Private Scrapbooks

Crystal Hefner seeks state probes into Hefner Foundation over private scrapbooks

Crystal Hefner and attorney Gloria Allred asked California and Illinois regulators to investigate the Hugh M. Hefner Foundation, alleging it holds about 3,000 of Hefner’s private scrapbooks with thousands of nude photos of women—the potentially non‑consensual and, in some cases, underage images—raising concerns about consent, storage, and distribution. The foundation hasn’t commented, and regulators are reviewing the complaints.
