The media figure added: 'Whatever happened with him, with his relationships, that was his thing. It's not my responsibility to protect a man for his life choices.'

'I got into deep regret [afterwards]. I got to that point where I started hating myself [and asking], "Why did I have sex with Hugh Hefner?"...I hated my boobs, my body, my face,' she recalled.

The real estate agent then stated that she was often asked to excuse or downplay her former partner's actions, although she expressed that she did not feel the need to do so.

'Do you know how many people were putting pressure on me to stick up for Hef with all his allegations and all this stuff? That's not my responsibility to stick up for someone like that,' she said.

Wilkinson went on to state that her former partner's influence often downplayed her achievements in the period following the end of their relationship.

She recalled: 'Hef kept appearing in my life and there were times where I wanted to stop that. I'm, like, "Hef's not a part of my life anymore. Can we not include Hef in my life moving forward?'"'

'There were times where I kept trying to part ways with Playboy and it just kept following me through time,' she added.
