Hugh Hefner’s widow, Crystal Harris, says “Saturday Night Live” alum Jon Lovitz was “one of the biggest perverts” to ever visit the infamous Playboy mansion.
In an interview Tuesday on “Lisa Guerrero Unleashed” Harris recalled that the MAGA comedian was a major “lurker” at parties at the Los Angeles mansion.
“He would be up there all the time,” Harris said. “And his eyes went back and forth, on every woman that came through the door. And at the parties, he was the lurker. And I remember him every time, at every party.”
Harris was married to Hefner, the founder of Playboy, from 2012 until his death from cardiac arrest and respiratory failure at the age of 91 in September 2017.
Harris then reflected on a social media argument she had with Lovitz, a close friend of Hefner, which apparently began after the actor criticized her for saying in a Instagram video that she regretted marrying Hefner.
“Do you regret the house he bought for you to live in, after he died? And keeping the money, after he sold it? And all the times your mother was at the mansion? And do you regret everything he did for you? And do you regret leaving him and coming back to marry him?” wrote in a comment at the time.
Lovitz’s remark was condemned by several Instagram users, with one writing: “Let the woman live and tell her own story. It’s not about you.”
“He was completely attacked in my comments,” Harris told host Lisa Guerrero of the heated exchange, “because women were like, ‘Oh, just because someone buys you something, your own husband, does that mean they can assault you or hurt you?'”
She added, “I’m like, ‘Jon Lovitz, you were the number one customer at the Playboy Mansion. You were one of the biggest perverts there. Sit down!’
Guerrero called Lovitz an “asshole” during his conversation with Harris.
Lovitz responded to Harris’ claims Tuesday evening in a video obtained by Page Six.
“Every time someone says I’m No. 1, it’s a compliment,” he said after being spotted at a Los Angeles restaurant.
The publication added that the comedian seemed unaware of Harris’ claim that he was a “lurker” at parties at the Playboy mansion.
“Hugh Hefner was one of the kindest and most generous people I have ever met and all of his friends know that,” Lovitz added. “That’s all I have to say about that.”
Harris’ appearance on the podcast came after he publicly urged actress Jessica Biel earlier this month to rethink playing a fictional Hefner wife in the upcoming “Playmates” film.
“Please reconsider playing Hugh Hefner’s wife if this movie intends to romanticize him or the Playboy world,” Harris said in a screenshot of an Instagram message she sent to Biel. “I was actually his wife and suffered sexual, emotional, financial and physical abuse during that relationship.”
Harris cited her own allegations of “sexual, emotional, financial and physical abuse” against Hefner as well as “deeply disturbing concerns about minors” and abuse claims from other women who lived at the Playboy Mansion.
Hefner and his representatives have denied multiple allegations of sexual misconduct and abuse during his life.
HuffPost has reached out to Lovitz’s representatives for further comment.
