Former Playboy Mansion resident Jennifer Saginor has slammed Crystal Hefner for claiming in her new memoir that she was “trapped” in her marriage to Hugh Hefner and accusing the model of “playing the victim.”
Crystal's explosive book Only Say Good Things: Surviving Playboy and Finding Myself was released earlier this week, and in it the 37-year-old made a number of explosive claims, including that she never loved the late magazine boss.
The blonde beauty also shockingly admitted several times that she felt trapped in their four-year marriage, which ended with his death on September 27, 2017 at the age of 91.
However, Crystal's claims were contradicted by Jennifer, the daughter of Hugh's personal physician and best friend Dr. Mark Saginor, firmly rejected, believing that the former bunny has “decided” to stay with him.
Former Playboy Mansion resident Jennifer Saginor has denied Crystal Hefner's claims, accusing her of “playing the victim.”
Crystal and Hugh, pictured together in 2014, were husband and wife for almost five years
Jennifer took direct aim at Crystal, telling exclusively: “Take off your bunny ears.” Stop promoting a brand and image that you claim you are a victim of. It's inconsistent.'
She continued, “She chose to be there and go back.” She plays the victim card, and that takes away from the actual victims of sexual abuse.
“I was there for four decades and she was there for seven years. Crystal knew what she was getting into. She was paid for her services.
“She has promoted the brand and continues to promote the brand. “After making millions of dollars, she said she was held against her will.”
Jennifer, who Hugh referred to as her “uncle”, spent her childhood in the infamous LA party venue and had her own room in the 29-bedroom mansion from the age of 12.
She has claimed that Crystal published several falsehoods in her memoir.
Crystal revealed that during her marriage she found “girls” for sex orgies with herself and the late magazine mogul.
She described how Hugh liked to have “at least five girls” at the same time when they got intimate in the bedroom.

Jennifer's father Dr. Mark Saginor (pictured left) served as Hugh's personal physician. She has spoken openly about how she believes they were “lovers.”
The pin-up, who married the magazine publisher when she was 26 and he was 86 in 2012, wrote: “After the twins.” [Kristina and Karissa Shannon] When I was gone, it became my job to help find girls to come into the bedroom with at parties in the villa or on an increasingly rare night out.
“That was one of the main reasons we went out in the first place: so Hef could find fresh girls.”
She continued, “Sometimes Hef brought it to someone's attention.” Other times, I chose. He liked having at least five girls and I knew what he liked. It was actually a relief to have other women in the bedroom with me and not have to have sex with him all alone. If these other girls did it, I didn't have to do it.
“And there were always so many girls in Hugh Hefner's bed, clinging to me at every party, desperate to be chosen.” I felt torn – part of me wanted to reject her for her own good. But I also knew someone was coming, so it might as well be someone who really wanted to go.
“I trusted them to make their own decisions about their bodies as adults, but I also felt responsible for making the whole experience exciting for them.” “Or if not exciting, then at least not so awkward.”
Addressing the candid memory, Jennifer said, “Admitting that she recruited women to bring them to Hef… she admits that she put girls in harm's way and then profited from it.”
The 37-year-old caused quite a stir in her memoirs, including saying that she never loved the late magazine boss
Jennifer, who referred to Hefner as her “uncle” as a child, claimed that Crystal told several untruths in her memoir
“Crystal is trying to monopolize and monetize a dead man who gave her everything she wanted until he couldn't give any more – and now she keeps taking.”
Jennifer previously spoke openly about her father's close relationship with Hefner and how she perceived them as lovers.
In the documentary “Secrets of Playboy,” she said, “My dad and Hef had a spiritual connection that I don't think any of those wives or girlfriends could ever compete with.”
“Their friendship was next level, so to speak. They were like soulmates.”
Jennifer continued in the film: “They've come really far.” They became more than just best friends. they were [lovers].'
In her memoir, Crystal spoke about feeling trapped in her marriage to Hugh.
Crystal wrote in her memoir that it was “hard to imagine life without Hugh,” even though she felt trapped by him
“I felt trapped in the villa, trapped in my role as caretaker, but I also didn’t want to lose him,” she wrote.
“He was a huge, outsized presence in my life.” He towered over everything. “It was hard to imagine life without him.”
In a recent interview with , she revealed that she never had sex with her late husband alone during their marriage, which lasted from 2012 until his death.
The model also made it clear that she didn't enjoy the group sex encounters with her husband and the other women.
Jennifer isn't the only former employee of the late mogul who has enlisted Crystal for her memoir.
Kimberley Conrad, 61, who was married to Hugh from 1989 to 2010, also accused her of trying to “make a quick buck” with the book.
In a statement to TMZ, she said: “While some people express their version of events in the hopes of riding the wave of headline relevance and making a quick buck, we should all ask ourselves if we want to live in a world. “ “An environment in which people refuse to take responsibility and use words like “force” and “survive” to describe decisions they made voluntarily at some point in their own lives.
