Former Playmate makes startling claim against Hugh Hefner: 'I was a drug mule for Hef'
Monday's installment of Secrets of Playboy continued to spill the tea on Hugh Hefner’s life and business empire. Former Playmate Sondra Theodore, who dated Hefner from 1976 to 1981, opened up about the Playboy publisher’s affinity for cocaine and how he obtained it.
“I've never told anybody any of this before,” Theodore said. “I was too ashamed, for a lot of reasons, but I was a drug mule for Hef.”
Theodore claimed Hefner sent her on “countless” trips to buy cocaine. This was one of the multiple ways Hefner manipulated her. She believes she was groomed from the age of 19 to be his complaisant girlfriend, even to her detriment.
“It was nothing to him,” Theodore recalled. “It was like sending me out for a quart of milk. If I got caught, my life would be over. And do you think he would have said, ‘Oh, it's my fault?’ No, it would have been me, it would have been my problem.”
Hefner died in 2017. Theodore does not think he would have enjoyed being alive in today’s time and age.
“If Hef was alive, he would be in jail,” Theodore said. “And wherever he is, and I don't think it's a good place, I know he knows that I told the truth and he's not happy about it.”
Secrets of Playboy airs Mondays at 9 p.m. on A&E.
