She’s held her tongue for years and now Holly Madison is ready to spill the beans on her experience living at the Playboy Mansion with Hugh Hefner.
In her new tell-all memoir “Down the Rabbit Hole: Curious Adventures and Cautionary Tales of a Former Playboy Bunny,” the “Girls Next Door” star states she experienced emotional abuse shortly after she met Hef and moved in.
Per an Us Weekly preview, Holly wrote of the first time she chatted with Hugh- “‘Would you like a Quaalude?’ Hef asked, leaning toward me with a bunch of large horse pills in his hands, held together by a crumpled tissue. I declined. Hef did not miss a beat- ‘Okay, that’s good,’ he said, nonchalantly. ‘Usually, I don’t approve of drugs, but you know, in the ‘70s they used to call these pills thigh openers.’ I want to scream ‘PAUSE!’ and freeze-frame that moment of my life. I want to grab that young girl, shake her back into reality and scream, ‘What the hell are you thinking?’”
Furthermore, “I learned Hef was the manipulator and that he pitted [the Playmates] against one another. I realized I wasn’t treated well. I’m done being afraid of people. I don’t have any loyalty to Hef. I haven’t talked to him in four years, so there’s no reason to reach out now. Besides, it’s the truth.”
And when she announced she was moving out, Holly received a strange offer- “It was there, in black and white. The will stated that $3,000,000 would be bestowed to Holly Madison at the time of his death (provided I still lived in the Mansion). At the time, it was more money than I’d ever know what to do with… But I didn’t want it. I actually pitied him for stooping to that level. I couldn’t help but be offended. Did he really think he could buy me? I put the folder back on the bed just as I had found it and never breathed a word of it.”
