'I was disgusted with my body and felt like there was an alien inside my stomach'
A former Playboy Bunny has spoken on how she secretly aborted High Hefner's "devil child" after falling pregnant at 19.
Hefner was 83 at the time.
The model had discovered the pregnancy upon routine blood tests needed to get a breast enlargement. Karissa Shannon, who lived in the mansion with her twin sister Kristina, said she felt as if she was "carrying the devil's child."
She told the
Sunday Mirror: "I wasn't having sex with anyone else so it only could have been his baby. I just wanted to get rid of it as soon as possible.
"I didn't want Hef to find out and he never did.
"I was disgusted with my body and felt like there was an alien inside my stomach. It was like the devil was inside of me. I didn't want anyone to know I was carrying an 83-year-old man's child."
Karissa's sister Kristina noted: "I found a clinic in LA. I got Hef's security to drop us at the mall, pretending we were going shopping, then called my friend to pick us up. We were able to keep it secret."
Now both 32, the Twins remembered being plowed with booze before being pushed into unprotected group sex on their 19th birthdays
They noted Hefner's "black soul" and said that part of their lives left them with PTSD and depression.
On the tycoon's death in 2017, the Kristina said: "When Hef died, part of us did feel sad, but another part was like, 'OK good, no more girls are going to be groomed and ruined like we were'. I thought Playboy was one big family – now I can see it was a cult.
"Hef acted like he owned you. If we broke his rules, six guards would drag us to our room and not let us leave.
"Hef called it 'HMF arrest', after his initials. He preyed on vulnerable young girls like us. He would offer you the world, then keep you trapped in his house, which was like a golden prison."
Kristina added that Hefner insisted they call him "papa" while admitting "We had just turned 18 and were so naive."
Karissa said: "I remember Hef being very charming and nice. He was wearing silk pyjamas and slippers he always wears with his red robe.
"He was like a king in a castle – so powerful. He said, 'Hey, will you come sit next to me?' We could see other Playmates getting jealous."
A year after meeting the billionaire, the twins were taken to a club for their 19th birthdays.
They explained: "He bought us alcohol even though the US age limit is 21. When we got back, Kendra was like, 'Do you girls want to smoke some weed in Hef's room'? But when we got into his room, Kendra left. We got really nervous.
"Hef noticed and said, 'Why don't you slip into something more comfortable?' He pulled out silk pyjamas from Italy and we put them on. He pulled out this big pill like the type a horse would take. It was quaalude, which we found out he used all the time.
"He told us the drugs would help with our anxiety. We smoked some pot. We felt frozen at first but after a while the pill made us loose and fuzzy.
"He kept saying, 'My babies, my babies,' and cradling us as we lay either side of him. He told us to call him 'Papa'. It was almost 5am when we got back to our room that first night and we agreed, 'He is the devil. He has a black soul. He is going to hell'."
The twins are now looking to sue Playboy for the emotional stress.
They explained: "We were Playmates, employed, and everything happened at the mansion, so we want to go after them. We are speaking out because we want people to know who he truly was and what was going on behind closed doors," said Kristina.
