Crystal Hefner believes Playboy founder husband Hugh died 'just in time' as his empire would 'absolutely not' have survived the #MeToo movement that swept the world weeks after his death
The late Playboy founder died 'just in time' his widow Crystal, 37, told DailyMail.com. One month after Hugh's death at 91 in 2017, the #MeToo movement called for an end to sex abuse.
When Hugh Hefner died at age 91 in September 2017, no one could have predicted that, less than one month later, the#MeToo movement swept through Hollywood - exposing years of sexual abuse by some of the industry's most high-profile men. Although Crystal is adamant that the Playboy empire would 'absolutely not' have continued after Hef's passing, she did not believe that her late husband would have suffered the same fate as Harvey Weinstein, the powerful film producer who is now serving 23 years in prison for rape and sexual abuse. Hugh passed away aged 91 on September 27, 2017, as a result of heart failure and septicemia after contracting a deadly strain of e-coli, leaving a reported $43 million fortune.
