Hugh Hefner’s widow, Crystal Hefner, claims Oscar-winning actor Jack Nicholson treated the Playboy Mansion like his personal “drive-thru.” The former Playmate, 40, alleged that Nicholson was such a frequent visitor to the infamous Los Angeles estate that the women who lived there gave it a cheeky nickname. “They used to call it Jack Nicholson’s drive-thru at one point because he would drive up, grab some food or whatever else he could get there and leave,” she said during an episode of her “After the Mansion” show. Nicholson’s daughter, Lorraine, previously opened up about her own experiences at the Playboy Mansion, where she spent much of her childhood playing with Hefner’s sons Marston and Cooper. Crystal Hefner claimed Jack Nicholson was a frequent Playboy Mansion guest. “They used to call it Jack Nicholson’s drive-thru at one point,” she said. Getty Images “People assume that my father took me to the Mansion, but they assume wrong,” she wrote in a 2024 essay for Vanity Fair. “In fact, I can venture with confidence that I spent more time there than my father ever did.” Lorraine explained that it was actually her nanny, who had previously worked as Hefner’s social secretary, who brought her to the sprawling property. Crystal, 40, who married the Playboy founder in 2012, also claimed that her late husband was obsessed with rubbing elbows with Hollywood’s biggest stars. “One thing that mattered most to Hef was fame,” she shared. “Any celebrity was treated extremely well whenever they visited. He would have Bill Maher for chats, hang with Berry Gordy of Motown and then you’d see plenty of other people there. Buzz Aldrin, the original Catwoman.” Crystal said Hugh Hefner loved celebrities visiting the mansion. AFP via Getty Images The couple was married until the Playboy founder’s death in 2017. WireImage Crystal’s latest revelations come on the heels of her disturbing allegations of sexual abuse against her late husband. During a Tuesday appearance on the “Lisa Guerrero Unleashed” podcast, Crystal suggested that she had been raped by Hefner during their relationship. “I do believe that I did whatever he wanted me to do. And if that involved sex, then I just did what he wanted me to do,” she said when asked whether she believed she had been raped. She also alleged that Hugh forced her and other women to use dirty sex toys and pressured twin sisters to engage in sexual activity. “That is incest. That is disgusting,” Crystal said. “I didn’t want them to have to do something like that with each other. So that was very, very hard.” Want more celebrity and pop culture news?
