Crystal Hefner, the widow of late Playboy founder Hugh Hefner, has alleged that his scrapbooks and journals contain images of nude women taken without their consent and images of underage girls.
At a news conference Tuesday with lawyer Gloria Allred, Crystal Hefner said she is “deeply worried” about the images getting out.
“There are serious and unresolved concerns about the scope of what these books contain,” she said.
Crystal Hefner said there are more than 3,000 scrapbooks and journals that span decades, dating back to the 1960s.
Allred said she filed regulatory complaints, asking for California’s and Illinois’s attorneys general to launch an investigation into the Hugh M. Hefner Foundation regarding Hugh Hefner’s scrapbook and journal collection. (The foundation’s address is listed as in California, and Hugh Hefner was born and raised in Illinois.)
The office of California’s attorney general did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The press secretary for the Illinois attorney general’s office said they received the complaint and are reviewing it.
