Crystal Hefner, widow of Playboy founder Hugh Hefner, called comedian Jon Lovitz one of Hollywood’s biggest pervs
during an October 27 appearance on the Lisa Guerrero Unleashed podcast. Hefner alleged the Saturday Night Live alum acted as a lurker
toward women while frequently visiting the Playboy Mansion.
I remember him. Every time, every party,
Crystal Hefner told the podcast, branding the 69-year-old actor the mansion’s No. 1 customer
. The 40-year-old model claims Lovitz was a fixture at the Los Angeles estate’s parties.
Hefner stated that his eyes would go front to back looking at every woman who entered the door.
Lovitz and Hefner Clash Over Money
The pair became embroiled in an explosive Instagram feud in July after Hefner posted a video reflecting on her marriage to the late mogul. Lovitz responded with aggressive questions, challenging her to disclose if she regretted the house Hefner bought for her or the money she kept after selling it.
Do you regret the house he bought for you to live in, after his death? And keeping the money, after you sold it? And all the times your mother was at the mansion? And do you regret all he did for you? And do you regret leaving him and then coming back to marry him?

Hefner told the Daily Mail that reducing her marriage to financial gain was misleading. People often reduce my marriage to assumptions about financial benefit, but that overlooks the reality of what I experienced,
she stated, adding that her reflections were based on honesty rather than resentment or money.
Jon Lovitz called her out once for shitting on Hef after he died, asking her if she regretted all the money he left her. So she decided to invent bullshit about him as women are prone to do
During her podcast appearance, Hefner noted that Lovitz had been completely attacked
by social media users for his comments. She recalled users questioning whether a husband buying a spouse something meant they can assault you or hurt you?
Hefner Details Abuse at the Mansion
Hefner described her marriage to Hugh Hefner—which lasted from 2012 until his death in September 2017—as emotionally abusive and traumatic. She claimed she was effectively brainwashed
throughout their five-year union during the No One Asked Her podcast in August.
The pair first met at a Halloween party in 2008 when she was a 21-year-old psychology student and he was 81. She eventually became a playmate and appeared in the final season of the reality show The Girls Next Door. They married on New Year’s Eve in 2012, when she was 26 and he was 86. She was his third wife, following Mildred Williams (married 1949-1959) and Kimberley Conrad (married 1989-2010). The couple remained married until Hefner died at age 91 in September 2017.
During the Lisa Guerrero Unleashed episode, Hefner suggested she had been raped by Hugh Hefner. She also alleged the founder routinely attempted to force twins Karissa and Kristina Shannon to participate in sexual acts with each other, which she labeled disgusting
.
I do believe that I did whatever he wanted me to do. And if that involved sex, then I just did what he wanted me to do. There were times that were really uncomfortable for me in the bedroom. In the bedroom things would happen that ended up just not being OK.

In her 2024 memoir, Only Say Good Things: Surviving Playboy and Finding Myself
, she detailed attempts by Hefner to control her weight and wardrobe. She has confessed she was never in love
with him and has accused the late publisher of harassment and incest
.
Other Stars Frequent the Estate
Hefner claims Hugh Hefner was obsessed with fame and treated any celebrity visitor with extreme care. While Lovitz is framed as a lurker, Jack Nicholson treated the estate like a drive-thru
, frequently stopping by to grab food or other items before leaving.
Nicholson’s daughter, Lorraine, spoke about her childhood spent at the mansion playing with Hefner’s sons, Marston and Cooper. In a 2024 Vanity Fair essay, Lorraine clarified that she was brought to the property by her nanny, a former social secretary for Hefner, rather than her father.

Lovitz has not publicly commented on these latest allegations, though he attended the couple’s wedding in 2012.
