He wasn't trying to have sex or any of those things. "It is shocking seeing some of the things people are saying about Hef, but at the same time I just feel lucky because I didn't get to see the dark side and I'm so glad he didn't try it on at all. "There was never a time when he was pervy, not once. "He was like my granddad from another lifetime. "I knew there wasn't going to be s*** going down." She added: "The allegations made against him in the documentary, I can't comment on, but there were a lot of rules in place. "We're just lucky we had all of the amazing parties. "Shout out to Destiny, you were my sister there.
