Crystal Hefner has accused Saturday Night Live alum Jon Lovitz of being “one of the biggest pervs” in Hollywood, claiming he regularly attended parties at the Playboy Mansion to watch the women there.
Speaking on the Lisa Guerrero Unleashed podcast in an episode aired on Tuesday, the widow of Hugh Hefner said Lovitz, 69, was frequently present at the mansion.
“He would be up there all the time,” she said. “His eyes would go front to back [looking at] all the women that walked through the door at the party.”
Crystal also described the actor and comedian as a “lurker” and claimed he brought a dog which “peed all over the place”. She added: “I remember him. Every time, every party.”
Crystal Hefner and Jon Lovitz’s dispute
The remarks follow a public exchange between the pair after Crystal posted an Instagram video in July discussing her “regrets” about marrying Hugh Hefner.
Lovitz criticised her in the comments, asking: “Do you regret the house he bought for you to live in, after his death? And keeping the money, after you sold it? And all the times your mother was at the mansion?”
“And do you regret all he did for you?” he continued. “And do you regret leaving him and then coming back to marry him?”
Crystal later said she had “no ill will” towards Lovitz, but was disappointed to see someone who had spent time enjoying the Playboy Mansion environment criticise a woman for speaking honestly about her own life. She also called him the “biggest customer”.
Crystal and Hugh Hefner married in 2012, when she was 26 and he was 86. They remained together until his death in 2017 at the age of 91.
A new Playboy film is also in development, with Jessica Biel set to play one of Hugh Hefner’s wives. The character is expected to be fictional rather than based on any of the real women, and Crystal said she had contacted Biel to ask her not to take the role.
