No subject how a lot time passes, Holly Madison’s bombshell claims about the Playboy Mansion by no means fail to ruffle some bunny feathers.

Madison dated Hugh Hefner from 2001 to 2008, with E! cameras documenting three years of her romance with the Playboy founder on The Girls Next Door. While she was once Hefner’s “main girlfriend” after his cut up from Tina Jordan, Madison was known as a part of a trio along Bridget Marquardt and Kendra Wilkinson.

The Holly’s World alum to start with detailed her time in the mansion in her 2015 memoir, Down the Rabbit Hole: Curious Adventures and Cautionary Tales of a Former Playboy Bunny, alleging that Hefner introduced the women medicine and detailing the atypical regulations and rules among the ladies.

“I assumed I was an adult and thought I was making my loose selection. And I was,” she wrote about her resolution to move into the mansion. “But I wasn’t subtle or in point of fact prepared. And roughly got in over my head. … I could know how other folks concept it was once ordinary. But I assume I wasn’t at ease enough to explain why I believed it will be amusing or why I thought it will be a good idea.”

More than 5 years after the memoir made headlines, Madison got candid about her relationship — and sex existence — with Hefner right through an appearance on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast.

“I started to really feel like I used to be in love with him,” Madison informed host Alex Cooper. “Looking again at it, it was once a very Stockholm syndrome more or less factor where I felt like I identified with him, he was once complimenting me such a lot, I started, in my mind, started blaming the entire different problems at the different ladies.”

Hefner and Madison cut up in 2008 after Marquardt and Wilkinson determined to transport out too.

“He began lashing out at me more for in reality stupid issues and I just discovered, like, I can’t be here, like, this man is an a—hollow. But even nonetheless, I felt guilty leaving,” she recalled to Cooper. “It took time, it took me being inquisitive about some other man sooner than I in the end used to be like, ‘I've to drag the plug because I’m not gonna cheat.’ It simply goes along with all the love-bombing stuff and the ‘We’re gonna be together perpetually, and we’re gonna be together the remainder of my lifestyles’ and blah, blah, blah. He would examine me to Belle in Beauty and Beast, like, I just came alongside to this fortress.”
