Karissa and Kristina Shannon were the girlfriends of Hugh Hefner and two of the stars from the reality show The Girls Next Door. Both women have since spoken out about what it was actually like to live with Hugh, and like a lot of his former girlfriends, their stories aren't easy to handle.
In April 2022, the pair shared details of their life with the Playboy founder with Inside Edition's Lisa Guerrero.

Kristina and Karissa moved in after Holly Madison and Kendra Wilkinson moved out. Kristina explained, "Hef wrote a letter — old school — and he said, 'I would love for you guys to be my girlfriends and move in with me and film the Girls Next Door show.' So when we got the letter, we were like, of course, we're gonna go."
Karissa ended up getting pregnant with Hugh's child, which wasn't something she was happy about. She explained, "I didn't want him to know I was pregnant. I didn't want him to want me to have it. I didn't want to be stuck even more inside that bubble."
Karissa ended up terminating the pregnancy. She later told the Mirror, "I was disgusted with my body and felt like there was an alien inside my stomach."
