Brace yourselves—Holly Madison is pulling zero punches. The former Playboy Bunny and longtime girlfriend of Hugh Hefner just dropped a bombshell about her time inside the infamous Playboy Mansion—and it’s darker than anyone imagined.
In a raw and jaw-dropping appearance on the In Your Dreams With Owen Thiele podcast, Holly didn’t mince words. She called her sex life with Hefner “disgusting,” revealing she was forced into degrading group sex and stripped of her independence behind those gilded gates.
“I hated it,” she confessed. “Especially when there were other people involved. It was just disgusting.”
Yep—this isn’t the glam fantasy the Playboy empire sold to the world. Behind the champagne and silk robes? A twisted web of control, silence, and power plays.
According to reports, Hefner’s girlfriends weren’t even allowed to live independently. “You couldn’t have an apartment,” Holly said. “You weren’t allowed to date anyone else. You weren’t even allowed to criticize Hef.”
She likened the Mansion to a cult, comparing it to Scientology—where anyone who dares speak out is cut off completely. “I felt like I was being excommunicated,” Holly revealed, describing how even her happiness after leaving was met with resentment.
And this isn’t the first time the cracks in Playboy’s glossy image have been exposed. After Hefner’s death in 2017, the floodgates opened. Former Bunnies, docuseries, and ex-employees have come forward with horror stories that clash wildly with the brand’s party-boy legacy.
But Holly’s latest truth bomb hits harder than ever. This isn’t just tea—it’s scalding. And it’s forcing fans, critics, and Hollywood itself to take another long, uncomfortable look at the price of glamour in the Hefner era.
Turns out, the Playboy Mansion wasn’t a dream palace. It was a gilded cage—and Holly’s finally free to tell the world.
