The former wife of Hugh Hefner, Kimberly, is defending the Playboy founder against the onslaught from his widow Crystal, suggesting that she is only criticizing him to make money.
Kimberly, who was married to Hef from 1989 to 2010 and had two children with him, tells TMZ that Crystal, from her perspective, has no credibility and claims that it was actually she who was exploiting Hef while he was still alive, not the other way around.
As we’ve reported, Crystal has a new memoir about her marriage to Hef and her life at the Playboy Mansion, and has thrown a lot of shade at both experiences, calling their relationship toxic and saying she felt trapped.
But Kimberly is firing back on behalf of her ex-husband, saying, “While a few individuals give their version of events in hopes of riding a wave of headlines and making quick money, we should all ask ourselves if we want to live in an environment where people refuse to take responsibility and use vague words like ‘forced’ and ‘survived’ to describe decisions that were voluntarily made at a certain point in their lives.” Ouch, that’s harsh!
