Sondra Theodore: Hugh Hefner's ex WARNED him to stay away from her daughter fearing he'd get her into drugs

'I saw him indoctrinating my daughter. He never touched her, but I would have killed him,' Sondra Theodore revealed

Playboy mogul Hugh Hefner's abused former girlfriend, Sondra Theodore, says she warned him to stay away from her teenage daughter because she feared he would lure her into his world of drugs and orgies. In a new episode of the docuseries 'Secrets of Playboy,' Theodore says she cut ties with Hefner and never returned to his home because she feared for her daughter Katie.

The 65-year-old dated Hefner from 1976 to 1981 and has made revelations about him in the docuseries. She revealed how he drugged girls, held group sex sessions, and had unhinged sexual desires. "He was sucking the life out of me. Really, he was a monster, the things that he got turned on by. Nothing was enough, nothing. I walked in once and he was [sexual hand gesture] to our dog, and I was like, 'What are you doing?' And he said, 'Well, dogs have needs.' And I went, 'Stop that! Just stop that.' And I never left him alone with the dog again. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. I could not believe what I was seeing."

Theodore revealed that she snapped at Hefner, who died in 2017 aged 91, when he began wooing her daughter Katie at one of his get-togethers. "I saw him indoctrinating my daughter. He never touched her, but I would have killed him. The same thing, he walks in and singles her out and makes her feel special. And I'd say 'You can't have her. Don't you touch her.'" The former actress and model sobbed and added, "Yeah, because if he would have touched her I would just have died."

Theodore further said, "So many people counted on that fairytale, including my own children. My daughter grew up looking at those pictures, thinking I'd been a princess. By the end of the documentary, they finally came around when their father (Ray Manzella) said, 'Hef was not always a good guy. He did some bad things to your mother.' That was the moment she (Katie) was able to let go of the fairytale too. That was a huge breaking point for us - for my child to accept."

'The Secrets of Playboy' airs on A&E and has unveiled many life stories of different women who were involved in the Playboy mansion and the trauma they continue to face because of it. Theodore concluded, "Nobody can tell you your story is a lie. It is not their story. I am bringing to light part of the story," as reported by The Sun.

Meanwhile, Hefner's son, Cooper tweeted in the wake of the multiple allegations against his father and said, "Some may not approve of the life my Dad chose, but my father was not a liar. However unconventional, he was sincere in his approach and lived honestly. He was generous in nature and cared deeply for people. These salacious stories are a case study of regret becoming revenge."
