Hugh Hefner Tipped FBI About Epstein After Playmate Trafficked Playboy founder Hugh Hefner repeatedly called the FBI to report Jeffrey Epstein for sexual abuse in 2005, after a Playboy Playmate told him she was raped and trafficked by the disgraced financier, according to new details in a lawsuit. Audra Lynn Christiansen — Miss October 2003 — turned to Hef for help when she was 23 and living at his Beverly Hills mansion, prompting the late magazine publisher to call the agency “multiple times” for assistance, according to the suit, filed by 32 Epstein victims against the United States. In addition to the rape allegations, Christiansen said she confided in Hefner that she also was trafficked to one of his rich friends — Macau casino billionaire Stanley Ho, China’s “Godfather of gambling” who died in 2020, according to the filing. She asked Hefner to call on her behalf in 2005, because she felt he had law enforcement connections and the “clout” to her allegations were taken seriously. “Mr. Hefner called the FBI multiple times on behalf of Ms. Christiansen to report Jeffrey Epstein,” the complaint states. The revelations are part of an amended complaint filed in May in the US District Court for the Southern District of Florida by Epstein victims who charge the FBI failed to act on multiple reports about his sexual abuse as early as 1996. “The fact that the FBI is trying to utilize procedural technicalities to try to avert accountability and responsibility for its failures to properly investigate Jeffrey Epstein for over 20 years should be deeply concerning to all,” Jordan Merson, lawyer for the victims, told The Post.#jeffrey_epstein #fbi #hugh_hefner #audra_lynn_christiansen #stanley_ho
Kendra Wilkinson Defends Against 'Aged Poorly' Trolls Former Playboy star Kendra Wilkinson has publicly responded to critics who have mocked her for allegedly "aging poorly," calling out the negativity while celebrating her current life. The 40-year-old, who first entered the Playboy Mansion at age 18 and became a household name as one of Hugh Hefner’s iconic "bunnies," has faced recent online backlash for her appearance. In a heartfelt statement, Wilkinson addressed the harsh comments, emphasizing her self-acceptance and contentment with her life. Wilkinson, who rose to fame in the early 2000s after being scouted by Hefner in 2004, became a fan favorite for her bubbly personality. She starred in reality shows like Kendra and Kendra on Top and The Girls Next Door, which chronicled her life alongside fellow Playboy stars Holly Madison and Bridget Marquardt. Her time at the mansion, which spanned from 2004 to 2009, marked a significant chapter in her career. However, as her TV presence waned by 2017, she shifted her focus to family life, eventually becoming a real estate agent in 2020. In her response, Wilkinson reflected on her journey, acknowledging the years of public scrutiny she endured. "I used to use a light filter on myself, but now I’m just embracing myself as I am," she said. She admitted to facing criticism about her appearance, stating, "I’ve seen many people comment saying I’ve aged 'poorly'—and that is OK. I’m OK with ageing 'poorly.'" She emphasized her happiness despite physical changes, noting, "I’m happier than I’ve ever been lately, even with a little weight gain and wrinkles." Wilkinson also highlighted her personal growth, describing herself as a "balanced, single, positive, fun woman who loves life.#kendra_wilkinson #hugh_hefner #holly_madison #bridget_marquardt #hank_baskett
