Kristina Shannon Recalls Feeling 'So Controlled' at P------ Mansion
Kristina Shannon recently revealed to OK! that she felt 'so controlled' when she lived at the P------ Mansion.
As Karissa prepares to enter a new chapter of her life, Kristina has recently been reflecting on the years they spent living inside the famous mansion.
In a recent exclusive interview with OK!, Kristina said she felt "so controlled" during her time at the mansion.
"I remember one time Hef wouldn't let me go to Rome, Italy, to film a bigger part in the movie I was doing with Sofia Coppola," Shannon shared. "I was even put on room arrest because Hef wanted everyone back by midnight so he could have his orgies."
"It was a rule he demanded everyone follow," she added.

'Extremely Controlled'
The former P------ bunny also declared that Hugh Hefner was not responsible for launching her career.
Kristina also revealed what life was like living at the infamous P------ Mansion.
"Everything I did, from the moment I woke up until I went to sleep, was on camera while I lived at the mansion. I was constantly being watched," she detailed. "I do appreciate some of the good things Hef did for me, but overall, everything was extremely controlled."
The former P------ Bunny also disputed the idea that Hefner was responsible for launching her career.
"First off, he didn't launch my career. I was 15, working at WingHouse, and had already appeared on billboards, menus, and in commercials," she declared. "But yes, P------ definitely helped bring me into the mainstream."
During her time with P------, Kristina said she was exposed to major Hollywood opportunities.
"P------ will always be a part of my life and, in many ways, my family," she noted. "A lot of good things happened while I was there, but a lot of bad things happened too, especially considering how young I was. Therapy and working with my psychiatrist have helped me tremendously."
Kristina Shannon Reveals She's No Longer Speaking to Twin Karissa Shannon
Kristina Shannon also revealed she is not speaking to her twin sister, Karissa Shannon.
Kristina also told OK! that she is currently not on speaking terms with her twin, Karissa.
"At the moment, I'm not speaking to my sister, and I can't say why. I do pray for her, though, and I wish the best for her," she revealed. "We're not a team anymore, we work as two individuals."
Kristina added: "In many ways, it's made things easier because I can make my own decisions and do what feels right for me without having to discuss every move with her first."
