Right, like we thought you married him because you loved him and not for the money. 
Why even admit it, so we'll make it official that you're a gold digger?? Like Anna Nicole smith marrying Howard Marshall II when he was 89.
Crystal Hefner, Kendra Wilkinson and Holly Madison lived a strange life of decadence and fantasy while living at the Playboy Mansion in the last years of Playboy founder Hugh Hefner's life.
And while Hefner once requested his now-widow Crystal "only say good things about me," seven years after his death, his former wife and girlfriends are speaking out about the reality of life behind those gilded gates.
Crystal, 37, who married Hefner in 2012 and stayed with him until his death at 91 in 2017, revealed to People magazine this week that while she loved the magazine founder, she was never "in love" with him.
Crystal said she initially had misgivings about marrying him after he proposed, but eventually returned to him after a brief relationship with Jordan McGraw, Dr. Phil’s son.
"I realized I was dealing with a really big power imbalance," she said of Hefner. "It seemed like a world of success and fantasy, but everyone's having to sleep with an 80-year-old. There's a price. Everything has a price."
Although the historic Playboy Mansion looked luxurious, Crystal says the Gothic-Tudor home built in 1927 had grown "run-down" while she was living there after years of "too many parties."
"This place doesn't really get cleaned that well and there's mold, and it just felt just kind of run down and gross after a while," the 37-year-old told People magazine of the mansion nestled in the Holmby Hills neighborhood of Los Angeles, which Hefner bought in 1971. "Too, too many parties. It was worn out."
Crystal added that the exotic animals that lived on the grounds didn’t seem well cared for.
"I feel like I was constantly crying for everything and everybody there," she told the magazine. "All those animals were so depressed and sad-looking. It was all an illusion. I don't even know if I was happy, to be honest."
Crystal said Hefner would give the girls who lived at the mansion an allowance each week that he expected them to spend on their appearance, but he was also very controlling about how they looked.
"Our nail polish couldn’t be anything but some neutral color, no French manicure," she told People, adding that he would stipulate, "Don’t have a belly button ring because that’s trashy."
Hefner didn’t like it when Crystal’s dark roots started to show, "so, I’d have to go bleach it, and it would burn my scalp, and I’d have blisters," she said. "But for some reason I thought this was all normal and that’s what it meant to be seen as beautiful in Hef’s eyes."
