... 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 Most of the bedrooms had cheap, outdated and beat-up beds and dressers, and some of the girls taped over vents so they could smoke crystal meth without getting caught....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....

There is no woman so stupid that she would not see the arrangement as anything other than what it was: being a "kept" mistress, given a place to live, some money, and maybe a chance to be picked up by some rich old man to sweeten his last years in exchange for inheritance.
The article is worth reading at the NY Post site, for those who haven’t.
What one would expect from a real air head.
No grasp of reality, no continuity...just disjointed rambling.
Freedom of speech is a wonderful thing. It usually exposes air heads almost immediately..
Again not in defense of Hefner, but to point out that her story is a disjointed jumbled up mess. The ramblings of an air head.
and all other girls I’ve known who knew Hef believe these are all lies
word on her is she had an obsession with him all her life and lost it when he didn’t marry. a crazy stalker that Hef let get waaay too close. she wasn’t as attractive and jealous of other girls too
I’d like to rip that Temple t-shirt off him and stuff it down his throat.
do you expect him to sit in a rocking chair the rest of his days?
how many old dudes wouldnt mind some bunnies to hang with
Having gone to Temple myself I know exactly what you mean.
I agree. All a business arrangement of immorality IMHO. He has the house and money—she has a pretty face and a hot body. At the end of the day, they both got what they wanted.
We all understand Hefner is a reprobate. He had a lifelong reputation for...debauchery.
I don’t doubt this woman’s account of the life inside the “playboy” mansion. Men like Hefner are petty and and self absorbed.
He has lived his entire life in the pursuit to ejaculate. It is just gross.
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”?
Read the whole article, the thing that stands out is the total lack of emotion involved.
That’s what so annoying about Hefner - the deliberate lies, the hypocrisy.
The left didn’t do anything to Cosby, and Cosby is Hef’s best friend.
A couple of Cosby’s drugging rapes took place at the mansion.
Like everyone that knows Cosby, Hef hasn’t come out fighting for Cosby.
Either I'm part of the 0.1%, or you're wrong. There ARE strong men out there who love their wives with a passion that Hugh Hefner only dreams about. It's easy to love a 1,000 women once. It take a real man to love one woman a 1,000 times.
I couldn't care less what that sorry old letch does. His "empire" is a dinosaur, almost as anachronistic as he himself.
And while "old dudes" might fantasize about hanging with some "bunnies," I suspect they might prefer a companion who actually cared about them and was willing to put up with their declining health and libido rather than some hottie whose IQ is smaller than her bra size.
Leftist comics and commentary have been making all sorts of jeers against Bill Cosby for being “rapey”.
Hef slips women ludes to date rape them and all is chill.
Look, I've got little sympathy for these dames. There's a reason why Hef had dozens of hot blonde hotties next to him, and why hundreds of women enter the porn industry a day. They all want money, fame, and power.
Not taking up for Holly, but your post was rather poorly written.
“... why does Hefner always refer to them as “girlfriends”, implying all they’re with him because they love him?”
For the sake of kicks and grins, let’s flip the coin.. shall we? Maybe Hef is the “victim” of capped teeth/fake boobs, bottle blonde hair women who were after his money/paid surgeries/beauty treatments/parties/lavish lifestyles. Maybe he was looking for a good woman to settle down with and all he could find were gals who were willing to exploit their bodies, tell him that they loved him only to leave for greener pastures. Sound ridiculous? Yeah, maybe.. but if HE was the one who wrote a tell all book and wanted to paint himself as a victim, he could use this line of thinking.
Not saying at all that any of these people aren’t the scum of the earth. What I am saying is this: I will leave any compassion or kind feelings for the true victims of today. The victims of horrible abuse where a person/girl/boy/woman/man has no power or control over their lives. For example, human trafficking of children. THOSE are victims. I did read the whole article and lack of emotion is probably a common theme in a prostitute’s life. Just because this gal has her teeth capped, wears nice clothes and doesn’t have track lines doesn’t make her anything more than that. She accepted the conditions. If she wanted “love”, maybe she could have found real love with a working, Godly man who would have married her, given her his last name and etched out a life for the two of them. But Godly, good men don’t always live in mansions, have servants, posh cars, and a safe full of money.
Who cares what some whore says about some dirtbag...they all deserve each other.
