Runaway Bride

Runaway Bride - The one that backed out on Hugh Hefner
Singapore
June 17, 2011 2:18pm CST
I wonder any of you would have caught the news on the last minute wedding walkout between Hugh Hefner and Crystal Harris , where the former is the famous magazine mogul (Playboy). In the first place, I find them to be a real mismatch in terms of their age where the famous Hugh Hefner is already 85 years old while his bride to be or rather runaway bride is only 25 years old, with such a startling difference I just have to wonder why and how on earth did she agree to the marriage proposal in the first place. I know there may be interesting theories that she might be a gold digger or opportunist for his wealth or part of his estate but when she came forward into the open, in an interview on an open television network. Honestly, I just wish that she didn't because, I really cannot buy into her story where she blames that she could not bear it that he has other women in his life. Could you believe it? Who is Hugh Hefner? So much about blondes being dumb, I think we just have another case.

She did not know it?? What she could expect from that man?? Want to be his only girl? That is impossible~ Why on earth she did not know it at all while that is the simplest thing she could ever think of her boyfriend~

CTHanum, I suppose there's more than it meets the eye and if she's not prepared to come out into the open and be honest, then the least she could do was to keep her mouth shut. Her sob story is just simply stupid and lame. Like you've said, how could she not have any idea who and what kind of man her husband to be is. Besides, she was one of his magazines celebrated playmates.

CTHanum, Same field - I beg to differ as Crystal is a wannabe and has yet to find herself. Besides, being Playmate for Playboy, I think you are aware that she had just launched her album. BTW, I don't think she can sing. Honestly, I am bringing this discussion to encourage some thinking about coming up front and this is one example that has compelling negative effect. She is taking that she does not have any mistakes at all and that the sole decision for her decision is the unacceptable lifestyle of Hugh. She just give women a bad name in this sense.

They are both in the same field. They should know each other very well. She is with him or not it will not make any difference. It should not be an issue at all~

Nice image. I think I already saw her before but I just can't remember where. Clearly she's an opportunist but I'm also betting Hugh knows about this. He knows how old he is that's why he's just using his money and his magazine to get women. Take all that away and Hugh Hefner is nothing. Don't get me wrong, though, Hugh Hefner is a god to me.

frontvisions101, While I can agree with you that Hugh Hefner isn't blameless for this incident but I am sure you will have to agree with me that Crystal is way overboard here. For one, she should have walked away much earlier and not waste all those efforts and resources preparing for the wedding. Preventing this embarrassing calamity today. And, when she came onto the national television - she just threw herself into the gutters again. She just left her brain at home again.

No. I meant it's okay for him knowing that Crystal is just after the money. Maybe she had the energy to organize the wedding because it's also for her own future, that's how I think it is.

I still believe Cystal HArris was trying to be a gold digger and still might get some money out of Hef! Maybe she will try and sue him someday! Anyway Harris is lying,I beleive. I thought her tears were crocodile tears! There was to many things that are suspious. Her song came out last week. She knew Hugh Hefner was releasing her on the latest Playboy,cover, with her on it as the new "Mrs.Hefner'! It came out last week! She had this planned all a long! SHe wanted to emarress him! I don't think Hef and harris slpit was amicable! Sooner or later the truth will come up! I will be waiting to hear it!

blue65packer, I was actually asking myself who she was trying to convince when she came with that sanctimonious crap about marriage when she has already benefited from her song launch and centerfold for the top selling magazine. I am unsure if she will sue but rather I am anticipating that Hugh will take her to the cleaners for all that spat and preparations for the fateful wedding.

I have to say that I think that there was something strange about her in the first place. Regardless of whether she was a gold digger or whether she wanted publicity, it is sick to do either of those things using a person that is old enough to be your own grandfather. Other than that, I really don't have anything more that I can add to this discussion because the engagement and such made me sick in the first place.

dorannmwin, For a start, it is really hard not to believe that the relationship and marriage (unsuccessful) was one with and/or about benefits. So, I have to admit that the whole drama just leave everyone with a bad taste about real and true relationship. And, I can empathize your resentment as I am equally there myself.

I think she has the right set of mind calling the whole thing off. I am sure Holly Madison would have taken the opportunity in a heartbeat. I can't imagine anyone wanting to marry Hugh knowing the way he plans to live his life and I don't know why he just doesn't decide to live life alone since he seems to not really care to be married in the true sense of the word.

PDBME2, Undeniably, she did have the right set of mind but she should have done it much earlier and not at the eleventh hour. After her television appearance and the speech, I just could not envisage that she had "ransomed" her other half, that he should give up his womanizing lifestyle or suffer the embarrassment of an eleventh hour walkout. I am sure no one would believe that this marriage is without agendas and benefits but from what she had done so far, it just made her become more to be the villain here. As for Holly, I believe the article below will say otherwise. And as what you've said: "can't imagine anyone wanting to marry Hugh knowing the way he plans to live his life". So, I believe he will be by himself for the moment. Read more on Holly Madison: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2004512/Holly-Madison-new-love-Hugh-Hefner-misses-chance.html P.S. Nice to see you back here again.

Being a bunny herself she should have know from the start what she was getting into. I think she was seeing dollar signs. That's the only reason why I can think why a 25 yr old would marry a 80 yr old man.

greenmachine45, So far, her album was launched and she made it to the covers and playmate of the month for the popular magazine, it is undeniable that there are benefits. But, I just did not admire the spat and denial that she is not at fault here. She had every chance to walk away way before preparations which she did not and then that spat on the television just does not depict her well.

I don't think she was dumb. I think she got just what she wanted and that was alot of free publicity! To worry about who an 85 year old man has in his life...like other women..it almost bogus...but she got headlines!

Crystal Harris - The runaway bride of 2011
jillhill, Well, she certainly owned the headlines there but out of it all, I just did not have any praises on her coming out into the open. It is really bogus alright, and I cannot understand why the television would still want to release and air it. Her explanation is just lame compared to the ring picture below, where she look so intent on marrying the Playboy himself. Honestly, she's a total mess and a disgrace to decent women.

I don't pay attention to things like this. But if I had to have an opinion, what does he expect?

Hi debrakcarey, I think you mean "what does She expect" or am I wrong? I have to say that although I understand and sympathize her last minute withdrawal from this misfit wedding, her television appearance is just pathetic which is just merely some theatrics.

Hello sky, I didn't this girl by the look on her face, had the real intention to marry this man out of love. i feel sad that women like her exist,it makes me think twice having some one these days. it's not for me to judge but the age difference is huge and it's not believable that she would love an old man

LetranKnight25, Unbelievable, indeed. Pardon me and no offense to any fans here, but these two are totally misfits as far as I am concerned. I just question both their judgments and decisions. Anyway, I am sure you will be able to find someone to be with for life. So, don't let the knowledge of these women discourage you with your future life partner. Take care and have a nice day.

Hefner is 85 and Crystal is 25; golddigger, you think.This is the life these kind of people lead and they are not ashamed when the media splat gossip about their that private lives all over the television. It will be interesting to see where this little stunt takes Crystal's career. Hefner will go on doing what he does best; pretending to be a stud

Angelgirl16, There's no doubt that their relationship including the marriage is one about benefits which is sadly very real today. However, I am coming where she did not walk away earlier wasting all those efforts and resources in preparing for the wedding and coming onto the television network to spit at the other party. Lastly, I believe Hefner does not pretend to a stud but he IS one.

Oh, It happens really. I have this girl friend that backed out to the last minutes of her supposed marriage. The reason, she's in love with somebody else two weeks before her wedding. In the end, she married the new boyfriend but separated year after. I guests sometimes girls go nuts at the day of her wedding for some reason

EdnaReyes, Undeniably, these things do happen or else we would not have that term "change of heart" today. I am sorry for your friend and how things have turned out for her. She will probably have to live through the consequences of her decisions. Back to the topic, I wonder if this spectacle would have been avoided had she walked away well before preparations had started.

How much money would she be getting? That's something to take into consideration..

youaremylush, And, the hunk as well if I may add. Honestly, I believe she's just coming to terms with the age difference and the hunk she couldn't have if she's married to this old mogul. I am sure she will be thanking her stars if her forsaken bridegroom does not take her to court for all the punitive damages caused. So, I am really wondering if there's actually any money for her here.

nurseclare, I believe you hit it right on the nail when you said that she doesn't love him and likewise for him (to be fair) which is actually more of a marriage with agendas on both ends. Although, I am relatively open about age differences between couples but I have to say that this one just did not go down well with me.

To be honest, I find it completely gross! Why in the world would someone want to be with an 85 year old man, that has slept with who knows how many women, at the age of 25? The only way I would even be with an 85 year old man is if I too were 85!! :) Alot of it has to do with the attention that she is getting, and quite frankly I would NOT want to be part of that sick cycle. She FINALLY used her brain instead of her 'Crystal' ball to choose the right path for her future. Troz! :)

linzyd27, Great point! Honestly, Hugh Hefner isn't blameless but the television appearance by Crystal just threw her deeper into the gutters. I agree that she should have used her brain matter when she was proposed and she should have walked away from it. The least she could have done if for that awkward camera moment was to turned it down after the cameras are off and not waste everyone's time preparing for the wedding. I am really baffled with her television appearance which is really nothing but a smear and pity rally.
