Following Holly Madison’s recent allegation about the so-called drama between Crystal Hefner and Hugh Hefner over their prenup, Crystal is ready to set the record straight.
Earlier this month, Hugh’s son, Marston Hefner, stopped by fellow Girls Next Door star, Bridget Marquardt and Madison’s Girls Next Level podcast to talk about his father’s relationship with Crystal.
During the conversation, Madison claimed that Crystal left Hugh days before their 2011 wedding because she was “unhappy” with the prenup.
“[Hugh] wanted to give her $2 million in his will and she said, ‘That’s not enough. That’s not enough to buy a house. I’m being taken advantage of,’” Madison alleged. She also said that the couple got into a fight. “[Hugh said], ‘I didn’t know I was marrying a gold digger.’”
Fellow Girls Next Door star, Bridget Marquardt, said she questioned Crystal Hefner’s remark that she didn’t financially benefit from marrying Hugh.
“She’s trying to act like she never got a penny from him,” Madison stated. “And that she’s this magical girlboss who’s making $7,000 a day deejaying and she just magically turned that into a real estate empire.”
However, Crystal Hefner told Us Weekly the prenup didn’t change after she and Hugh reconciled. “When I came back, I signed the exact same thing,” Crystal confirmed. “I don’t know how [Holly] can credibly comment on something she wasn’t around for and has no idea about.”
Crystal then said that Madison and Marquardt seem to envy her and her success. “It seems like they’re jealous of money things… of success.”
Crystal and Hugh Hefner got married in 2012. They were together until Hugh died from sepsis brought on by an E. coli infection. He was 91 years old at the time.
Hugh Hefner’s Son Accuses Crystal of Changing Playboy Mogul’s Will
Meanwhile, sources also told Us Weekly that Hugh’s son Marston turned on Crystal because of her book, Only Say Good Things: Surviving Playboy and Finding Myself.
“She played the victim and implied Hef never gave her anything,” the insider said. “But that’s not true. Hef looked after her more than any other girlfriend.”
Marston spoke about Crystal Hefner and how he thinks she took advantage of Hugh and his fragile state. He said she did this by making some changes to his father’s will.
“If you’re trying to protect your husband, would you let him dramatically change his finances when he’s not there?” Marston asked.
Calling out Crystal’s claim that Hugh didn’t leave her anything, Marston said, “It’s so bizarre. Because it would be easy to say, ‘Thanks, Hugh Hefner, for helping me build this amazing life that I have.’”
