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 Most of the bedrooms had cheap, outdated and beat-up beds and dressers, and some of the girls taped over vents so they could smoke crystal meth without getting caught....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

“44 Then, turning to the woman, he told Simon, “Do you see this woman? I came into your house. You didn’t give me any water for my feet, but this woman has washed my feet with her tears and dried them with her hair. 45 You didn’t give me a kiss,[h] but this woman, from the moment I came in, has not stopped kissing my feet. 46 You didn’t anoint my head with oil, but this woman has anointed my feet with perfume. 47 So I’m telling you that her sins, as many as they are, have been forgiven, and that’s why she has shown such great love. But the one to whom little is forgiven loves little.”
48 Then Jesus[i] told her, “Your sins are forgiven!”
49 Those who were at the table with them began to say among themselves, “Who is this man who even forgives sins?”
50 But Jesus[j] told the woman, “Your faith has saved you. Go in peace.” Luke 7:44-50
I fit into your .01%. Something about being old enough to be their father kills it for me and can’t imagine how being old enough to be their grandfather would be.
Fits in there with disgusting, manipulating, etc.
On the one hand, Hefner is a creep who exploits women but these tell-all stories are not new and Ms. Madison was more than willing to be exploited for fame, freebies and a sense of identity.
Sounds a bit like the porn starlet who was happy to rake in the money until she got too old and suddenly became a “victim”.
Boo. Hoo.
The true heroes in the story are the women who told Hef “hell, no” from the very start.
both were experiencing the end result of a subjectivistic moral code of hedonism, where pleasure is the standard of value.From the sound of it, it doesn’t end well.
So did Hefner lock all the playmates in the mansion? If not and things were that bad, why didn’t she leave?
..................
Because in exchange for her honor and dignity she received $1,000 per week for wardrobe money, unlimited salon beauty treatments and plastic surgery.
My pastor says that unrepentant man wants to be one of two people - Adolf Hitler or Hugh Hefner. One was absorbed in ultimate political power and unconcerned with how it affected anyone else but himself. The other is absorbed in personal self-gratification and unconcerned with how it affected anyone else but himself.
Our sin nature gravitates towards one or the other and only the realization that both paths ultimately lead to death and ruin causes us to seek a third direction - that of desiring to benefit others and serve God.
But, if there was no God, there’s no justification for not wanting live a life like Hitler or Hefner. If you live and you die and there’s no consequences in an afterlife, being Hitler or Hefner is the ultimate expression of self-will.
Accepting Christ is learning how to put Self to death and accepting His plans and His purpose for your life.
The same place (nowhere) that they have been with the Hollywood “moguls” molesting young men (and women) under 18 for the reward of a movie contract and possible fame.
Corey Feldman named names to Santa Barbara Police and nothing came of it. There are clues in his interviews as to who molested him and Corey Haim (deceased now). One (alleged) pedophile movie/record mogul is worth hundreds of millions if not more. Democrat, gay, and gives to the “right” political groups. Hollywood is a bunch of hypocrites.
I have no doubt that Hefner was a sex crazed egomaniac and there were drugs and who knows what other debauchery. What I’m saying is that Madison makes these claims and professes outrage, but she stayed with the old pervert for years. By doing so, most likely because of the financial rewards and prestige, her claims become suspect.
There is a whole “dating” site for this sole purpose. Sugardaddy.com or something similar.
Yup, she’s continuing to milk that cow.
She’s shocked it wasn’t a Sunday school picnic?
Does she include a pound of salt with each book purchase?
Hefner may be an immoral reprobate but he’s not stupid. I don’t think he’s ever been successfully prosecuted or sued for “date rape”.
Girls go into this with eyes wide open and they evidently sign all the legal agreements.
In Holly’s case here, she even admits that she did this to get a rent free place to live and an opportunity for a “glamorous” lifestyle.
In the end, she was just a well paid hooker.
Sure some men would act that way, but I know far more men who would not. I can assure you I wouldn’t want any part of his life and at no time in my past would I have wanted that life. Then again, I’m a Christian and family man and most of my friends are too.
Yes! Cosby was a great disappointment.
Where hell did he get quaaludes
They don’t need to make a woman’s sexual urge enhancer
That one worked like a charm in my day
Should be required for any middle aged woman who wants to jumpstart her engine especially during menopause
And no I am not joking
It’s much better than red wine or margaritas
No sloppiness
Probably some basis but a lot of embellishment
It’s been a common theme that he lines them up and gives them party favors and he takes Viagra and they all play with each other and then bang him cowgirl style given he’s too frail now to truly put one on a lady missionary or woof woof
You know sweaty and eyes rolling 20 something sex
Hair matted and sheets everywhere ....bed walking the room on a wood floor
I don’t see Hef doing that now and frankly after view that sex tape of his that leaked out I doubt he ever really ravished a woman
He just wanted them all over HIM and to watch THEM
Anyhow....the rest of it about the house in poor shape and him a tightwad
Believable
He was fun when I was a boy in the 60s but there has always been a darkness associated
The untimely death rate for playmates is very high
I’ve knew three playmates peripherally.....one pretty well....and only one ever admitted doing Hef but he did bang many of them....no question
Of those three who were late 79-81 era two are dead.....
Pretty well said
I only buy it the rare time they interview someone I like
It’s now edited by women and fags
Same direction all men’s mags from GQ to Esquire to Playboy end up
Penthouse never did
Guccione was a real man compared to Hef
Hef was like a horny hipster
She indicated he offered her ludes
Ludes are big and chalky
Hard to slip anyone
But where hell would be get them 30 years after the last ones were made
Nobody even makes the base anymore
