Hefner Widow Calls Lovitz 'Biggest Perver' at Mansion
Crystal Harris claims the comedian was a constant fixture at parties and cited his presence during a recent social media dispute.
By Layla Richardson ·
Crystal Harris, the widow of Hugh Hefner, stated on Tuesday that Jon Lovitz was one of the most frequent and intrusive guests at the Playboy Mansion. Harris, appearing on the podcast Lisa Guerrero Unleashed, described the comedian as a constant presence at Los Angeles parties following the founder's death in 2017.
The comments follow a public exchange between the two women over an Instagram post in which Harris expressed regret about her marriage to Hefner. Lovitz responded to the post with a series of questions regarding the house Hefner purchased for Harris and the financial benefits she received after his death.
Harris said she felt compelled to address Lovitz's comments because many female followers defended him. She noted that some users suggested that receiving gifts from a husband implied consent to potential mistreatment. In response, Harris told Lovitz he should sit down, recalling his status as a top visitor to the property.
"He would be up there all the time," Harris said of the comedian's visits. "And his eyes would go front to back, all the women that walked through the door. And at the parties, he'd be the lurker. And I remember him every time, every party."
Lovitz addressed the controversy while dining in Los Angeles. He described the label of being the number one customer as a compliment. The comedian said he shrugged off the specific claims about his behavior at the mansion but emphasized the generosity of Hefner.
"Hugh Hefner was one of the nicest, most generous people I've ever met and all of his friends know it," Lovitz said. "That's all I have to say about that."
Harris' podcast appearance comes after she contacted actress Jessica Biel earlier this month. Harris urged Biel to reconsider her role in the upcoming film Playmates, which depicts a fictionalized version of Hefner's wife. Harris cited her own experiences of sexual, emotional, financial, and physical abuse during the marriage as reasons for her request. Hefner and his representatives denied the various allegations of misconduct made during his lifetime. Lovitz's representatives were contacted for further comment.
