Hugh Hefner’s widow, Crystal Hefner, expressed that the famous Hefner surname does not bring much benefit anymore, especially after writing a book about their marriage.
As a result, she has decided to distance herself from the Hefner name and expressed her intention to change it back to her maiden name, Crystal Harris.
Crystal Finished Being Tied To Hugh Hefner Years After His Death
Hefner’s third and final wife, Crystal, recently appeared on Rachel Uchitel’s podcast “Miss Understood.” During the conversation, Rachel asked Crystal how Hefner’s name affected her.
Crystal, who was married to Hugh until his death in 2017, revealed that Hefner’s secretary immediately changed her surname to the late Playboy boss after their 2012 wedding.
He shared that his perspective on being a Hefner began to evolve during the process of writing his new memoir, “Only Say Good Things: Surviving Playboy and Finding Myself.” The experience caused him to reflect on his feelings about carrying the Hefner name. In his words:
“For the last five years before writing the book, I just hid. So, I’m not around people to talk about it or really dive into it. But since the book has come out, now, it’s something I think about internally. I don’t want to be Hefner. I’m done with that. I’ve closed the book now that I’ve written it and I think my name needs to go back to where it came from.”

In addition to giving her a chance to reflect on the impact the magazine publisher’s name has had on her life, Crystal’s memoir also allows her to talk about the dynamics of their relationship. For starters, the television personality opened up about how the late 91-year-old proposed to her because of his inability to commit to her at the time.
However, following a turbulent relationship with the son of Dr. Phil, Jordan, Crystal returns to be Hugh’s wife. Despite admitting her love for the successful entrepreneur, she openly admits to never being “in love” with him.
As reported by The Blast, while Crystal served as Hugh’s caretaker in his final years, the public facade of their relationship revealed a lack of deep emotional connection. Sharing his thoughts during the interview, he stated:
“I realized I was dealing with a huge power imbalance. It seems like a world of success and fantasy, but everyone has to sleep with an 80-year-old man. There is a price. Everything has a price.”
One such “price,” as Crystal detailed in her memoir, was Hugh’s instruction that she “only say nice things” about him, setting the tone for a narrative that goes beyond the luxury of the Playboy mansion. He recounted his words to her: “I want you to carry on my legacy in the future… and I want to remind you to only say good things about me.”

Initially keeping his promise, he later breaks his silence, revealing the strict rules imposed by Hugh, including a weekly allowance with specific instructions to improve his girlfriend’s appearance.
This controlled narrative extends to trivial things like nail polish color, limiting choices to neutral colors and even determining hair color, leading to a painful scalp experience in pursuit of the international icon’s definition of beauty.
Crystal Talks Hugh’s Continued Use Of S—x Drugs
In an August 2023 interview, Crystal revealed that excessive use of Viagra ultimately contributed to hearing problems for her late husband. As reported by the US media, Hugh reportedly took too much s—x drugs to satisfy his sexual desire as he got older.
The 91-year-old, who lives up to his playboy reputation, is known for engaging in activities at the iconic mansion with multiple women, including Crystal. As Crystal recalls, their activities sometimes involved group s—x, for which Hugh would use Viagra to enhance his performance.
“It’s a shame. I don’t know how many people have been in our bedroom at one time, but — a lot. Pretty bad,” Crystal said during the interview. Hugh’s frequent use of Viagra took its toll, and he suffered hearing loss in one ear — a known side effect for those who repeatedly use the blue pill.
Despite concerns about hearing loss from Viagra use, Hugh reportedly took it. For him, maintaining his ability to engage in the activity took precedence over the possible consequences. Crystal claimed, “Hef always said he’d rather be deaf and still be able to have s—x. Weird.”
