HEFNER TEEN RAPE SCANDAL EXPLODES
Skin mag pin-up girl unmasks Playboy perv
PLAYBOY model Susie Krabacher is baring a 40-year silence to reveal scurvy skin mag boss Hugh Hefner drugged and raped her when she was barely 18!
The centerfold’s revelation is one of a slew of accusations by former Playmates, who are detailing their ordeal at Hefner’s hands, including being dosed with “thigh opener” Quaaludes, on the A&E series Secrets of Playboy.
Now 58, Krabacher says Hefner’s abuse dredged up her horrific childhood when she was raised on an Alabama farm by strict religious “cult-like” parents and her grandpa sexually violated her.
“He would take me into the woods and then he would take his pants off and he would rape me,” she says. “When I was eight, he said, ‘Well, don’t you ever tell your mother, because she will kill you if you tell her.’”
Krabacher escaped when she was 15 determined to raise enough money to get her brother away. At 17, she posed for Playboy, which published the photos a year later using the name Susie Scott, the May 1983 Playmate.
She moved into the Playboy Mansion and one night, the 18-year-old went to Hef’s room to talk about being Playmate of the Year. The 57-year-old magazine mogul gave her a pill, which she now believes was a Quaalude, “to calm her down,” she recalls.
She passed out and when she woke, “this old man with his mouth gaping open, he was naked, and my pajama bottoms were off. I thought that I was having a nightmare. I thought I was reliving the last time that my grandfather had done this to me.
“He honestly had the same look that my grandfather had. It was Hefner. He looked like Satan, just a creep. The next morning, I was so ashamed, I wanted to just die.”
Depressed, her weight plunged to 90 pounds.
She finally confessed to editor Marilyn Grabowski, who she claims pooh-poohed the incident, telling her: “‘Oh that’s all? Don’t let it bother you. It’s nothing. He won’t even remember it.’ And I’m like, ‘But I will never forget it.’”
Grabowski denies her claims. Hef’s son Cooper insists his father was a nice man and tales of the publisher’s twisted sex life are simply “regret becoming revenge.”
