated. It’s only when Heff got older that he and the Playboy brand became dark and creepy.
I see that so many of the former girlfriends felt exactly the same in so many aspects. The only former girlfriend that went in with a healthy sense of self, IMO, was Bridget & even she wound up with moments of "am I enough?" and the majority were looking for a place to belong & security. A lot of young people are looking for the security of someone who will take care of them & their needs. Kind of like having a good parent & maybe a loving spouse. They were not going to get this in Hef but they did have some security, better than they had, and this is how they fall into the Rabbit Hole that was life at the mansion. I can look back on my life when I was young & it was society norms that kept me from ever feeling pretty enough or thin enough. I most certainly was & luckily there was no social media or access to plastic surgery for whatever we were lacking in. We had misc.Teen magazines & Cosmo to follow. These girls weren't that far behind my generation of 20 somethings trying to find where they fit in. I feel 100% different about Crystal after watching just a few interviews with her. Had I been her, I would have felt obliged to marry someone who had no one but me at the end. I'm proud of her for nixing the implants & bleached out hair which told Hef, take it or leave it, this is me..
People judge all hef's girlfriends way too much.... Like they said in this episode it Is like instagram models and only fans nowdays ... I would like yo know what about their parents and what they didn't opposed to this
Everyone put it on 1.5 speed trust me!
lmao so true
YASSSSSSSS!!!!
It's x2 for me!
I know!! I am fast forwarding they this so much because it’s so slow!!!!!
She is painfully awkward I feel bad it’s hard to watch.. like explaining her childhood.. seemed hard for her to even remember.
Whenever I read one of the books by former Playboy girlfriends what I really want to know is what happened in your life that you thought having sex with a man 4 times your age was your only choice in life. Crystal's book explained it to me. The first part of the book detailing her life before she even made it to Playboy was just as interesting as the part when she made it to the Playboy mansion. I was actually sad when I finished the book. I highly recommend it.
She just wanted that money and lifestyle.
@shannonsmith2642 have you read the book? If not, don't opine ignorantly
@@sarahlang2119 she admitted it in the book that she pretended with Hef. She used him to get that lifestyle.
So she hated it all back then. Why not just say that she was with Hef for financial security? When I was 19, lived in a 3rd world country with limited opportunities and a poor family I want to take care of, if a rich man like Hef said to me, marry and at the end of my life you will get a mil for each year we remain married and live in the lap of luxury while we are together, I promise you, I wouldn't immediately dismiss it. I would think about it. When you have limited resources, the stuff at Maslow's hierarchy of needs is not most people's priority.
These women were there for fame, success and money. Period. Hell they’re still cashing in with various books, appearances podcasts. They were able to leave and many did like Brande. Not buying these sad sob stories these women tell. Yes Hefner definitely had a dark side no denying that but they choose to stay.
She always sounds flat and it's hard to keep listening to her.
She's drugged out. Acts weird in the majority of these interviews.
She sounds tired,probably needs to recharge, She is usually a bit more vibrant,
This is better than ambien!
On 2x speed it's still slow. Girl has zero personality

Crystal really needs some media training with her book tour. She’s a horrible story teller.
That’s so funny I was thinking that too! She needs some media training.
@@adrieneceleste The publisher should have worked with getting her media training to prepare for her book tour. She's horrible at selling her book. I'm not interested in reading it at all.
That's because she had 1-2 ghost writers helping create a story from her notes. She's monotone and drugged out.
I’ve seen some interviews that flowed well and a couple that I’m wondering if she was traveling a lot and tired from so many interviews. I’ve heard more positive on her book. Haven’t heard any negative.
She should stop looking down. Makes interview very difficult to follow & stay connected to. I have watched a few of her interviews and she definitely needs some coaching
Did anyone else notice she said she started college in 2000, but she's now 37. That means in 2000 she would have been 14, I don't think she was at San Diego state at 14.... Something is not adding up, literally.
Lol probably doesn't know how to do math.
Right! I’m 43 and started in 1999
So, something is off
Something is off about her. She measures every word she says.
She's just as much of a narcissist/liar as Hef. She's trying to play like she is/was this shy introvert, BS.
Something is wonky about the Polaroid story too. The timeline is off. It's possible she was under the influence of some substance, and is fuzzy on the dates. I know if it were me, I would have to be under the influence of some sort of substance to have sex with a man that is that much older than me.. That's just me 🤷♀️
She is a spacy girl! Could not always follow where her story was going.
She contradicts herself constantly. She needs to just SAY she was there for opportunity, status and money. Point blank period.
Crystal seems a little... odd. It's like she has this soft-spoken, gentle, innocent persona she's trying to portray, and then she'll randomly switch to this deeper voice and say things with an aggressive tone. Very strange interview, she seems disingenuous. Maybe I'm just reading her totally wrong but idk.
I mean don't you have to be odd to have sex with a man 60 years older than you?
She’s introverted and insecure. That’s all
I think maybe popped a gummy or was on medication beforehand to deal with her physical pain. She’s spoken about her chronic pain before.
You are correct. She's clearly on some type of drug. She acts out of it in these interviews for the book. For those who believe she's an introvert, go watch videos of her and Hef out in the public.

One of the things I look for in an interview is that the host lets the guest speak.
The host has some sensitivity to what the GUEST is trying to express.
The host doesn’t tell the guest how they MUST feel,
Or describe the guests personal experience, for them.
Labeling (“cult”)
Or putting words into the guest’s mouth, does not constitute how they feel.
The interviewer is not interviewing themselves or how they feel or How they IMAGINE that experience was for the guest.
Crystal is obviously trying to reach some pretty deep memories and may have some conflicted feelings about the benefits and the draw backs of experiencing the Playboy culture.
Thank you for saving me from making this same comment. On a scale of 1-10. This interview is a solid 1.
The interviewer is way too opinionated to be effective. She doesn't have a real desire to know the truth. She is too invested in her own soapbox!
I agree with this I don’t think the interviewers are very good even though I like them. I don’t think they are pulling the right stuff out of her and the right interviewer could do that. Correct
@@jae6335👍👍
If she lacks empathy for others like Holly and Bridget, why should she expect we have empathy for her story? I believe most of her story but it’s difficult to have belief in her sincerity
Weird how she switches her voice
Exactly she had nothing nice to say about Holly but has basically admitted she never loved hef. Holly did at least love him, it wasnt a healthy love but at least she cared for him.
I don't buy this victim character at all. I'm sure at the time there was excitement like "Yay I was picked! I get to party with celebrities" and she acts like she didn't feel that. I'm sure she felt that in the moment and looking back she can see, "Whoa, I was party decor. "
I don't believe her story. I think she is trying to get sympathy and figured she'd get it from copying Holly.
I've never liked Crystal. She seemed fake when she was on the last season of GND. She's still fake.
@@fantuckstic your on point . Crystal is a phony
“$25 an hour which was decent back then” I -
Crystal is confusing. I have seen a few other interviews of her about her book and in some of those Hefner is an evil man who uses women for sex etc etc in others he's not that bad and taught her stuff. Am I missing something?
Because she is a liar.
Is crystal ok? This is a very strange interview and I hope she will be fine 😊
She's drugged out and acts f'd up and out of it in the handful of interviews I've watched.
She may have PTSD- I Can see why she would have it....
Basically she might have well just said she didn't actually love him she only married him for financial security and to fulfill her life at the time because that's basically what she hinted at. This interview was literally like waiting for the paint to dry on the wall... Waste of time and no sort of direct answer when asked a question. Sorry but just being honest. 🤷 Bridget and Holly would have been a better interview about the inner works of the mansion and Heff. Crystal is ugh ya. 😂
But isn't that why young ladies fall for these older men in the first place ....perfect example with Anna Nicole and her billionaire and when she spoke of him you could see love in her eyes.....you don't see that with crystal tho...
I feel bad for her and how uncomfortable she is but that's a me prob lol empath all the way
@@Daanis99 JMO there's a difference when you actually love/care about someone and with that relationship you reap certain benefits versus someone who doesn't care about someone but only using them for their own gain. Based off this interview alone and how Crystal talked about Heff it's not as if she loved or even cared about him but as if he disgusted her and she can't even provide a REASON to why she chose to date let alone marry him. I don't feel bad for her because even all his previous GFS said he was upfront and honest about what he wanted and his expectations, the door was open where they could leave anytime no one was holding them hostage and they chose to be there and so did she. I just wish she was upfront and honest instead of tip-toeing around it.
Crystal, with interviews like this, no one will buy your book. Watch this and make notes on how to improve your next interview. Pls don't take this as me being mean.
do u think ppl just dip out when things get abusive? ur making it sound a lot easier than it is. do u think hugh is genuinely in love with these 20 year olds too at his big age or do u not wanna admit he’s using them for their bodies too?
she crossed the border and clearly u don’t seem to understand nuance but that does make her more vulnerable to exploitation for money. stop blaming women for getting exploited and stop vomiting out the same words hugh used to defend his abusive self. do better
You should’ve interviewed Holly and Bridget instead of her
It is possible for them to be interested in interviewing all of them, separately, to hear their own separate experiences, instead of constantly comparing them.
Yea this was kind of a snoozer.
I mean, I will agree, it was hard keeping focused. It felt like they had to literally pull the conversation out of her.
Not a favorite episode of mine. I didn’t waste my time & moved on to another episode. Hefner & his Playboy bunnies never interested me.
She is a lovely lady with a warm soul.
I'm going to repeat what has been said again and again in the comments - an interview with Bridget and Holly would have been much better. These 2 interviewers could have learned a ton more about the inner workings of the mansion and how traumatic the sex was by reading Down the Rabbit Hole. The female interviewer claims to have read so much about the Playboy experience- how could you have missed that one?
I know people will say I'm perpetuating what Playboy stood for by saying this, but I don't think Crystal would have stood a chance to be the main girl or to marry Hef if he had been in better health. I think she knew this, and that's why she was so nasty to Holly and Bridget, and it's the reason she banished Bridget from visiting the mansion. She felt threatened by them, even with knowing they had moved on. Crystal has come across as standoffish or just weird in every interview I've seen of her. This even includes her own podcast with Marston as a guest.
I agree with u
How do you know that Crystal banned Bridget from the Mansion!??? I never heard that.
@dextermoore278 people have said that towards the end of his life a lot of playboy visitors friends of his that had visited for years were turned away and they attribute that change to crystal but who really knows 🤷🏻♀️
@patriciamontano60 I don't think that Crystal had the POWER TO TURN PEOPLE AWAY FROM THE MANSION. I think Hef was very old and sick the last few years of his life and he probably didn't want people to see him in such bad condition.
@dextermoore278 I said who knows, it could of been his wishes or hers only the people that were there and she knows now for sure
Invisible disabilities are real. I have a brain injury and brain cancer.
Solidarity to this wonderful woman ❤
I’m listening to her book right now. She actually narrates it quite well, but her social anxiety is pretty evident, here. The book isn’t badly written, and it presents a clear case of narcissistic abuse. I wish her well.
I grew up poor and struggled too. Suffered through all sorts of family devastations. I didn’t have the looks to sell myself to a rich old creep in exchange for wealth. I had to earn my own way. Thank God.
I’d much rather hear about her relationship with her ex Doug than Hugh Hefner. We all know why is she was with Hugh Hefner it was for status and money so of course she hated every minute of it. She didn’t love him that way.
She is following Holly so close. The bad experience with Hef, a book.
I just see her being the girl who actually married Hef because she was desperate enough.
Podcasting is NOT in her future. I don’t know if she’s trying to Tom Sandoval it and have an obviously cringe “podcast voice” but it makes her stories about as interesting as watching paint dry.
A grown adult clout fame chaser obsessed with celebrities and riches Throwing pity party since she thinks shes past her prime poor me boo hoo nah She is a grown adult placing blame everywhere but not taking accountability for her life choices Nobody held her or forced her to stay in Hugh Hefners life Give me a break As far as having a rough life growing up who basically has not ?
This is such a strange interview. I'm only about halfway through but the incongruency between the way she's speaking her body language and her leakage really makes me question a lot of her story. Why is it so difficult to get this information out of her? She knew why she was coming there right? She knew that y'all were going to talk about this right?
💯
She says in her book that she's uncomfortable doing media interviews and I can totally see why given the way some interviewers treat her
1. She was a dollybird at one of the parties volunteering to meet him.
2. She joined the cult after the Shannon twins tapped out so he needed a new gf at 80+ yo.
3. She was old enough to have done PLENTY of research before hand.
4. No amount of grief or financial struggle would cause someone with a moral compass to get with a geriatric hardcore misogynist.
5. This narrative where your morals go out the window just because you’re poor is utter BS.
HOLLY, BRIDGET, KENDRA, THE SHANNON TWINS, ETC WERE ALL HEF'S GIRLFRIENDS. CRYSTAL IS JUST LIKE THEM.
@@dextermoore278 crystal is actually WORSE. None of the others actually married a dude old enough to be her grandfather
Holly definitely w-a-n-t-e-d to be married to Hef, but he wouldn't marry her.
Read the book then come back and judge
@@sarahlang2119 no need.
She seems so uncomfortable but also sounds like she has multiple personalities that keep changing throughout the interview., strange
She changed her voice to sad and slow for sympathy
Yeah.. I notice that
this is common in abuse/trauma victims. they kind of get “out of it” to tell their story. from experience sometimes it’s too painful to not put on a face while reciting awful things that happened to you. people with ptsd are frequently called liars for this reason
@@HeyItsAlli007 I don’t do that nor do pole who I know went through abuse nice try but crystal is not genuine it’s for clout and trying to make holly jealous I don’t like crystal
@@Mimixo421 ok so u and whoever u know meanwhile me and all my friends with ptsd do similar so just bc YOU don’t doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. all victims present trauma responses differently. if ur a victim u should know this
Great interview!
She literally is saying the exact same things the way in which holly and worded them. I understand they both went through hell at the hands of this creep. But wtf. It’s like she listened to the girls next level pod and copy pasted.
All the girlfriends of Hef say the same things about him. Hef was a controlling, mean Narcissist.
@@dextermoore278 not word for word unless it was them blaming whoever the main gf was at the time but if you listen to
The pod, crystal almost quotes her word for word.
it could’ve just been that she heard what she said and it resonated with her bc they experienced the same shit at the hands of the same man. but idk.
This is my first time listening to this podcast, and the interview is great. There’s way too many ads though.
Oh yes ! Those ads are so invasive and so NOT in tune with the general tone of the interview !!! To the point I'm not sure I'd listen to that channel again.
Interesting though ! And I don't know how you could earn a living or even cover your expenses otherwise... Don't know where the solution is... Thanks a lot anyway for a good interview !
Y'all must have taken some real acting classes to have hyped up your excitement for this interview so much in the beginning 😂 what we're you waiting for? Cause we all waited and got nothing. Waste of all out time lol I want my view back. Next time do literally anyone else from the entire history of playboy 😊
Hold up, I’m 39 and didn’t graduate high school until 2002. How did she, who said she’s 37, go to college from 2000-2004?????????
She probably meant high school ?
None of her numbers have ever added up lol. She’s a liar
She’s very hard to listen to. I feel like she’s trying to come up with something to say. Maybe she’s blocking out memories? The San Diego State thing was weird. When she found out you both were familiar with San Diego, she became strange. Maybe it’s her introvert personality? I can’t hardly watch this, but I have to!!
It would be nice to see Crystal and Holly and Bridget get interviewed together
They have an interview on the juicy scoop with heather mcdonald and they have a whole podcast together called “Girls Next Level”
@@anonymousviewer328they said Crystal holly and Bridget
They are not just talking Bridget holly together they wants all 3
Crystal is nothing but fake! She knew what she was getting into with Hef. She complains about how Hef treated her, yet when Holly put her book out she slammed Holly and shamed her. Called her a liar. But how would she know? She wasnt there!
But we are expected to believe her and her "abuse"?
She admits that she faked her way into Hefs life.
At least Holly truly loved Hef and wanted to make him happy. No way did she say that she "replaced" Holly , Bridgette and Kendra! They left on their own volition!! Wow! Crystal is so delusional. And egotistical.
I cant stand Crystal.
Also, Playboy is NOT a cult. Please Google what defines a cult. Playboy is NOT it.
First, it jas to have some kind of faith system. And isolation from outside influence. Devotion to the leader. Think of Jonestown or NXIUM or Heavens Gate or even Scientology.
Omg, this vocal fry is excruciating
It takes a lot to do press publicly and she's visibly quite introverted. Her story is so interesting because she was there in the final days and it's certainly worth hearing. I dont agree with everything she's said in the past about Holly and Bridget but people change and grow and this breaking of her silence feels like growth.
She's really not introverted. This is her ACT to accompany her victim book. Watch old videos of her with Hef when they go out in public. Not an introvert.
She was just being a bitch to Bridget in her insta stories, not sure how that's growth 🤷🏼♀️
Crystal reminds me of amber heard
Right !
Theres something so unlikable about her
Yesss, it's giving what I'm trying to portray is not at all what/who she really is. She seems very manipulative & like she's trying to downplay a lot of her part of it all. Like she hated every second of it, but you stayed for 10 yrs. 🙄
That is way harsh and I completely disagree with you
The breast explant removal 'side effects' you all mention are SO relatable... It brings tears to my eyes 🙏❤️
Yesssss who tf still has a boob job in 2024 😂
Thank you 💎✨
Holly said about how awful & demeaning the sex was since the release of her book 9 years ago & has always been vocal about that so not sure the surprise. It's old news by now
So are we supposed to pretend that it was not about the money? Were these women held against their will? Come one, it was their choice, money for body, quit ccomplaining
Also lol to her saying she was shy but was "brave" enough to go to a playboy party WTH?
Westin and I have a lot in common. Especially the morning routine and the importance of being comfortable with YOURSELF. Doing things by yourself, being by yourself, it's a lot of inward self awareness. I can totally relate that it is tough to allow someone in. The energy really has to collide.
ambition is huge. constantly wanting to evolve.
Thanks for sharing! 💕
❤ Great, and interesting, interview!‼️
It's a boys club. You want Hef to like you. You even got excited you were an A . You weren't kidnapped you were a willing participant. You liked the fame... own your part
she paints him to be such a terrible guy yet, she keeps his last name
You literally had to pull her teeth in this interview… she doesn’t know how to speak, I feel like she’s trying to play this perfect little victim role & it’s kinda annoying. I do feel for her as I know nobody who didn’t go through something traumatic whether it be financially, or fame hungry, whatever to be with someone like Hef for 10 years, I do not think this is sincere or her truth. I hope one day she can be transparent and maybe she’ll actually be able to heal then.
I’m glad and proud that Crystal broke her promise to Hugh Hefner.
This was just an odd interview. I just finished reading crystals book but it seems her energy is off here. I think she’s really over talking about this part of her life. Seems like she doesn’t want to talk about any of it anymore and she’s giving little responses just to promote her book. Idk.
Why is she acting so weird? Was she super high or something? And she doesn’t directly answer a single question you asked. I wish she acted a little more like she wanted to be there, she just came off kind of rude, slow, and like she just didn’t want to be there
I wonder if she got high before this interview. She seems so awkward. I feel like she is off and things dont add up.
Watch at least on 1.25 X speed or faster I promise you and even at that it’s hard to keep your attention!!!
Thank you!
Nailed it!
It's not a cult. It's awful, it's definitely trafficking, but it's not a cult.
I wasn’t trafficking because those women could’ve walked out at anytime but they chose to stay.
@@tmbrad1288 oh Brad, 🤦🏼♀️ 1. Some were just brought to parties just so men could “have their way with them”. They didn’t know that was the expectation and they didn’t have a chance to consent. Even Marilyn Grabowski set women up. She’s bring them to parties and leave them know full well what was going to happen. And those parties were up in the Hollywood hills. They didn’t have cell phones or Uber, they were stuck there. 2. Hef worked very hard to make it impossible to leave (the main girlfriends). 3. If it were a cult they still wouldn’t be able to leave. You said it’s not trafficking because they have a choice. You don’t have choice in a cult. And according to you they have a choice to leave so, according to you, it’s not a cult.
@@tmbrad1288 not to mention the men weren’t hero worshiping Hef like he was Jim Jones. They were using him for sex (with other women) drugs and entertainment. Look up Pig Night the dog fucking story.
I think it was a cult of personality
It's really nice to hear the insane reality here in LA..... refreshing to find like-minded individuals who have the true awareness of how " Glorified image, " that for far too long mislead so many and the absurdity of what some still sell their souls for!!!!
Why does she still use the Hefner name if it was that terrible? Capitalizing on the name??? Still about the money then?
Psychological abuse doesn't just go away, even if the person does
Also, maybe she’ll change her name back after she finishes her book tour and gets her podcast popular. In the meantime she’s using it for recognition
She's promoting the book. It makes sense to use it now. She said she is going to change it back later.
She's using it for this money grab. She's going back to using her maiden name after.
She did not say good things about him 😂😂😂 she made it incestuous and cultish….maybe those are good things to these people 😂😮😢
So basically she never gave a crap about hef at all lol. He might have been a narcissist but she is as well.
I agree with implants, sadly I got some last year but I had breast cancer and had to. 😢
She’s confused. If she’s 37 she was in college from 2004-2008 (not 2000-2004 that would be highschool) I know this to be true because I’m 37 & was at sdsu with her. I lived in the dorms (same floor) with her college bf that played hockey. I actually met her once before she was who she is now. Crazy lol. But honestly she’s boring, not a good interviewee , it’s like pulling teeth to get the details & info out of her in any sort of captivating way. Much prefer holly & Bridget and even Kendra . And let’s all be real she was with him for the $$ because she clearly said she wasn’t in love with him and hated sleeping with him…
I can’t stand her whispery voice. It’s like she’s extremely tired and uninterested. It was also very disappointing how little she knew about the history of the magazine.
the animal a woman wants to work towards is a DEER. she's mysterious. she's divine. she's high-value. she moves in a soft fluid motion. She's independent. She is the epitome of feminine energy. xx -ALLIE
It’s interesting how Michael was saying this all wouldn’t happen now with how Hef behaved etc and the nature of the playboy mansion. But they just had on and essentially promoted the 2024 version of Hef which is Dan Bilzerian. It still happens and it’s so wrong.
She seemed much happier when she was there, I have followed her much of that time. If she could do that for 10 years, she should go into acting
And you saw what of her when she was there? Tiiny snippets on an edited reality show where producers kept asking her to be more outgoing? TV interviews when Hef told her in advance what to say? Read her book and you'll see whether she was happy or not
@@sarahlang2119 of course i read her book, i always loved Crystal!!! still following her on all platforms and wish her all the very best!!
Its called a woman scorned.She still feels bitter that she accepted Heff do orgies with her.Plus she is tired of being labled a goldigger so only way out of all that is claim she a victim.
I like Crystal's interviews.
Some commenters complain about her speaking style and suggest she get more media training.
But if she gets more media training she will sound the same as everyone else who gives interviews.
She’s boring
She’s still really broken. I think not having her dad and her mom pushing her into that world really messed her up.
I don’t think she can heal because she doesn’t have God in her life. I pray she finds him and is able to fully recover.
Oh, please. Just cos some people think God is real doesn't mean others need to share that delusion to heal
@@sarahlang2119 Why are you all over the comments defending this goldigger? Oh i see its because you dont have God in your life and you want to hate on other like Crystal does.She biting the hand that fed her just like Holly did as well.
Some of us never met either of our parents and have still never chose a lifestyle for money to then play victim to. Yikes.
Great interview really like & respect Crystal. Wishing her all the best in life
I would like to read Crystal's book. She's had quite a life already.
A 21 year old most of us don’t know who we are at 21 and your brain is still growing until you’re 25, so if you get under the influence of someone like that awful human (Heff) I can see it I can see how somebody falls for the whole thing, security fame fortune being taken care of by an older man, especially if your father died young. Because your brain is so grown until you’re 25 nobody knows who they are at that age you’re still a child in my opinion you’re still a child at 21 in a certain way.
So if a 21 year old rapes a 12 year old would you defend the part where the 21 year olds Brain isn't developed yet?
She had no problem leaving him the first four times... 😂
Strange girl.
She married someone who could have been her grandfather 😮
On the implant thing. I have naturally large breasts but last year I lost a dramatic amount of weight and lost 2 cup sizes. And I know what you mean about breathing and neck pain. I got back to my normal weight and they're big again. But I didn't make that connection til now
Why do I keep feeling uncomfortable as though she’s trying to talk sexy?! It’s odd
I can’t stand this women. They all loved him supposedly, enjoy the spotlight, the glam, the money, now that he’s deceased, they are all victims😂. They have no other talent ?
I usually love your podcasts, I didn't like this one at all. She seemed so uncomfortable, and when Lauren asked her questions, it didn't even seem like she was answering anything just like um um um...
Why are your sponsees only pictures of the company and not the products? At least they are easy to skip by cause I find them very boring ads😓
This is excruciating to watch. Good job to Micheal and Lauryn for…trying.
The chemistry between you guys 😂
Agonizing to listen too.
You say how interesting it would be to hear about his past and C says yeah I know about his past and you just IGNORE that opportunity to ask ANY questions and move on to another topic!!
OMg!!!!
You guys are all asleep here!!
I skipped to the part where they talk about breast implant illness because my mom had that hapoen to her and I was interested to see the differences/similarities. Its the only part of this interview that I would say is worth listening to.
When you have breast implant illness, you're not supposed to get any type of filler, as the same thing will happen again. Strange she has so much filler, as if she thinks no one is educated enough to know better.
How much commercials does this have ??? Why am I paying for RUclips
Heff didn't read the books on power... he wrote them.
Lauryn + Michael you guys are amazing interviewers. Crystal seems like something is on her mind.
The math is not mathing here, she moves in 2009, he dies in 2017, that is not a decade, minus the time she bolted out of her wedding, not sure how long she stayed away before she came running back but again she was not there 10 years 🤭
So.. this is just odd!
Hefner dated some of the most beautiful women in the world, “ naturally “ beautiful back in the day before the massive amounts of injections/ boat loads of plastic surgery.
How did she get in to the circle & marry him?! I feel bad but she is so basic, painfully, painfully awkward, cheesy, seems like she either has multiple personalities or is faking. What is with this super sad down talk?! I can’t even explain how bizarre it seems 🤷♀️
I think the only reason hef married her is because he didn't want his last gf to walk out on him, he knew his time was coming and didn't want to die alone 🤷🏼♀️ that's my guess though
I can't even explain how bizarre it is that you thought it was OK to post what you posted.
crazy how many ppl r shami g her for marrying him despite not loving him/for money. babes. he was flashy w his money, he picked young naive women, and he knew how to do things to make it look like the girls were in the wrong. do you think 60 year olds have enough in common with 20 year olds to fall in love with them either? NO! what is not clicking! it was supposed to be “mutually beneficial” and that DOESNT JUSTIFY HIM ABUSING HER!!
Well said!
How is it abuse if he never forced her to do things he asked her and she said yes.Its like me going on a date with a rich man and he tells me he does orgies i have the option to not date him again or to keep on dating him.Its so simple she stayed cause of money and fame no one put a gun to her head.
@@marilyndoll2929 you know absolutely nothing about power dynamics or abusers who frame things as “it’s your choice” but make it terrible to say no. you lack the proper understanding for this conversation i can already tell. i am not engaging further
@@marilyndoll2929 and whatever if she stayed for that it doesn’t justify him abusing her once she stayed dipshit
@@marilyndoll2929 if people just got up and left the second things got abusive, abuse wouldn’t exist. it is calculated, so that it can either. be swept under the rug, twisted to make the abuser look good or even rile up the victim enough to get angry and turn around and call them the abuser. it is complicated and hard to escape and you clearly lack understanding.
This is a horrible interview. The interviewers seem much more invested in pushing their own opinions. Anyone interested in the story should get Crystal's audiobook, Only Say Good Things." It's very well written and beautifully read by Crystal herself.
Thank u for hitting the nail on the head.
Should of interviewed holly and Bridgette she was a rebound and a replacement of holly I just can’t take this woman series
Holly has already told her story A MILLION TIMES AND SHE IS STILL TALKING ABOUT HEF AND PLAYBOY. I WANT TO HEAR WHAT CRYSTAL HAS TO SAY.
She's 37 but went to SDSU from 2000-2004?
I think she confused her high school years, seems like she would have been at college 2004-2008
Ok, I’m sorry but I’ve now watched Crystal on this podcast and one episode of HER podcast, and she has to be one of the WORST conversationalist I’ve ever heard!
Has Crystal apologied to Holly?
This comments section is a real viper’s pit.
She seems really sad and depressed.
Playboy Mansion sounds a little like a modern slave market...
Only the last 25 years of Heff’s life, when he was younger Playboy was looked at as cool and sophisticated.
It’s only when Heff got older that he and the Playboy brand became dark and creepy.
It’s a myth to do them every 10 years my plastic surgeon said you don’t have to unless you have an issue and most people don’t
The PlayBoy Mansion should have been shut down a long time ago while Hugh Hefner was alive…
I see that so many of the former girlfriends felt exactly the same in so many aspects. The only former girlfriend that went in with a healthy sense of self, IMO, was Bridget & even she wound up with moments of "am I enough?" and the majority were looking for a place to belong & security. A lot of young people are looking for the security of someone who will take care of them & their needs. Kind of like having a good parent & maybe a loving spouse. They were not going to get this in Hef but they did have some security, better than they had, and this is how they fall into the Rabbit Hole that was life at the mansion. I can look back on my life when I was young & it was society norms that kept me from ever feeling pretty enough or thin enough. I most certainly was & luckily there was no social media or access to plastic surgery for whatever we were lacking in. We had misc.Teen magazines & Cosmo to follow. These girls weren't that far behind my generation of 20 somethings trying to find where they fit in. I feel 100% different about Crystal after watching just a few interviews with her. Had I been her, I would have felt obliged to marry someone who had no one but me at the end. I'm proud of her for nixing the implants & bleached out hair which told Hef, take it or leave it, this is me..
did she take a bunch of Xanax before the interview
People judge all hef's girlfriends way too much.... Like they said in this episode it Is like instagram models and only fans nowdays ... I would like yo know what about their parents and what they didn't opposed to this
Some people are great interviewees! Some are not… 😅
42:13 thats a very cogent analysis of insecurities for super attractive people
