The twin exes of Hugh Hefner believed they would die after suffering from ‘traumatic trauma’ in a mansion.
Former Playboy playmates Karissa and Kristina Shannon have revealed they feared for their lives in the infamous mansion. The twins moved to the property in 2008 aged just 19. The duo quickly embarked on an 18-month relationship with the late owner, Hugh Hefner.
However, they have now opened up about the “trauma” they experienced inside the house and described how their life turned around after they left the property in 2010. The couple claimed that people told them they were going through their “Anna Nicole stage,” including weight gain and addiction.
Anna Nicole Smith was a famed Playboy magazine centrefold in the early 90s, but sadly died of a combined drug intoxication at the age of 39 in February 2007.
Speaking to People magazine, Kristina said: “Everyone was saying we were going through our ‘Anna Nicole phase’. We gained weight. There was alcohol and pills.
We were actually suicidal, lost, and unhealthy. No one was present. We were just trying to figure it out after we had lost ourselves.
They also shared how things went wrong while they were residing in the mansion. Kristina claimed the E! after explaining how much younger they were than other playmates, including Holly Madison. Nothing on the Girls Next Door reality television program actually compares.
She asserted that what was happening in the background was completely different from what was happening on the air. Before revealing how upset they were with other playmates, she said, “She described their time in the house as a” culture shock.”
Karissa claimed that jealousy contributed to the “special attention” Hefner gave them. He would want to get in the middle of the twins to take a picture, she said. Or he would say, “Can you move the twins toward the table’s front?” The girls started to become incredibly jealous because I want to sit next to them.
Kristina claimed she was teary-eyed after being bullied. Sister Karissa said Playboy will always be a part of their lives, despite calling it “very traumatic.” It really destroyed who we are, especially when he abandoned our faith, Karissa said.
“We dealt with a lot of trauma because our faith in Jesus turned out to be a big problem,” said one witness. Like many girls, we had no family to support us.
Previously opening up on an episode of A&E documentary Secrets Of Playboy, Karissa revealed Hefner ‘has so much power” that it became like a “cult”. She said: “The isolation that I had from the outside world.”
Kristina continued to compare living in the mansion to “having someone break you while you’re in jail.”
The sisters have undergone therapy sessions since leaving the Playboy mansion after being diagnosed with PTSD. They now claim to be much better physically and have since rediscovered their faith.
