Crystal Harris accuses Jon Lovitz of inappropriate behavior at Playboy Mansion
Hefner’s widow Crystal Harris said comedian Jon Lovitz frequently loitered at Playboy Mansion parties and called him one of the biggest perverts, while Lovitz dismissed the allegation.
Crystal Harris, the widow of Playboy founder Hugh Hefner, told host Lisa Guerrero on the "Lisa Guerrero Unleashed" program that Jon Lovitz was a regular "lurker" at parties held at the Playboy Mansion in Los Angeles. > "He would be up there all the time, 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," Harris said.
Harris, who was married to Hefner from 2012 until his death in 2017, also referenced a prior Instagram exchange in which Lovitz questioned whether she regretted the house Hefner bought for her and other aspects of their relationship. The comment drew criticism from other Instagram users, who urged Harris to tell her own story.
During the interview, Guerrero described Lovitz as a "jerk," and Harris responded, "Jon Lovitz, you were Playboy Mansion’s number one customer. You were one of the biggest pervs there. Sit down!"
Lovitz later addressed the accusations in a video obtained by a media outlet, stating, "Any time someone says I’m No. 1, it’s a compliment," and adding, "Hugh Hefnan was one of the nicest, most generous people I’ve ever met and all of his friends know it. That’s all I have to say about that."
Harris also recently urged actress Jessica Biel to reconsider portraying a fictionalized version of Hefner’s wife in the upcoming film "Playmates," citing her own allegations of sexual, emotional, financial and physical abuse during her marriage to Hefner, as well as concerns raised by other women who lived at the mansion.
