Gia Fleur shares her surprising experience at the Playboy Mansion, where late founder Hugh Hefner personally invited her after seeing her bikini photos as a teenager.
Unexpected Invitation at 18
At age 18 or 19, during her first trip to Los Angeles, Gia Fleur found herself broke with just a one-way ticket and $800. Staying at a plastic surgeon’s home she met on Facebook, she connected with Playboy model Heather.
Heather, who attended weekly “fun in the sun” Sundays at the mansion, sent Gia’s bikini photos to Hefner’s assistant, Mary. Hefner approved the invite, calling it a dream come true for the Girls Next Door fan.
“Hef was like, ‘Yeah, she can come’. I was gagged,” Gia recalls in a recent TikTok video. Hefner added her to the permanent guest list, and she visited every Sunday for months.
Life at the Mansion
Arriving at 2 p.m., Gia enjoyed cocktails, classic films, and pool time with about 20 women and Hefner’s older gentleman friends.
Recent MAFS Drama
This comes amid fresh controversy from Gia’s Married At First Sight stint. In a TikTok live group chat with best friend Wil Thompson—her Man of Honour—and intruder groom Chris Robinson, they trashed ex Scott McCristal.
Wil labeled Scott a “d***nob,” mocked partners of Scott’s brothers, and shared unaired MAFS footage details. He quizzed Scott on children, bank account, weekend habits, and even condom size.
“I was asking all these really, really outrageous questions,” Wil said.
Gia, 36 and a mother of one, has repeatedly criticized Scott, 33. Last month, she claimed he cannot “read, write or spell,” boasted about new boyfriend Alan, and accused him of ghosting post-split.
Her comments targeted Scott’s radio interview on Triple M’s Robbie and Carly Show, dismissing it as “cute and sweet” before highlighting his alleged literacy issues: “The elephant in the room… you don’t know how to spell, read or write.”
