Hugh Hefner’s Widow Crystal Says She’s Ready to Drop His Last Name

Hugh Hefner‘s famous last name isn’t doing much good these days for his widow Crystal … and now that she’s written a book about their marriage, she’s done with the Hefner name.

Crystal says she doesn’t want to be a Hefner anymore… and feels she needs to change her name back to what it was before she met the Playboy founder … Crystal Harris.

Hugh’s 3rd and final wife was on Rachel Uchitel‘s podcast Miss Understood when Rachel asked Crystal if the Hefner name helped her or hurt her.

Crystal, who was married to Hugh when he died in 2017, says Hef’s secretary quickly changed her last name to his after their 2012 marriage … telling Rachel it was all done at Hugh’s behest. Crystal says she really had no involvement in the process.
