Overview
- Complaints to the attorneys general of California and Illinois seek investigations into the foundation’s custody of roughly 3,000 personal scrapbooks and related materials.
- Crystal Hefner alleges the scrapbooks contain explicit images taken before, during, or after sexual encounters, with the possibility that some subjects were underage.
- Attorney Gloria Allred says a personal diary detailing sexual encounters, including notes on partners’ menstrual cycles, could also be in the foundation’s possession.
- The current locations of the materials are unclear, with Hefner saying she was told some items may be in private storage or residences and could be undergoing digitization.
- Hugh M. Hefner Foundation representatives have not responded to requests for comment, while Hefner and Allred seek assurances the materials will not be distributed and do not rule out destruction.
