I didn't want anybody to know that, 69 00:05:00,778 --> 00:05:02,432 and I'm sitting here telling you; that was my big secret. 70 00:05:07,655 --> 00:05:08,003 I was a good kid. 71 00:05:11,789 --> 00:05:14,618 I started piano when I was seven, and I loved it. 72 00:05:17,404 --> 00:05:18,970 My parents were strict. They made me practice before school and after school, 73 00:05:21,625 --> 00:05:24,672 but I never once wanted to quit. In high school, I focused on my studies. 74 00:05:27,065 --> 00:05:28,676 I was going to become an actress, and I was a Bible school teacher. 75 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:34,682 I was just a really, really good girl that had really high hopes and dreams, and 76 00:05:35,639 --> 00:05:39,295 I pursued them until I met Hef. 77 00:05:43,343 --> 00:05:46,650 When I first went up to the mansion, I really did not know. 78 00:05:48,522 --> 00:05:51,351 I didn't have the concept of who he was. I looked so happy, 79 00:05:51,394 --> 00:05:52,221 but I had no idea what I was walking into. 80 00:05:55,137 --> 00:05:56,921 I told my mother that I was going to Howard Hughes's house, and she said, 81 00:05:59,141 --> 00:06:02,449 he's dead. And I said, well, there's another guy with HH in his name. 82 00:06:02,492 --> 00:06:03,188 And I said, oh yeah, Hugh Hefner. 83 00:06:04,886 --> 00:06:06,583 And they're like, "Oh no, no, no, no, no, don't go there. 84 00:06:06,627 --> 00:06:09,325 Don't go there." But I said, "Mom, 85 00:06:09,369 --> 00:06:11,849 don't be silly." And I went with my high school best friend, and we were going 86 00:06:13,895 --> 00:06:15,679 together, and we were coming home together. That was the deal. 87 00:06:19,030 --> 00:06:20,510 When I first met Hef, he had broken up with Barbi Benton, 88 00:06:23,121 --> 00:06:25,559 and I learned that through the photographs in the hall, the gallery, 89 00:06:27,430 --> 00:06:31,303 that their life looked like magic. I mean, 90 00:06:31,347 --> 00:06:34,742 they have a picture in Gatsby dress with the backdrop of the house, and it 91 00:06:34,785 --> 00:06:36,396 looked like, wow, he really loved her. 92 00:06:39,964 --> 00:06:44,404 And I still didn't understand really that 93 00:06:45,622 --> 00:06:46,580 he was a Playboy. 94 00:06:52,673 --> 00:06:53,413 This is my best friend from high school. 95 00:06:54,805 --> 00:06:56,416 And Bernie was the prettiest girl in high school. 96 00:06:58,505 --> 00:07:03,205 And I was this nerdy little girl with my coronated skirt, my vest, 97 00:07:03,248 --> 00:07:06,774 and even my daughter would say, "Mom, you were such a geek." You know, 98 00:07:06,817 --> 00:07:07,775 she sees my pictures that I was, I was such a geek. 99 00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:13,955 I've never been to a Hollywood party at that point. 100 00:07:15,652 --> 00:07:17,785 It was a big, big deal. 101 00:07:19,003 --> 00:07:20,440 He really knew how to work the charm. 102 00:07:23,007 --> 00:07:24,879 The seduction was fast, and he just really reeled me in that first night 103 00:07:26,968 --> 00:07:28,448 'cause he said, "I've looked the whole party over, 104 00:07:32,190 --> 00:07:34,149 and you're the one I want to spend the evening with. Will you stay?" 105 00:07:37,544 --> 00:07:39,633 Those words alone, "I looked the whole party over, and I'm the one." 106 00:07:40,111 --> 00:07:41,722 And 107 00:07:44,551 --> 00:07:47,597 I couldn't even speak, but I had a smile on my face I guess because he said, 108 00:07:47,641 --> 00:07:49,164 I'll take that smile as a yes. 109 00:07:52,689 --> 00:07:57,085 Just all of it just make me feel special. I was 19, and he was 50, 110 00:08:00,697 --> 00:08:02,351 and I had not been in bed with a man. 111 00:08:05,659 --> 00:08:09,184 His secretary was Joni Mattis. She was a playmate at one point. 112 00:08:12,056 --> 00:08:15,364 He told Joni to make sure I stayed right there so he could find me again. 113 00:08:15,407 --> 00:08:16,104 He had to go say goodnight to his guests. 114 00:08:17,497 --> 00:08:20,456 And then he came back, and he took me upstairs. 115 00:08:27,245 --> 00:08:31,032 Hef was my first real relationship where 116 00:08:33,208 --> 00:08:36,167 it was a real, it was a love affair, and he nurtured that. 117 00:08:38,909 --> 00:08:40,911 And he said to me, he said, 118 00:08:40,955 --> 00:08:43,871 you're the first girl I've liked enough to consider having a baby with. 119 00:08:45,002 --> 00:08:47,004 Reel her in. Oh really? You know? 120 00:08:49,311 --> 00:08:51,052 you like me enough to - out of all these beautiful girls, you would pick me? 121 00:08:51,835 --> 00:08:52,401 He chose me? 122 00:08:55,404 --> 00:08:56,884 He would just take me up his arms, and we'd dance around the game room. 123 00:08:59,277 --> 00:09:02,629 That was his way of being romantic with me. I wasn't wise enough, 124 00:09:02,672 --> 00:09:05,762 I wasn't worldly enough, and my god, he was 50. 125 00:09:05,806 --> 00:09:08,852 He had a wife and children, and I didn't know 126 00:09:09,940 --> 00:09:12,247 about the multiple girlfriends. 127 00:09:14,249 --> 00:09:15,119 He has rules that you're not supposed to be with other men. 128 00:09:15,163 --> 00:09:16,686 I don't agree with his rules. 129 00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:22,736 I feel that the woman has every right to do everything that the man has that 130 00:09:22,779 --> 00:09:23,214 same right to do. 131 00:09:25,565 --> 00:09:28,568 But Hef was brought up in an era where girls do not fool around, guys do. 132 00:09:31,179 --> 00:09:34,095 And you know, I live by that. You're a chauvinist pig, but I love you. 133 00:09:39,100 --> 00:09:43,191 Right after Barbi Benton, he said I want to have, you know, 134 00:09:43,234 --> 00:09:43,452 more than one girlfriend. 135 00:09:45,149 --> 00:09:49,110 He was not gonna have a singular girlfriend anymore, 136 00:09:49,153 --> 00:09:51,025 that he was going to talk about 137 00:09:52,853 --> 00:09:54,202 it openly. 138 00:09:56,073 --> 00:09:58,423 He decided as he would say that he would come out from behind the desk and 139 00:09:59,599 --> 00:10:03,254 live the Playboy life that the magazine 140 00:10:05,126 --> 00:10:06,867 represented. And Hef was the Playboy of the Western world, 141 00:10:08,608 --> 00:10:09,260 Why should he stop at one when he could have 142 00:10:11,959 --> 00:10:12,307 as many as he did? 143 00:10:15,484 --> 00:10:17,442 But how could he make me accept it, or how could he make me join it? 144 00:10:19,706 --> 00:10:22,230 You see our traditional value held that the devil was in the flesh, 145 00:10:25,015 --> 00:10:27,975 that the spirit and mind were pitted against things of the flesh. 146 00:10:30,934 --> 00:10:31,935 We tried to say, this conflict does in existence and shouldn't exist. 147 00:10:34,372 --> 00:10:37,245 He would tell the public even good girls enjoy sex, healthy sex. 148 00:10:39,813 --> 00:10:41,728 And there was nothing healthy about the sex with Hefner 149 00:10:42,859 --> 00:10:44,426 because he took it too far. 150 00:10:51,346 --> 00:10:54,349 He was taking the girl next door, and he was soiling her. 151 00:11:05,490 --> 00:11:08,842 I was living his life, and I wasn't living mine. I wasn't acting anymore. 152 00:11:10,931 --> 00:11:16,458 He stopped me from getting jobs, and he just got worse and 153 00:11:16,501 --> 00:11:19,679 worse as far as the cheating because he could. Not only was he messing around, 154 00:11:21,419 --> 00:11:22,377 he was even controlling me when I was out of his sight. 155 00:11:25,249 --> 00:11:28,383 He hired somebody to spy on me. He hired a secretary my age. 156 00:11:30,777 --> 00:11:33,562 I was 19 when I first started at the mansion. We were all 19. 157 00:11:35,782 --> 00:11:36,870 Sondra was his girlfriend when I first started working there, 158 00:11:39,873 --> 00:11:41,570 but he did have another girl that he kind of dated on Tuesdays and Thursdays. 159 00:11:44,007 --> 00:11:45,574 So one was going out the back gate, and one was coming out the front gate. 160 00:11:47,707 --> 00:11:50,622 I think he was probably worried about what Sondra was going to do on Tuesdays 161 00:11:50,666 --> 00:11:53,408 and Thursdays. What was good for the goose was not good for the gander. 162 00:11:55,366 --> 00:11:58,979 She was not allowed to then date on Tuesdays and Thursdays or have a 163 00:11:59,022 --> 00:12:01,068 relationship of her own on any day. 164 00:12:04,506 --> 00:12:05,899 The next day, he would say, "What'd you guys do last night?" 165 00:12:08,379 --> 00:12:10,599 And innocently at that stage, I would say, "Oh, we had a ball. It was great fun." 166 00:12:11,687 --> 00:12:16,083 But as time sort of went on, 167 00:12:16,126 --> 00:12:19,739 I grew to really love Sondra. I had become a friend now, 168 00:12:21,828 --> 00:12:24,265 so I was no longer comfortable reporting back if you will. 169 00:12:27,616 --> 00:12:29,618 It backfired on me because Lisa and I were so close, 170 00:12:31,098 --> 00:12:31,446 she finally told me one night, she goes, 171 00:12:33,883 --> 00:12:36,625 "I was hired to spy on you and to report everything you did when you were 172 00:12:37,321 --> 00:12:40,107 away from him." 173 00:12:40,150 --> 00:12:41,456 And then she ended up telling him, I can't spy anymore, and I'm not going to do it. 174 00:12:41,499 --> 00:12:42,413 And he kept her on, but 175 00:12:44,372 --> 00:12:45,939 it was pretty creepy. 176 00:12:49,116 --> 00:12:50,291 He just cut me off from the world, really. 177 00:12:55,470 --> 00:13:00,388 And once you were there, it was so big and sometimes so wonderful, 178 00:13:00,431 --> 00:13:04,218 yet you were afraid at times, you didn't want to tell your parents. 179 00:13:04,261 --> 00:13:05,915 There wasn't anybody else left out there that 180 00:13:05,959 --> 00:13:08,091 would understand what you're talking about. 181 00:13:09,832 --> 00:13:11,921 Hef's creation of Playboy was more than just getting 182 00:13:11,965 --> 00:13:14,619 girls to take their clothes off and post nude. 183 00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:20,321 He wanted to create a lifestyle for himself that was 184 00:13:22,671 --> 00:13:25,674 accepted all over the world. I mean, that's pretty glamorous stuff right there. 185 00:13:29,025 --> 00:13:30,505 He would tell me things like, "You're making history. 186 00:13:33,116 --> 00:13:35,075 You're going to be in the history books." This is at the Aliens Ball, I think. 187 00:13:35,597 --> 00:13:36,816 He knew what to say. 188 00:13:39,122 --> 00:13:41,690 He would tell you that our lives are better than most people's fantasies. 189 00:13:44,562 --> 00:13:45,825 Everybody loves each other. We shouldn't be suppressed. 190 00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:48,479 Suppressed is the big word with him. 191 00:13:50,438 --> 00:13:53,876 I was raised in a very typically protestant puritan home with a lot of 192 00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:56,270 repression. 193 00:13:56,313 --> 00:13:58,185 And I think that starting the magazine and the content of the magazine are a 194 00:13:58,228 --> 00:13:59,012 reflection to that. 195 00:14:00,578 --> 00:14:05,061 And I think that the changes that we've played some part in, 196 00:14:05,105 --> 00:14:07,368 in the changing of society, they have also taken place inside of me. 197 00:14:11,328 --> 00:14:12,329 Whenever things would get a little rocky, 198 00:14:13,722 --> 00:14:16,812 he had a way about him to make you feel like you're 199 00:14:16,856 --> 00:14:18,205 the only one in the world for him. 200 00:14:21,469 --> 00:14:24,037 I was his public girlfriend, and the others were just 201 00:14:25,952 --> 00:14:28,737 play toys. He had no real interest in them. 202 00:14:30,391 --> 00:14:32,567 Once that playtime was over - it was addicting. 203 00:14:34,569 --> 00:14:35,396 You knew you were special to be a lady at the mansion; 204 00:14:39,182 --> 00:14:43,230 that was his romantic way, but really, he wasn't very romantic at all. 205 00:14:47,103 --> 00:14:49,062 He just created this illusion like smoke and mirrors. 206 00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:54,067 Month after month after month, there was a new girl every month that came in. 207 00:14:56,286 --> 00:14:57,897 So, I figured out, I might as well be friends with them. 208 00:15:00,334 --> 00:15:02,640 He would say things ,when are you going to party with us? 209 00:15:02,684 --> 00:15:04,729 And I say, "Never.

It's not gonna happen." 211 00:15:10,648 --> 00:15:13,434 It was really awkward for me because I wasn't a lesbian. 212 00:15:16,306 --> 00:15:21,050 Finally one day I just, oh geez, okay. I'll try it once, 213 00:15:21,094 --> 00:15:24,227 and then if I don't like it, never ask me again."

He would never eat dinner with them. 346 00:24:55,145 --> 00:24:56,669 He would smoke a pipe and observe the girls. 347 00:24:58,061 --> 00:25:01,412 When I found out about it, 348 00:25:01,456 --> 00:25:04,154 I went down to bedroom four where I could look out where they were all 349 00:25:05,939 --> 00:25:07,680 laughing and getting drinks and making these girls feel special. 350 00:25:08,768 --> 00:25:10,247 One at a time, 351 00:25:12,075 --> 00:25:15,601 the girls were escorted into the front bathroom where the 352 00:25:15,644 --> 00:25:19,387 doctor would inspect them for anything that would 353 00:25:21,824 --> 00:25:23,347 be detrimental to any of his friends. 354 00:25:24,653 --> 00:25:27,874 The girls that passed mustard would have sex 355 00:25:30,746 --> 00:25:33,227 with the different friends of Hefner. Sometimes on Pig Night, 356 00:25:35,490 --> 00:25:36,230 he had a special woman that came up. 357 00:25:38,493 --> 00:25:42,062 She was called the bleeder, and she would use a very large syringe 358 00:25:44,673 --> 00:25:46,719 and draw blood from his different friends. 359 00:25:50,070 --> 00:25:53,334 And then a girl would come and perform fellatio 360 00:25:53,943 --> 00:25:55,728 or give him a hand job. 361 00:25:58,295 --> 00:25:59,688 And that was a really big thrill for a lot of people. 362 00:26:01,647 --> 00:26:04,388 And especially John Belushi, for some reason, that really turned him on. 363 00:26:06,303 --> 00:26:07,217 I noticed that over time, 364 00:26:09,350 --> 00:26:13,223 these men sort of needed more for that sexual like stimulation. 365 00:26:15,704 --> 00:26:19,142 They needed to try things that were more transgressive because when you can have 366 00:26:19,186 --> 00:26:21,449 anyone you want and do anything, then it becomes boring. 367 00:26:24,017 --> 00:26:25,453 This is the roller skating party, when roller skating was really big. 368 00:26:27,890 --> 00:26:30,589 Nothing was going to ever be enough for him, and I realized that. 369 00:26:30,632 --> 00:26:32,721 It didn't matter how many people you brought in, how many beautiful girls, 370 00:26:32,765 --> 00:26:34,462 whatever it was, 371 00:26:37,683 --> 00:26:40,511 it would only satisfy him for the moment, and it would soon be over, 372 00:26:40,555 --> 00:26:42,426 and then he'd have to find something bigger, better naughtier. 373 00:26:44,733 --> 00:26:46,474 He had too much. He had too much. 374 00:26:50,434 --> 00:26:53,524 It dissolved into this madness. 375 00:26:57,267 --> 00:27:00,749 And I think the madness came from our relationship that he had created where for 376 00:27:00,793 --> 00:27:03,622 the first time, he could openly do these things. 377 00:27:05,536 --> 00:27:09,845 And he found somebody that loved him so much or was so easy 378 00:27:09,889 --> 00:27:11,630 to manipulate that it worked, but 379 00:27:13,806 --> 00:27:14,154 it wasn't enough. 380 00:27:17,070 --> 00:27:21,161 Cocaine became for me my way of blocking it all out. 381 00:27:23,206 --> 00:27:25,165 I could pretend I was somewhere else or I was somebody else. 382 00:27:27,036 --> 00:27:29,343 It didn't hurt me as much. It didn't hurt 383 00:27:31,432 --> 00:27:32,172 while I was doing that, it didn't hurt. 384 00:27:40,136 --> 00:27:41,485 And then I walked in once, and he was 385 00:27:44,227 --> 00:27:46,621 to with our dog. And I said, "What are you doing?" He says, "Well, 386 00:27:46,665 --> 00:27:48,667 dogs have needs." And I went, "Stop that, 387 00:27:50,930 --> 00:27:52,192 just stop that." And I never left them alone with the dog again. 388 00:27:54,629 --> 00:27:56,413 I couldn't believe what I was seeing. I could not believe what I was seeing. 389 00:27:58,459 --> 00:28:01,375 Well, there are some things that will not appear yet in Playboy, hmm, 390 00:28:03,638 --> 00:28:05,205 give an example, beastiality, it's a sexual practice. 391 00:28:08,208 --> 00:28:10,689 Is that a hangup that you won't publish Beastiality? 392 00:28:14,605 --> 00:28:16,042 No, I don't think that's a hangup. I think you have to separate 393 00:28:17,565 --> 00:28:21,221 the kinds of sexual activity that really are degrading. 394 00:28:25,138 --> 00:28:27,401 Joe Piasho, the head of security, was my boyfriend at the time, 395 00:28:29,664 --> 00:28:31,057 he told me a story about Linda Lovelace being brought up there. 396 00:28:34,060 --> 00:28:36,410 Linda Lovelace, she was the star of Deep Throat. 397 00:28:39,065 --> 00:28:40,588 This was probably the biggest pornographic film ever, at least at that point. 398 00:28:43,678 --> 00:28:45,071 Linda Lovelace, she got hooked up with this gassy individual, Chuck Traynor. 399 00:28:47,421 --> 00:28:51,730 Linda was married to Chuck Traynor who pimped her, 400 00:28:51,773 --> 00:28:53,732 who beat her up on a regular basis, threatened to kill her frequently. 401 00:28:55,603 --> 00:28:56,865 And when they arrived at the Playboy Mansion, 402 00:28:57,997 --> 00:29:00,434 she was treated like a piece of meat. 403 00:29:04,481 --> 00:29:08,442 Linda was obliged to take part in an orgy with Hefner's cronies. 404 00:29:09,835 --> 00:29:11,575 When I saw Linda Lovelace, 405 00:29:13,490 --> 00:29:15,449 I definitely did not feel that she was there willingly. 406 00:29:18,887 --> 00:29:21,063 All the guys were laughing when Linda Lovelace got out of the limousine, and she 407 00:29:21,107 --> 00:29:23,762 was drunk and drugged. 408 00:29:26,677 --> 00:29:28,070 And all of a sudden out of nowhere, a German shepherd shows up. 409 00:29:31,944 --> 00:29:34,468 They got her so messed up that they made her give the German shepherd oral sex. 410 00:29:36,992 --> 00:29:40,779 You want to talk about depravity? This is despicable. 411 00:29:45,522 --> 00:29:49,048 When Hef told me what that night had been, he said, yeah, 412 00:29:49,091 --> 00:29:50,658 so we invited her up, and we all watched. 413 00:29:57,056 --> 00:29:59,972 Who does that? Who does that? Who'd want to see that? 414 00:30:02,409 --> 00:30:06,152 The Linda Lovelace episode exemplifies the attitude of Playboy and 415 00:30:07,109 --> 00:30:07,980 Hefner to women by and large. 416 00:30:10,286 --> 00:30:12,506 This is the dark underbelly of Playboy. 417 00:30:15,901 --> 00:30:19,905 It's all very well espousing liberal causes and talking about the joys of 418 00:30:19,948 --> 00:30:21,994 life, freedom and sexual liberation, 419 00:30:25,084 --> 00:30:26,999 except it boils down to watch 420 00:30:29,653 --> 00:30:30,002 a girl have sex with an animal. 421 00:30:33,744 --> 00:30:34,180 Just gastly. 422 00:30:37,052 --> 00:30:41,013 I can't believe that I am that girl that accepted that world. 423 00:30:45,452 --> 00:30:50,500 He just took my world, and he just turned the knobs slowly so that 424 00:30:50,544 --> 00:30:54,156 everything came out of focus and the only thing I could see was what he told me. 425 00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:04,340 He had to get more and more. I've never known anybody had to have that much sex, 426 00:31:04,384 --> 00:31:06,473 but then when it got uglier and uglier with, you know, 427 00:31:06,516 --> 00:31:08,736 bringing men into the bedroom, and I couldn't. 428 00:31:11,652 --> 00:31:13,959 No drug could have made me escape far enough, 429 00:31:14,002 --> 00:31:15,874 and I didn't want to be with another 430 00:31:15,917 --> 00:31:17,745 man. I certainly did not want to be with another man. 431 00:31:20,356 --> 00:31:24,230 Hef became that obsessed with it. I mean, yeah, 432 00:31:26,145 --> 00:31:28,887 you could see it in this face. It didn't matter how it made me feel. 433 00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:31,715 It didn't matter. 434 00:31:34,109 --> 00:31:38,548 And sometimes it was painful. Men that 435 00:31:41,377 --> 00:31:43,902 forced themselves on you, it doesn't feel good. It hurts. 436 00:31:45,904 --> 00:31:48,080 And I would tell him that, please, don't, please. 437 00:31:50,299 --> 00:31:52,780 I would use those words. He hurts me. It didn't matter. 438 00:31:59,743 --> 00:32:04,270 I felt so violated having a man that I did not want to be with forced upon me. 439 00:32:06,620 --> 00:32:08,622 And the feeling that made me feel inside was just sick, 440 00:32:10,363 --> 00:32:11,930 the fact that my boyfriend was okay with that. 441 00:32:15,890 --> 00:32:19,459 There were guys up there that ended up in situations that they didn't want to be in. 442 00:32:21,069 --> 00:32:25,769 It became apparent that they have had more interest than 443 00:32:25,813 --> 00:32:28,076 I thought in John Dante. He wanted to sleep with him. 444 00:32:30,035 --> 00:32:33,603 When Hef would make advances on Dante, I could 445 00:32:33,647 --> 00:32:36,128 just see Dante's face just fall. And the dread, 446 00:32:37,825 --> 00:32:40,654 the dread like I would feel. And he knew he couldn't stop it. 447 00:32:45,746 --> 00:32:50,490 There were certain girls that I was very close to that I would call crying, 448 00:32:50,533 --> 00:32:52,492 and I would say, please come up, please come up so I don't have to do this. 449 00:32:54,189 --> 00:32:57,714 And they would, they would come up for me. And I felt, 450 00:32:57,758 --> 00:33:00,500 at least I was with a friend, and I was asking a lot of them, 451 00:33:04,025 --> 00:33:05,679 but they would come up, and that helped me get through it. 452 00:33:07,376 --> 00:33:09,335 I found Solace in them, the women, they were gentle. 453 00:33:11,598 --> 00:33:12,512 I needed gentleness. I needed love. 454 00:33:15,384 --> 00:33:20,041 At least I had the beauty and the tenderness with a girl that I couldn't 455 00:33:20,085 --> 00:33:23,523 get from him. I remember being in the office, talking to Mary, 456 00:33:23,566 --> 00:33:25,525 crying to Mary saying, "I'm so tired. I'm so tired. 457 00:33:28,049 --> 00:33:29,137 Why can't he just make a couple nights normal?" And again, 458 00:33:33,315 --> 00:33:34,012 well, if you're not going to do it, somebody else will. 459 00:33:36,666 --> 00:33:39,321 No, I could not, not feel well. I had to be there. I had to feel good. 460 00:33:40,409 --> 00:33:42,672 I had to be ready for anything. 461 00:33:47,460 --> 00:33:50,202 On the first day of my job as a valet, 462 00:33:52,204 --> 00:33:56,730 I went upstairs to the bedroom. I heard a lot of crying and moaning. 463 00:33:58,297 --> 00:34:02,692 So I went into the bathroom, and Sondra was on 464 00:34:02,736 --> 00:34:04,738 the floor, crying, and there was a lot of blood everywhere. 465 00:34:07,567 --> 00:34:09,308 I'd gone to the gynecologist, and I didn't want to be on the pill. 466 00:34:12,137 --> 00:34:15,053 And so my doctor said, "Well, we can put an IUD in." What's an IUD? 467 00:34:17,359 --> 00:34:20,362 "Well, you know, it's up there, and it does the work, and it's done. 468 00:34:20,406 --> 00:34:21,059 You don't have to think about it." I think, well, that's perfect. 469 00:34:21,102 --> 00:34:22,538 So he put it in me. 470 00:34:24,932 --> 00:34:25,541 She had bled all over the bed, 471 00:34:28,588 --> 00:34:29,415 and then she came into the bathroom, and Mr. Hefner, 472 00:34:31,286 --> 00:34:32,374 he got angry with her for not taking care of herself. 473 00:34:35,203 --> 00:34:36,422 And he goes, why would you do such a stupid thing? See, I wasn't being fun now. 474 00:34:38,772 --> 00:34:40,600 She was bleeding, and she was crying. And Mr. Hefner said, 475 00:34:42,602 --> 00:34:43,603 I don't really want to know your medical problems. 476 00:34:45,822 --> 00:34:48,956 I was just dying. It was hurting so bad I could barely take it, and 477 00:34:50,871 --> 00:34:53,613 I guess I passed out. One other time, 478 00:34:56,050 --> 00:34:58,444 four years into the relationship, I suddenly got really, really sick. 479 00:35:00,272 --> 00:35:02,970 The pain was so severe I could hardly walk, and it was my kidneys. 480 00:35:04,450 --> 00:35:06,930 And it was just excruciating. 481 00:35:09,585 --> 00:35:11,805 I remember when Sondra was sick with a kidney infection. 482 00:35:13,676 --> 00:35:16,984 I do think that her illness was in direct relationship to partying 483 00:35:18,507 --> 00:35:19,639 and also sheer exhaustion. 484 00:35:21,728 --> 00:35:23,599 I should have been in the hospital, but if he had sent me to the hospital, 485 00:35:26,472 --> 00:35:27,473 then there might have been questions why I was so sick. 486 00:35:29,214 --> 00:35:29,475 He didn't want any of that leaked. 487 00:35:34,262 --> 00:35:37,657 I was tired, and it was not just a body, 488 00:35:39,224 --> 00:35:41,008 it was a mind too. I felt that it was both being stripped, 489 00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:47,319 used and swallowed up. It was just, he was eating me inside out. 490 00:35:48,929 --> 00:35:50,148 A kid who has a sweet tooth, who is thrust into a candy store 491 00:35:54,804 --> 00:35:56,806 and discovers that he is going to live in that candy store for the rest of his life, 492 00:35:59,940 --> 00:36:02,334 starts after a little while thinking about other things besides candy. 493 00:36:05,859 --> 00:36:06,338 When you're dealing with someone who's so 494 00:36:10,037 --> 00:36:13,693 self-centered and so manipulative, 495 00:36:14,955 --> 00:36:16,522 and she was so young and he was so not, 496 00:36:19,525 --> 00:36:20,308 he couldn't have had these relationships with a grown ass woman. 497 00:36:20,352 --> 00:36:23,398 Let's be very honest here. 498 00:36:23,442 --> 00:36:24,356 He could not have had these kind of relationships with an adult. 499 00:36:26,445 --> 00:36:30,492 And that's why they had to keep being young for him to be their first. 500 00:36:34,844 --> 00:36:38,544 He asked me, he said, "Do you like snuff films?" I said, 501 00:36:38,587 --> 00:36:41,024 "What's a snuff film?" And he said, "Well, it's a porn where 502 00:36:43,592 --> 00:36:45,986 in the end, they kill the girl, 503 00:36:46,029 --> 00:36:49,555 and that's the big orgasm." Like, who would watch that? 504 00:36:53,733 --> 00:36:57,737 And my reaction told him very clearly that he was not going down that highway with me. 505 00:36:58,564 --> 00:37:00,740 I thought, who- 506 00:37:02,742 --> 00:37:04,222 how could he like this? And how could I care for him? 507 00:37:06,746 --> 00:37:07,225 What kind of mind 508 00:37:10,706 --> 00:37:14,884 is so far gone that it takes killing somebody to get them 509 00:37:14,928 --> 00:37:16,234 excited for that big release? 510 00:37:18,801 --> 00:37:22,240 He was opening my eyes to this monster. I mean, really, he was a monster. 511 00:37:41,171 --> 00:37:44,784 To me, that last year I was turning 25, and my fears had 512 00:37:48,396 --> 00:37:52,574 started to affect me. I'd actually shake sometimes. I dreaded it every night. 513 00:37:52,618 --> 00:37:54,141 I knew that something was going to be expected of me, 514 00:37:55,751 --> 00:37:56,970 but the person that had run from the room, 515 00:37:58,188 --> 00:38:00,800 I think there were about 12 people up there, 516 00:38:03,890 --> 00:38:05,979 12 people. And that's when I look, I couldn't find myself, 517 00:38:08,111 --> 00:38:08,590 who am I? 518 00:38:11,637 --> 00:38:15,031 With all these limbs and arms and legs, 519 00:38:15,075 --> 00:38:17,164 and I'm thinking this is so awful. 520 00:38:18,513 --> 00:38:20,123 And so, I walked out 521 00:38:23,692 --> 00:38:24,476 and went to the one place I knew that people didn't know about, 522 00:38:28,654 --> 00:38:31,744 the grassy knoll on top of the jacuzzi where you could lay up there privately. 523 00:38:31,787 --> 00:38:32,179 And I just laid there under the stars. 524 00:38:37,184 --> 00:38:39,012 You're thinking that he couldn't find me up there. 525 00:38:44,234 --> 00:38:48,021 My life is him, and being there with him, I was turning 25. 526 00:38:50,110 --> 00:38:51,851 I remember looking in the mirror, looking in my eyes, thinking, where are you? 527 00:38:53,113 --> 00:38:55,333 Where are you? I wasn't there. 528 00:38:58,466 --> 00:39:00,860 I really changed a lot from 19 to 21. 529 00:39:01,948 --> 00:39:03,341 Everything changed about me. 530 00:39:04,342 --> 00:39:07,170 I go from being so fresh and young, 531 00:39:08,433 --> 00:39:09,695 and then that emaciated, 532 00:39:11,958 --> 00:39:16,223 terrorized girl that I might as well have been a vibrator. 533 00:39:16,266 --> 00:39:17,050 I might as well have been a sex toy because that's what I was. 534 00:39:22,838 --> 00:39:24,492 And nobody knew the hell I was in. 535 00:39:27,321 --> 00:39:28,540 And finally, I got the courage 536 00:39:31,543 --> 00:39:32,370 to leave. 537 00:39:34,850 --> 00:39:38,724 I had such great life when I entered those gates. I was so full of hope. 538 00:39:40,508 --> 00:39:41,379 I was riding a star. And when I left, 539 00:39:42,684 --> 00:39:45,078 I was on a burning meteorite to earth. 540 00:39:46,471 --> 00:39:46,906 I was hitting the ground hard. 541 00:39:48,864 --> 00:39:54,609 I wanted to be able to go and leave that all behind and find some 542 00:39:54,653 --> 00:39:59,266 normalness. I tried really hard to make it normal. It was all okay. 543 00:39:59,309 --> 00:40:00,528 I'm out of there. I survived it. I'm married, I've got children, 544 00:40:01,355 --> 00:40:02,922 my life is good, 545 00:40:05,838 --> 00:40:09,755 but it was affecting me, and it affected my marriage. 546 00:40:09,798 --> 00:40:11,931 It affected me every day. I don't know what normal is. 547 00:40:15,151 --> 00:40:18,590 You know, I lived a luxury life, yeah, but I paid dearly for it. 548 00:40:20,461 --> 00:40:25,248 I had so much damage done to me that I will never know how to be a 549 00:40:25,292 --> 00:40:27,773 normal person and to accept love as a normal person. 550 00:40:30,384 --> 00:40:31,951 I will never believe that a man would love me now because I'm old, 551 00:40:33,953 --> 00:40:38,044 I'm older, and that's just, nothing can convince me. 552 00:40:38,087 --> 00:40:41,134 Nothing can convince me that I'm a desirable to anybody now. 553 00:40:43,484 --> 00:40:45,791 I'd like to think that one day I'll meet my soulmate. 554 00:40:48,750 --> 00:40:51,274 I can't let go of that need, a need to just be loved just for yourself. 555 00:40:53,276 --> 00:40:56,062 You know, not for what you're going to do for somebody. I may never know that, 556 00:40:56,105 --> 00:40:57,455 but maybe in the next life, I don't know. 557 00:41:00,458 --> 00:41:03,461 They zapped this young girl - where am I? They zapped this girl, 558 00:41:07,726 --> 00:41:10,816 away, she was gone. And all he did was take and take and take that. 559 00:41:12,861 --> 00:41:15,821 He zapped it right out me. And how dare did he do that? 560 00:41:17,344 --> 00:41:18,998 I was the best thing that ever walked into his life. 561 00:41:22,349 --> 00:41:27,354 But anyway, I'm so sorry I fell apart, so sorry. 562 00:41:32,272 --> 00:41:34,143 So it wasn't all glam and pokes. It wasn't all fun and games. 563 00:41:38,365 --> 00:41:39,366 I knew I wasn't. 564 00:41:43,631 --> 00:41:45,024 Drop back any point in time, take anybody from any point in time, 565 00:41:46,895 --> 00:41:50,769 you have one dinner. I wouldn't be at a dinner, but I mean, 566 00:41:50,812 --> 00:41:53,554 there's certainly people that you'd like to talk to one-on-one and such and find 567 00:41:53,598 --> 00:41:56,035 out what it was all about. I'd certainly like to talk to Christ, 568 00:41:56,078 --> 00:41:58,037 find out what that was all about. - Would he like your act? 569 00:42:00,082 --> 00:42:02,694 Probably. Probably be a little confusing to him, but I would imagine so. Yeah. 570 00:42:02,737 --> 00:42:05,174 D you think he'd be confusing to you? No, I don't think so, 571 00:42:05,218 --> 00:42:07,742 our values are probably very similar. Yeah. 572 00:42:07,786 --> 00:42:09,222 He forgave the whores. 573 00:42:44,126 --> 00:42:45,737 This is the time for women to be able to express themselves. 574 00:42:48,087 --> 00:42:50,916 I believed in the pitch because I had not seen the future. 575 00:42:52,265 --> 00:42:53,483 I had dreams of going up the corporate ladder. 576 00:42:55,311 --> 00:42:58,401 They pushed that ceiling right back into my face. 577 00:42:58,445 --> 00:42:59,446 You're never going to believe what I found in the garage. 578 00:43:01,753 --> 00:43:06,758 All of the complaints and the sexual assaults, every thing is on there. 579 00:43:08,107 --> 00:43:11,937 It was rampant with the sexual abuse of women. 580 00:43:11,980 --> 00:43:12,894 Playboy was a business, and I was part of it. 581 00:43:15,375 --> 00:43:17,769 I began hating myself.
