Crystal Harris turned on the waterworks while talking about her called-off wedding on Thursday's "Entertainment Tonight."
"I disappointed everybody," she cried.
And probably no one more so than former fiancé Hugh Hefner himself, though Harris claimed that the decision to split earlier this week was "mutual."
"Hef was very supportive when I said maybe the wedding wasn't the best idea," Harris said. "He said he was only doing it for me because he thought that's what I wanted."
It apparently took a nearly six-month engagement for the Playboy Playmate, 25, to realize marrying Hefner, 85, wasn't what she wanted at all.
"I can honestly say I was not the only woman in Hef's life, and I didn't feel comfortable in my heart knowing that," she explained.

Harris added that "a marriage is between two people and that's not what our relationship was."
Confusingly, the buxom blond admitted that though Hefner "doesn't live a normal lifestyle" with "women around all the time," she loved "everyone being around."
"I love everyone that's there," she said.
In fact, it was that lifestyle that first attracted Harris to Hefner.
"The whole Playboy life and Hef, everything, just intrigued me," she explained.
And she ended up having "a great time."
"I wouldn't trade it for the world," Harris said. "But being there, I don't know, it just makes me realize money isn't everything."

Some have speculated that it was actually Harris' desire for more money, through a music career that had a perhaps not-so-coincidental launch at the time the split was announced, that led to the breakup.
Other reports have suggested that Jordan McGraw, son of Dr. Phil McGraw, also played a role.
Harris' manager has said the two are nothing more than friends, although TMZ.com reported Friday that Jordan is helping Harris with her album.
In an interview with Ryan Seacrest on Wednesday, Harris similarly claimed Hefner's lifestyle was to blame for the separation, but the media mogul seemed to disagree.
"Crystal did an interview with Ryan Seacrest this morning to explain everything, but I still don't have a clue," he tweeted.
