Holly Madison reveals hell with Hef in Playboy Mansion
NYPost.com ^ | Sunday, June 21, 2015 | Maureen Callahan

... In 2000, Hugh Hefner and the Playboy empire already seemed like a toothless relic. Yet as Madison writes in her new book, “Down the Rabbit Hole: Curious Adventures and Cautionary Tales of a Former Playboy Bunny” (Dey Street), life behind the mansion walls was darker than she could have imagined....

Then Hef approached her, bent over and opening one hand to reveal a bunch of pills nestled in an old tissue.

“Would you like a Quaalude?” he asked.

Madison was mortified. “No thanks,” she said. “I don’t do drugs.”

“Okay, that’s good,” Hef said. “Usually I don’t approve of drugs, but you know, in the ’70s they used to call these pills ‘thigh openers.’ ”

Looking back, she writes, that was the moment she should have left, never to return: “It doesn’t get much creepier than that.”....

Very quickly, Madison learned that everything about Hef’s life — and the lives of his girlfriends — was an illusion. The mansion itself was in grave disrepair, the carpeting stained with urine from his nine dogs. Most of the bedrooms had cheap, outdated and beat-up beds and dressers, and some of the girls taped over vents so they could smoke crystal meth without getting caught....

The girls played power games with each other but ultimately were pawns in Hefner’s larger game: He thrived on keeping them all at war, because it ­allowed him ultimate control....

She saw a shrink behind Hef’s back, and she came to realize that Hef picked women who were already vulnerable — herself included.

“We were all young,” Madison says. “He wasn’t interested in women over 28. None of us were from a big city or affluent backgrounds....

love and sex are two very separate things

you can love someone and have a life partner. but still enjoy the company of young females.

it’s natural and has been accepted by most cultures throughout history.

Not taking up for Hefner, but this article is very poorly written.
What one would expect from a real air head.

Sort of falls into the exact same category as defending a decrepit old lecher.

"enjoy the company of young females" in a sexual way or simply friendship ?

If you mean sexual, it's not natural or cultural acceptable for at least the last 2,000 years in Western civilization...

Eastern cultures, it is even frowned upon... unless you are under the control of the moon god cult...

"Live in the mansion, get $1000 a month"

It wasn't 1,000 a month according to the article.

"Hef also gave the girls a weekly clothing allowance of $1,000 and would pay for any plastic surgery they wanted."

If there were seven women, it would have been costing him approximately 364,000 a year for "clothing allowances."

If it’s just a business arrangement, then why does Hefner always refer to them as “girlfriends”, implying all they’re with him because they love him? Why doesn’t he call them “my paid mistresses”?

I would imagine he wants to avoid any legal hassles associated with openly admitting it's a prostitution arrangement.

It’s been unspoken acceptable in all cultures except American puritanism.

Every man of means and desire has had young mistresses since civilization existed

Yea, he’s open with his sexuality and likes to date multiple young women. 99.9% of men with the opportunity and balls would do the same

Right. Being a narcissistic hedonist and fornicating with sluts should be one's purpose in life.

Hef asked if she wanted to get high, Cosby “slips” the drugs to them unknowingly, and does it under non-dating conditions, Cosby is a rapist, and one or two comedians are brave enough to insult Cosby, which isn’t the media, or the left.

Where has the media and the left been for the last decade on the Cosby rapes?

Cosby is a good lefty, who despises republicans, was a part pf the Tawana Brawley rape hoax, and who is a big Obama supporter.

The term for it is whoring not dating. Most men don't seek out whores and when whores approach them, most men say no.

And it's not about "balls", it's about your own morals and frankly self-respect.

Gold digging whore tries to salvage salvageable reputation. Everybody knows that Hugh Hefner is a vile sleazebag living in a way that is borderline mental illness. He believes his own fantasy world and can’t see reality for what it is.

Sorry gold digging whore. I’m not buying your claimed regret. Sure, it must have been disgusting screwing a ratty old man, but you were thrilled by the lure of fame and hoped the exposure would lead to lucrative employment. You made your bed.

I never thought she was attractive anyway. All of these women go so far overboard with the complete smorgasbord of plastic surgery, they all end up looking like aliens occupying a dead human body. Puke. They are all insanely fit but few of them are genuinely attractive women.

I feel like I need a shower after just reading this thread but I have to say, yours was the hands down best response. It takes a MAN to love one woman a thousand times. Good job.

A spawn of Lucifer, Hugh Hefner will remain an untouched leftist icon.

The Left is always obsessed with sex...so Hefner is an admired hero. The morbid sexual ethos of the Left includes glorification of free love, birth control, abortion, homosexuality, lesbianism, gay marriage, transgenderism and "if it feels good, do it"

And, not suprisingly, there's always a trace of admiration and envy among a good percentage of other men when the subject of Hef comes up, even on this thread.

To me, the Bunnymaster and his cult of hedonistic women followers are equally vile and immoral, along with those in the media who have always glorified and promoted them and their life-styles.

I hope the Bunnymaster is hare today.....and gone tomorrow. The world would instantly be a better place without this sick, evil lecher/procurer consuming our oxygen.

oops. I meant “un-salvageable reputation”. Spell check only had the base word, so it flipped on me.

Engaging in endless pleasure doesn’t make someone a man... It’s makes you effeminate.
