Former Playboy playmate Karissa Shannon has made shocking claims that her s**ual encounters with the late media mogul Hugh Hefner were “like rape” and that she is “happy” she aborted their unborn child.

Speaking on Monday’s episode of A&E’s docuseries, “Secrets of Playboy,” Shannon alleged that every time she had s** with Hefner, she considered it “assault” and claimed that he used control mechanisms completely through everything.

Shannon, who was recruited for Playboy when she was 18 along with her sister Kristina Shannon, admitted that they naively thought Hefner would not sleep with all these women.

However, they realized what they had gotten themselves into once they moved into the Playboy Mansion.

The sisters further claim that once Hefner was in the room, he offered them a pill to calm their nerves, which made them feel “really f—ed up” and the most inebriated they had ever been.

Karissa painted a vivid picture of what it was like for them to sleep with Hefner, saying on the doc, “Just imagine this, just his old hand kind of shakes [as he’s] touching your b–b.

It’s like you’re having s** with your grandpa.

And he laid there, looking up, and he was like, ‘My babies, my babies.

You love me.

‘” Despite their feelings about having s** with Hefner, the sisters continued living in the Playboy Mansion and rose to fame as centerfolds and reality stars on “The Girls Next Door.”
They claim they were “drunk every night” to try to “deal” with the magazine publisher.

The twins said they vowed to never have s** with Hefner again after they both caught chlamydia at one point, but claim he told them if they “loved him and we wanted to be his girlfriends, then we have to have s**ual encounters with him.”
Karissa claimed she discovered she was pregnant with Hefner’s child when she took a blood test in preparation for plastic surgery, but she didn’t want anyone to know, including Hefner or his longtime assistant, Mary O’Connor.

She said that she didn’t want to be stuck even more inside that bubble and considered the pregnancy as a way for him to control her even more.

It should be noted that A&E flashes a disclaimer during their series that states: ”The vast majority of allegations have not been the subject of criminal investigations or charges, and they do not constitute proof of guilt.”
In a separate interview, Karissa claimed that there was no way anyone else fathered her unborn child and that she just wanted to get rid of it as soon as possible.

Karissa and Kristina have also claimed that they’ve suffered PTSD and depression as a result of the two years they lived with Hefner in his mansion.

They’re allegedly planning to sue Playboy for emotional distress and trauma.

Ahead of the release of the 10-part “Secrets of Playboy” series, Playboy issued an open letter responding to the “abhorrent” allegations made in the doc.

The statement read: “First and foremost, we want to say: we trust and validate women and their stories, and we strongly support the individuals who have come forward to share their experiences.”

“As a brand with s** positivity at its core, we believe safety, security and accountability are paramount, and anything less is inexcusable.” The statement also added that today’s Playboy is not Hugh Hefner’s Playboy as he died in 2017 at age 91.
