Playboy founder Hugh Hefner, says she found and subsequently destroyed “thousands” of photos of “countless” women. She made the revelation on Monday (24 January) in a tweet directed to Holly Madison, a former resident of the Playboy mansion who was Hugh Hefner’s “main girlfriend” in the 2000s.

Crystal Hefner sent the message the same day a documentary aired in which Madison said she used to be afraid of leaving the mansion because she feared a “mountain of revenge porn” would come out if she did. “I found thousands of those disposable camera photos you are talking about @hollymadison,” Crystal Hefner wrote in her tweet to Madison. “I immediately ripped them up and destroyed every single one of them for you and the countless other women in them.

They're gone. ”Madison shared Crystal Hefner’s tweet and thanked her. Crystal Hefner was married to Hugh Hefner from 2012 until his death at the age of 91 in 2017.

Madison is one of the participants interviewed in Secrets of Playboy, a new A&E documentary exploring Hugh Hefner’s life and the culture he created as the founder of the magazine. “When I lived at the mansion, I was afraid to leave,” she says in the docuseries. “Something that was always lingering at the back of my mind, I think since the very beginning, was that if I left there was this mountain of revenge porn waiting to come out. ”Ahead of the documentary’s release, the PLBY Group, the company behind the magazine and its related properties, issued an open letter seeking to separate the current Playboy magazine from Hugh Hefner.
