Warning: This article contains some distressing allegations. Following the death of Playboy founder Hugh Hefner in 2017, a number of his former "Bunnies" have spoken out about his alleged behavior and actions towards them. These stories, coupled with the release of the 2021 Hulu documentary Secrets of Playboy, have resulted in many people changing the way they view the seemingly glamorous life within the famed Playboy Mansion. Now, former Playboy Bunny <a href="https://vt.co/news/former-playmate-karissa-shannon-says-sex-with-hugh-hefner-was-like">Karissa Shannon</a> has claimed that she had an abortion at the age of 19 and that Hefner was the baby's father. <img class="size-full wp-image-1263183172" src="https://img.vt.co/2022/12/D0ADH6-scaled.jpg" alt="" width="1839" height="2560" />[[imagecaption|| Karissa and Kristina Shannon in 2010.

However, after undergoing a routine blood test for a planned breast enlargement procedure (which she says was paid for by Hefner), Shannon claimed that the results showed that she was pregnant. "I wasn’t having sex with anyone else so it only could have been [Hefner's] baby," she told the publication. At the time of the pregnancy, Hefner would have been 83 years old. "I just wanted to get rid of it as soon as possible," she added. "I didn’t want Hef to find out and he never did." <img class="size-full wp-image-1263183256" src="https://img.vt.co/2022/12/BXCDCJ-scaled.jpg" alt="" width="1564" height="2560" />[[imagecaption|| Karissa Shannon.

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." With help from sister Kristina, Shannon says she was able to have an abortion after the twins convinced Hefner's security that they were going shopping. Now 32 years old, Karissa and Kristina say they were encouraged to first sleep with Hefner - without protection - when they were just 19, after being given alcohol. After telling the Sunday Mirror that their time with Hefner left then requiring counseling for PTSD and depression, the twins added that they were happy when they heard the news of the Playboy mogul's passing, as it meant no other women would be harmed. Of course, Karissa and Kristina are not the first former Playboy bunnies to speak out. Holly Madison - shot to fame on the E! reality series 'The Girls Next Door between 2005 and 2010 - has since launched her Girls Next Level podcast and opened up about her time in the Mansion. On one episode, Madison <a href="https://vt.co/entertainment/holly-madison-alleges-disturbing-details-about-her-first-time-having-sex-with-hugh-hefner">recalled the disturbing details</a> from her first time sleeping with Herner, adding that the experience was "gross" and "traumatic". <img class="wp-image-1263166618 size-full" src="https://img.vt.co/2022/08/KB5P7R-scaled.jpg" alt="" width="2560" height="1829" />[[imagecaption|| Madison and Hefner in 2017.

On Madison's first evening at the house, she claims that the recruiter asked the Playboy founder: "Daddy, do you want to get the new girl?" "I s*** you not, next thing I know he’s on top of me," Madison said, adding: "I just remember feeling so gross and so used." <h6>Featured image credit: Sipa US / Alamy</h6>
