Hef’s Twins: We Swear It Was Self-Defense!

by Libby Keatinge

Hugh Hefner‘s new twins Karissa and Kristina Shannon claim their bust for battery earlier this year occurred as a result of self-defense. Karissa told St. Petersburg police that her coworker Erica Civello‘s boyfriend Ben attacked her twin when they were partying on January 10th. According to the police report, “Karissa stated that her twin sister Kristina was extremely drunk.” Ben, Erica’s boyfriend, and Kristina started to argue. Ben was calling her names and making her cry. Then he hit her with a beer bottle. Classy! Then he encouraged Erica to beat up Kristina until everyone was involved in a full-on brawl and Karissa reportedly started pulling Erica’s hair to get her off of her sister, at which point Erica ran into a wall. Holly Madison‘s replacements are ten years younger, and come with double the drama!

As for a separate incident where Karissa received a charge for battery: the victim was none other than her twin Kristina! These twins know how to party! [Source: E! Online; Photo: Getty]
