Crystal first met Hefner when she was only 21, and he was 81. According to Crystal, their first night together was “unremarkable.”
“Whatever you would like, whatever you would think, or however you would want a night to go, well, it wasn’t that,” she said in her book that’s set to arrive in stores in January 2024.
Despite the less-than-exciting first night and claims of Hefner controlling every facet of her life, Crystal paid tribute to the Playboy founder, who passed away at the age of 91 after suffering cardiac arrest while battling E. coli in 2017.
“I will feel eternally grateful to have been by his side, holding his hand, and telling him how much I love him,” she said at the time of his death.
