Podcasts about Hefner

What happens when the fairy tale turns out to be a gilded cage? In part two this raw and revealing exploration, we continue our conversation about Crystal Hefner's memoir "Only Say Good Things" alongside Holly Madison's "Down the Rabbit Hole" to uncover the dark reality behind the Playboy Mansion's glamorous façade. The conversation peels back layers of manipulation, control, and psychological erosion that defined life for Hugh Hefner's girlfriends. Despite the surface-level luxuries—weekly allowances, on-demand meals, and leisure time—both women describe a suffocating environment of strict curfews, surveillance, and emotional abuse. "It was an invisible trap framed by the language of choice," Crystal writes, capturing how even their apparent freedom was an illusion. Brett and I thoughtfully explore the complexity of these women's experiences, wrestling with challenging questions: Why didn't they just leave? What kept them returning? How do we reconcile their agency with the manipulation they faced? Through this nuanced discussion, we try to understand how gradually these women lost their sense of identity and worth outside the mansion's walls—to the point where both became suicidal and required medication for depression. Crystal's journey—escaping, returning, marrying Hefner, and finally finding herself after his death—ultimately offers hope. "I used to only say good things, but now I say whatever I want," she concludes, reclaiming her voice after years of silence. Her story reminds us that true freedom isn't about material luxury but about maintaining your identity, even in the most golden of cages. Join us for this powerful conversation about power dynamics, self-worth, and the courage it takes to finally tell your truth.Subscribe now to hear the full episode and support women's stories being told in their own words.Listener discretion advised: this episode includes adult language and discussion about sexual abuse and traumaSupport the show:On Patreon Buy us a book Buy cute merch If you have any comments or questions, please connect with me on Instagram or email babesinbooklandpodcast@gmail.com.

Hugh Hefner was the founder and editor-in-chief of Playboy magazine, a publication with revealing photographs and articles. Hefner extended the Playboy brand into a world network of Playboy Clubs. He also resided in luxury mansions where Playboy Playmates shared his wild partying life, fueling media interest. He was viewed by most of the world as a progressive in the feminist sexual revolution, but what about the dark underbelly of his fantasy empire? Walk with Joel down the dark tunnels beneath the Playboy Mansion to uncover the mind control secrets of Hugh Hefner. He looks into the secret “mini-mansions” where Hefner's associates ran knockoff versions of Hugh's mansion, but with even darker consequences for the women invited to them. He then unravels the connection between Hugh Hefner and the mysterious MK-Ultra Monarch Programming with playmates tied to Brice Taylor author of the tell all book, “Thanks for the Memories”. Lastly, Joel digs into police reports implicating Bill Cosby and Hugh Hefner to suicide and underage activity that reveals who Hefner really was all along.

Crystal Hefner's memoir "Only Say Good Things" takes us behind the glittering façade of the Playboy Mansion into a world of manipulation, trauma, and ultimately, self-discovery. Brett joins me to unpack this raw, unflinching account that exposes the dark reality of Hugh Hefner's empire and the psychological toll it took on the women within it.Our conversation doesn't shy away from difficult truths. We explore how Crystal's early trauma—losing her father at age 12 and experiencing multiple sexual assaults—created patterns that made her vulnerable to manipulation. "I wanted a mother, but she wanted a new man," Crystal writes about her mother's response to grief, setting the stage for a lifetime of seeking validation from men. Her journey from a self-destructive 22-year-old to Hugh Hefner's girlfriend and eventually his wife reveals how easily vulnerable young women were pulled into this predatory environment.What makes this discussion particularly compelling is how it compares Crystal's experiences with those of Holly Madison from "Down the Rabbit Hole." The similarities are striking: both women entered believing they had power in the relationship, only to discover they were being systematically broken down and controlled. We examine how Hefner created a competitive environment among his girlfriends, using their insecurities to maintain control while presenting a sanitized version of his life to the public through shows like "The Girls Next Door."The memoir challenges us to question broader cultural issues around sexual exploitation, consent, and the way society often blames victims rather than confronting predatory behavior. In part one, as Brett and I discuss Crystal's early years up until that fateful night she attended the Halloween party at the  mansion when her life changed forever.Join us for this thought-provoking two-part conversation that goes beyond celebrity gossip to examine the psychological impact of exploitation and the long, complex path to reclaiming one's identity and worth. This is more than just a memoir review—it's a window into how trauma shapes our choices and how even the most broken paths can eventually lead to healing.Listener discretion advised: this episode includes adult language and discussion about sexual abuse and traumaSupport the show:On Patreon Buy us a book Buy cute merch If you have any comments or questions, please connect with me on Instagram or email babesinbooklandpodcast@gmail.com.

He also resided in luxury mansions where Playboy Playmates shared his wild partying life, fueling media interest. He was viewed by most of the world as a progressive in the feminist sexual revolution, but what about the dark underbelly of his fantasy empire? Joel takes a deep dive on the life and times of Hugh Hefner and his life being an early mirror to what Jeffrey Epstein soon became. He looks at the "Secrets of Playboy" documentary and the many eye witnesses who came forward after Hugh's death and what their testimonies mean to the legacy of the multi-million dollar man. Then he looks at Hugh's early years forming the playboy empire, the VIP clubs and the clean up crews involved in hiding drugs and assault from the authorities. Finally, Joel digs into Hugh's occult connections to the god Pan and even Nephilim bloodlines that could span all the way back to the Mayflower.

Daydrianna Hefner is a Cherokee County, Georgia, mother of two who had a history of substance abuse, evident by a string of mugshots from years ago.Hefner's addiction led to prison and intervention from the Georgia Department of Human Services Division of Family and Children Services (DFCS), which placed her two kids in foster care in October 2021.While behind bars, Hefner decided to get sober. “I needed to get arrested to have that long clear frame of mind,” she said, and today cites her sobriety date as May 28, 2022.When she was released, Hefner agreed to a DFCS case plan to get her children back, which included random drug screens. But now Hefner said some of the results make no sense, arguing “the department is saying I failed drug screens and I know I haven't used any drugs.“I don't know what to do and feel helpless.”Read the full story here: https://www.atlantanewsfirst.com/2024/11/14/georgias-contracted-drug-labs-under-scrutiny-over-alleged-false-positives/

Hugh Hefner was the founder of Playboy Magazine. He was not just the publisher, he was the visionary who changed the landscape of media, sexuality, and lifestyle. His career spanned over six decades. Hef helped to bring about sexual liberation, creating a brand that became a global phenomenon. In the 70s I was invited to the Playboy Mansion in Chicago. Hugh was introducing his girlfriend Barbi Benton's new album. It was a wild party. Beside Barbi Benton, Elton John was there so I had very little time to visit with Hefner. In that couple of minutes he explained how he put together his first Playboy Magazine cover, featuring Marilyn Monroe.

Heffner is a contemporary alternative indie band living here in Athens, GA. It began with members Taylor Cotton and Reagan Byrd, high school pals moving to Athens to go to school. They started playing with several bands around town. Wanting a band of their own, they knew if they started building a band, other members would come, and they did! Soon after one by one band members McKendrick Bearden, Will and Lars Heffner, and Tommy Trautwein joined the band.Their sophomore album, “Perfect Heaven,” catapulted them into regional success and the new “darlings” of Athens. With the release of their latest single “Truck,” Heffner exposes how their songwriting has grown and how their unique blend of melodic riffs, and style combines elements of alternative rock with influences from Folk and Pop. Taylor Cotton came on AthCastMusic and spoke about the nuances of the band, how he is the wrangler and how much fun they are having touring and playing here in Athens.Here is my conversation with Taylor Cotton..Show AthCastMusic (©): The Music of Athens Georgia, Now and Then.SHOW TITLE: Here come Taylor Cotton Jumping down the Heffner trail (unofficial Heffner Band)SEASON: 3 Episode 24Length: 35:42PUBLISHED: Oct 3, 2024Updated Weekly on ThursdayEngineer: Kayla DoverRecorded at Tweed Recording Audio Production Schoolhttps://tweedrecording.comINSTAGRAM: UNOFFICIALHEFFNERBANDhttps://heffner.bandcamp.com/CONTACT FOR ATHCASTMUSIC:instagram: AthCastMusicFaceBook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61550294283019

Hun håbede, at det ville forsvinde ud i glemslen. At pinup-billedet, hvor hun ligger nøgen på et rødt klæde og kigger forførerisk ind i kameraet, aldrig ville komme tilbage og hjemsøge hende. Men så købte Hugh Hefner det, puttede det i sit nye magasin 'Playboy' og byggede sit imperium på det. Uden at Marilyn Monroe vidste besked. Frem til sin død havde Hefner en guldindrammet original hængende i sit hjem i The Playboy Mansion, men nu har den danske kunstner Maja Malou Lyse købt det og udstillet det i København. Dagens Genstart tager med hende til auktionen i Hollywood i hendes forsøg på at redde Marilyn Monroe ud af Hugh Hefners favn. Vært: Simon Stefanski. Program publiceret i DR Lyd d. 10/9.

 The last time I ran into renowned book scholar Jonathan Rose (at a SHARP conference) he mentioned that he was doing some work on Playboy magazine. ‘Way more women readers than you'd expect!' he told me. Rose is an accomplished author.

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. 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. 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. Crystal's book, Only Say Good Things: Surviving Playboy and Finding Myself, is out now. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
