Crystal Hefner: Objectification, control, and Playboy

Sobre este episódio

<p>The Playboy mansion was supposed to be a place of freedom, expression and empowerment for Crystal Hefner, but it turned out to be the total opposite. As one of the girlfriends – and then wife – of Hugh Hefner, she had to be seen and not heard.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>In this chat with Fearne, Crystal explains how living in the Playboy mansion saw her pitted against other women and picked apart for her appearance. Recognising the financial abuse in particular, she began saving her own money, which eventually created a foundation from which to rebuild her life, and self-worth, when Hef died.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Fearne and Crystal also chat about how to start discovering what you like, and what makes you happy, after previously living for other people. Plus, how to move away from feeling your self worth hinges on your appearance.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Crystal’s book, Only Say Good Things: Surviving Playboy and Finding Myself, is out now.</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
