The daughter of Hugh Hefner's former physician has described the Playboy mansion as a "weird f***ed up place".
Jennifer Saginor moved into the notorious mansion - where her father Mark Saginor worked as Hefner's physician - when she was just 11 years old.
Taking part in the documentary Secrets of Playboy - which aired on the UK's Channel 4 network - Saginor, now 51, says she initially saw the mansion as a "magical kingdom" when she first saw it at the age of six.
She said, though, that it has "taken me a long time to unravel what I experienced growing up and how I feel," the Daily Star reports.
Saginor remembered having felt a "sense of loyalty to this inner circle" after being "initiated" at a young age, saying: "I didn’t want to break that loyalty because I knew there would be serious consequences."
She added: "It was such a weird f***ed up place. "
Saginor said she saw Hefner as a father figure and that she had "so many happy memories" with him, but said this all changed during her adolescence.
She recalled: "Hef would kiss with his mouth open in sort of a French kiss sort of way. I always thought it was strange that someone who was like my uncle would kiss like that – but my father told me that’s what people do when they love each other."
At one point, Saginor began to realize that the playmates were seen "as commodities" and said she was told by her dad that she might "gain weight in [her] hips."
"At a young age he’d go over our bodies with us – my sister and I," she said. "That was nerve-wracking because I don’t think either of us thought we measured up to what we thought was acceptable. I got my own surgery at 15. It’s just awful."
Saginor recalled seeing women "naked with men all around them" and remembered thinking she "never" wanted to live like them when she was older.
She said she later fell in love with one of Hef's girlfriends and that she slept with her while she was underage. Saginor claimed that it was obvious he knew what they had done as there were cameras "everywhere".
At the age of 17, she alleges that she was called to Hefner's room where she found him and the girlfriend in bed.
"I feel like in that moment, Hefner crossed a boundary because he had always treated me like a daughter," she said.
Saginor spoke in depth about her alleged experiences in a book titled Playground: A Childhood Lost Inside the Playboy Mansion.
In response to the Channel 4 documentary, a Playboy spokesperson told E! News: "We trust and validate women and their stories and strongly support the individuals who have come forward to share their experiences in this documentary.
"After almost 70 years in business, there are many elements of Playboy’s long history which we are immensely proud and there are elements we find unworthy of our principles…
"We are proud of the work we have done in recent years to stand for freedom and equality while advancing our mission of pleasure for all."
