Crystal Hefner, widow of "Playboy" mogul Hugh Hefner, is alleging that the Hugh M. Hefner Foundation possesses thousands of scrapbooks containing lewd photos of women, potentially including underage girls, according to CBS News. The allegations, revealed during a Tuesday news conference, are being pursued through two complaints filed by Hefner's attorney, Gloria Allred.
Allred stated that it remains unclear how the foundation acquired the photos after Hefner's death in 2017. "Crystal Hefner has courageously chosen to speak out on this issue today, not only on her own behalf, but on behalf of thousands of other women and possibly girls who are depicted in the scrapbooks and/or referenced in Hugh Hefner's personal sex diary," CBS News reported.
