Overview

  • Karissa and Kristina Shannon moved into Hugh Hefner's Playboy Mansion at age 19 in 2008, enduring favoritism-driven bullying and emotional trauma during their 18-month relationship with Hefner.
  • After leaving the mansion in 2010, the twins faced severe struggles, including substance abuse, weight gain, and suicidal thoughts, which they likened to an 'Anna Nicole phase.'
  • Relocating to Michigan marked a turning point, where they were diagnosed with mental health conditions, including bipolar disorder and anxiety, and began their recovery journey.
  • The twins credit their renewed Christian faith, daily meditation, and adopting an organic, self-care-focused lifestyle for their ongoing healing and transformation.
  • Now 35, they balance occasional work trips to Los Angeles and Las Vegas with a peaceful life in Michigan, prioritizing mental health, spiritual growth, and personal well-being.
