KARISSA SHANNON ACCUSES HUGH HEFNER OF PRESSURING TWINS INTO SEX

Former Playboy star Karissa Shannon has alleged that Hugh Hefner repeatedly tried to force her to have sex with her twin sister, Kristina Shannon. Karissa made the allegation while discussing sexual encounters during the sisters’ relationship with the late Playboy magazine tycoon. She denied that she and Kristina ever had sex with each other. “We faked it every time. And it was horrible,” she said of their response to Hefner’s alleged demands.

Karissa said she and Kristina moved to Hefner’s mansion in Los Angeles in 2008. She described requests involving both sisters as a recurring part of her experience of living at the estate. According to Karissa, neither she nor Kristina wanted to participate in the sexual activity Hefner sought. She said the sisters discussed his requests privately and agreed between themselves to pretend to comply.

Karissa also supported allegations that Hefner’s widow, Crystal Harris, had recently made about his demands involving the twins. Her account addressed the suggestion of incestuous conduct that had emerged through Harris’s allegations. Karissa expressed surprise at the public reaction to that suggestion. “I figured people would already have assumed that,” she said.
