Claire Sinclair: Marston Hefner is "unstable"

2011 Playmate of the Year Claire Sinclair is opening up about the night Marston Hefner allegedly beat her up -- and the details aren't pretty.

Sinclair, who was in an on-again, off-again relationship with Hugh Hefner's son since August 2010, said the couple had just moved in together when things went terribly wrong.

"We had just freshly moved into the apartment, and I know Marston was a little stressed out about it, and Marston has been unstable throughout the whole course of our relationship… and we got into an argument about something really silly and it kind of escalated and it became violent," Sinclair told E! News.

"Initially, he kicked me and I went backwards, I fell. Then he punched me and grabbed me up, and I scratched him to defend myself. It was very shocking."

When cops showed up Marston denied Sinclair's allegations, but he was arrested anyway when she showed them her injuries. He has since been released on $200,000 bail.

The model also said she has yet to hear from anyone in the Playboy camp to make sure she's okay.

"Nobody, no support," the 20-year-old said. "Nobody's empathetic or concerned. It's more like, cover it up and protect the image, you know what I'm saying?"

"In one aspect, I'm ridiculously offended by the way things are being handled, on the other aspect, I understand. It's family," she mused. "And they're looking out for their name, and I understand that, but they need to at least recognize what has happened and apologize for what has happened."

The only comment Hugh Hefner has made about the incident was to blow it off as a lovers' quarrel.

"If they care about each other, they'll patch it up," the Playboy founder told People.

Marston Hefner has not responded to requests for comment.

Lindsay Lohan nude in Playboy: "Classy" says Hef

Lindsay Lohan clashed with Hugh Hefner over the direction of her upcoming Playboy spread, but it looks like Hefner won in the end. The New York Post cites sources familiar with the photo shoot who claim Lohan wanted a fashion-edge while Hef wanted, well, a naked one. The New York Post's Page Six reports, "He felt the initial shots looked too much like a Kate Moss-inspired fashion story -- Lindsay's choice -- where he wanted more of a classic Hollywood Marilyn Monroe feel."

Hugh Hefner told The Insider, "It's a classic tribute by the original Tom Kelly pictorial of Marilyn Monroe, a portion of which was the original playmate in the very first issue of Playboy.  When asked if Lohan appears fully nude, he confirms, "Oh yes. And it's classy, very classy."

Playboy confirmed to Fox News that Lindsay Lohan's naked debut will hit newsstands in December as their January/February issue. The shoot was extended after Lohan's initial shots did not meet Hefner's expectations. This became a complicated situation given Lohan's court dates and desire to keep control of the spread. The New York Post explains, "Lohan was accompanied by lawyers, agents and publicists, who, sources said, gave their two cents about what was considered 'nude' and what was not."

It's been an odd month for Lohan so far. She was sentenced to 30 days in jail on Nov. 2 and reported for her sentence on the evening of Nov. 6. Just a few hours later, Lindsay was released due to overcrowding.  The troubled actress has had difficulty landing work given her legal troubles, so hopefully Lohan's $1 million Playboy payout can keep up with her likely substantial lawyer's fees.
