Hugh Hefner Playboy Mansion Shocking Revelations
Earlier this month, former Playboy bunny Holly Madison appeared on the In Your Dreams podcast, where she reflected on her experience living in Hugh Hefner's notorious mansion. Madison recalled having 'disgusting' group sex with Hefner and other then-Playmates — something that she has detailed numerous times over the years since she started denouncing her time at the mansion. Here's a reminder of some of the most shocking claims that she and other ex-Playmates have made about their experiences: 1. Last year, Madison shared that the mansion was full of trays of 'makeshift lube' everywhere. 'In every bathroom, out on the tennis courts, by the pool, and it would be a tray with Kleenex, Pepto Bismol, Vaseline, baby oil, sunscreen — any kind of makeshift lube,' she told People. 'It was weird.' 2. A couple of years prior, Madison alleged that Hefner used baby oil as lube against her will. 'I remember talking to the gynecologist about it and then telling Hef, 'You need to stop using the baby oil. I can't use it,'' she shared on her podcast, Girls Next Level. 'Even telling him the gynecologist agreed with me, he would argue with me and be like, 'Well, people use baby oil on babies.' And I'm like, 'Yeah, on their skin. Not internally. You're not supposed to put it there.'' 3. In 2021, ex-Playmate Sondra Theodore — who dated Hefner for five years in the late '70s and early '80s — claimed that quaaludes (sedative-hypnotic drugs) were 'used for sex' in the mansion. She alleged, 'It was such a seduction, and the men knew this — that they could get girls to do just about anything they wanted if they gave them a quaalude.' 4. A couple of years later, Madison said that she once raised concerns about the quaaludes with Hefner himself. She shared on her podcast, 'I remember asking him once, 'Aren't you scared to give those quaaludes out? What if somebody overdosed?'' before noting that he allegedly replied, 'Yeah, that's a thought,' before brushing it off. 'He just didn't care and was so nonchalant,' she said. 5. Last year, Hefner's widow, Crystal, made heartbreaking claims that animals were abused at the mansion, which had an on-site zoo. 'Even with the window shut, I could hear their plaintive voices in my mind. 'Help, help,' they cawed and wailed — at least that's what it sounded like to me,' she wrote in her 2024 book, Only Say Good Things: Surviving Playboy and Finding Myself. 6. In the 2022 docuseries Secrets of Playboy, Theodore claimed that she once walked in on Hefner engaging in sexual activity with her dog. 'I walked in on him with my dog and I said, 'What are you doing?' I was shocked,' she recalled. 'He made it seem like it was just a one-time thing, and that he was just goofing off. But I never left him alone with my dog again.' 7. Madison said in 2023 that Hefner hated some of the girls wearing red lipstick because he wanted them to look 'young and fresh-faced.' She said, 'He wanted skimpy and fresh-faced and very young looking.' 8. The year prior, Madison said that age 28 'was the death mark' at the mansion — and the women were made to feel it. 'Every once in a while they would have a Playmate who was older than that, but it was pretty rare. And if somebody was 28 they would always note that,' she said. 'I wonder how much even that affected me, spending my early 20s hearing, 'You're kind of done by 28.'' 9. Madison once famously claimed that Hefner kept a 'mountain' of revenge porn, which she alleged included pictures of women taken while they were 'wasted out of their minds.' As a result, she said she was 'afraid to leave' the mansion for so long in case the photos were leaked — though Crystal Hefner said she eventually found and destroyed the photos. 10. Both Madison and ex-Playmate Bridget Marquardt have alleged that Hefner could be 'abrasive' at times — notably after Madison got a haircut that he didn't like, which she said prompted him to call her 'old, hard, and cheap.' 11. In 2022, Madison recalled 'The Recruiter' (whom she said was another Playmate) ordering her to sleep with Hefner for the first time. She said, 'I was just another piece of meat for her to throw under him so she looks better.' 12. Marquadt also said of her experience sleeping with Hefner for the first time: 'The Recruiter came up to me and said, 'You're gonna go, right?' I was hoping that I could just observe and not participate… 'cause I was definitely not ready, and didn't want to.' Marquadt recalled telling The Recruiter that she wasn't 'ready to do this yet,' only to be told that she wouldn't be invited back if she didn't. She eventually slept with Hefner, which left her feeling 'icky,' disappointed, and embarrassed. 13. Madison said that Hefner pressured her to quit her part-time waitressing job because 'it made him jealous,' and that he gave the Playmates a weekly allowance of $1,000 each to encourage them not to get jobs. She said, 'I kept my waitressing job at just, like, one day a week because I wanted just to have something easy to go back to, should things not work out. He said it made him jealous, and he would appreciate it if I quit my job.' 14. That same year, Marquardt claimed that Hefner would keep track of the Playmates' allowances in a notebook that he kept locked away in a safe. 'The black book kept track of a few different things. It kept track of when somebody collected their allowance — he would mark it off so you couldn't ask for it twice,' she said. 15. Madison also said that sometimes Hefner would give some of the Playmates 'a report' that detailed 'how good of a job they were doing,' which he put together by keeping 'track of who he had sex with' and on what nights. 16. Madison once revealed that she and some of the other mansion residents were not on birth control. 'I don't know who was and wasn't on birth control — I wasn't — but I just don't think anyone ever felt for a second that they were gonna get pregnant from Hef,' she said, later adding: 'I just don't think any of us ever thought for a second that we were in danger of getting pregnant by him.' 17. Finally, Madison described the mansion as 'cult-like' in 2022, stating: 'It was so easy to get isolated from the outside world there. You had a 9 o'clock curfew. You were encouraged to not have friends over. You weren't really allowed to leave unless it was like a family holiday.'

Hugh Hefner's Ex Recalls 'Disgusting' Sex — And That's Not Even Most Surprising Thing
Ex-Playboy playmate Holly Madison revealed group sex with boyfriend Hugh Hefner was no turn-on, and that private nooky with the mogul happened with the lights off. (Watch the video below.) On the May 2 podcast of 'In Your Dreams,' the 'Girls Next Door' reality star was asked to dish on doing the deed at the Playboy mansion. 'Was Hugh good in bed?' host Owen Thiele asked. 'Well, it's a very different story between when we were just by ourselves than with everybody else in the room,' she said. 'Everybody else in the room, no. That was disgusting. I hated it. I made it very known I hated it.' As for their traditional encounters, she recalled, 'If it was just me and him, it was ... a lot more normal than you would think.' Madison, now 45, was 53 years younger than Hefner, who died in 2017 at 91. She complained that trolls on social media repeatedly taunted her with 'old balls' remarks. 'Maybe some people's balls do get old and nasty, but I've never seen such a thing,' she said. 'So his balls were great?' Thiele inquired. 'So far as I could tell,' Madison answered. 'Did he turn off the lights?' the host asked. 'Yeah,' she replied. 'I mean there's a saying: All cats are gray in the dark.' In 2022, Madison revealed that she and Hefner, whom she dated between 2001 and 2008, clashed when she asked him to stop using baby oil as a lubricant because it led to infections.

Holly Madison details ‘disgusting' group sex with Hugh Hefner at Playboy mansion
Holly Madison has opened up about her former boyfriend, Hugh Hefner, and how she 'hated' group sex sessions at the Playboy Mansion. Holly, 45, moved into the Playboy Mansion in 2001 when she was 21, officially becoming one of Hefner's girlfriends. Despite the 53-year-old age gap, the couple was together for seven years until 2008 when she moved out of the mansion. Reflecting on their relationship and her time in the house, Holly revealed that she 'hated' having group sex. 'Well, it's a very different story between when we were just by ourselves than with everybody else in the room,' she said when asked if her former husband was good in bed. 'Everybody else in the room, no that was disgusting. I hated it. I made it very known I hated it. 'But if it was just me and him, it was a lot more normal than you would think,' she said on the In Your Dreams podcast, and spoke with host Owen Thiele. 'I think everybody has this real horror story of how gross an old man's body must be,' she said, adding that they always turned off the lights when they were intimate and joked 'all cats are grey in the dark.' 'I feel like there was a time when I couldn't post anything without some dumba*s in the comments like, 'Oh, old balls,' or something like that. 'Maybe some people's balls do get old and nasty, but I've never seen such a thing.' Elsewhere in the podcast, she spoke about what made her fall in love with him. 'I think just the fact that he was so interesting and iconic – I mean that didn't hurt – but also I would never go for a guy just because he's rich. When you're a young girl in LA, you get approached by all kinds of gross rich guys. 'It was just more that he was so iconic and accomplished and interesting, and when you meet him when you're first coming up to the parties and stuff, and he's the perfect gentleman, and it's all very intriguing.' In March 2024, Holly spoke again about the 'weird' environment in the Playboy Mansion. 'They would have these trays everywhere, like in every bathroom, out on the tennis courts, by the pool, and it would be a tray with Kleenex, Pepto Bismol, Vaseline, baby oil, sunscreen – any kind of makeshift lube,' she told People. 'It was weird.' 'My experiences that played with the negative parts of it are more related to the relationship and the relationship dynamics, both with Hef and some of the other girls,' she said. 'I 100 percent enjoyed posing for the magazine. I was always a fan of the pictorials. I always wanted to be in Playboy. And I even worked at the studio producing the playmate pictorials for a couple of years, and that was a super fun experience. So, it's very multifaceted for me.' In 2022, Holly called the group sex sessions 'hell' while on her podcast Girls Next Level with fellow ex-Playmate Bridget Marquardt. 'He wouldn't move. He would be like a bump on the log in the middle of the bed. I can't explain to you guys how embarrassing that whole routine was. Especially as we got later down the road when there would be, like, a lot of conflict with the other girls,' she said 'You're literally sitting there naked having sex in front of a group of people who hate you and talk s**t about you while you're having sex, and you can hear it. It was just, like, hell.' She also spoke about being pressured into having an orgy with other playmates. 'I thought I would have a chance to see what was going on, see if I was comfortable with it,' she said. 'I just remember feeling so gross and so used. I felt like this girl was being so nice to me and so welcoming, but really I was just another piece of meat for her to throw under him so she looks better.' She also previously revealed on her podcast that she constantly had infections because of baby oil usage: 'Hef would use baby oil as lube. I do not recommend this. It is an infection waiting to happen. More Trending 'It's disgusting. I don't know what his hang-up was with it. It took it to the point where I was constantly irritated by this baby oil because it throws off your pH, so you're constantly going to have yeast infections.' She added: 'I remember talking to the gynaecologist about it and then telling Hef, 'You need to stop using baby oil. I can't use it,' and even telling him the gynaecologist agreed with me, and he would argue with me and be like, 'Well people use baby oil on babies.' 'And I'm like, 'Yeah, on their skin. Not internally. You're not supposed to put it there.'' Got a story?

Holly Madison says she 'hated' some 'disgusting' sex acts with 'Playboy' owner Hugh Hefner: 'I made it very known'
Reality star Holly Madison has a complicated view of her time dating Playboy magazine founder and editor-in-chief Hugh Hefner. But she unequivocally "hated" some things she did while living at the Playboy Mansion. During a playful conversation on a recent episode of the In Your Dreams with Owen Thiele podcast about rumors that the sprawling Los Angeles estate is haunted, Madison darkly joked, "I really love that stuff, so I always thought that was kind of intriguing and fun. The scary stuff is some of the other girls you have to deal with, or what's going to happen in the bedroom on night two." When asked if Hefner, with whom she had an eight-year relationship and who was 75 to Madison's 22 when they began dating in 2001, was good in bed, Madison said, "It's a very different story between when we were by ourselves than with everybody else in the room." And when other residents and guests of the Playboy Mansion were present? "That was disgusting. I hated it. I made it very known I hated it," Madison revealed. Madison became a fixture of aughts pop culture when she began starring on The Girls Next Door, a reality show chronicling life inside the Playboy Mansion, alongside fellow Playboy models Bridgette Marquardt and Kendra Wilkinson. After Hefner died in 2017 at the age of 91, Madison, Marquardt, Wilkinson, and others began speaking out about the dark side of dating Hefner and living in the Playboy Mansion. In the 2021 A&E docuseries Secrets of Playboy, Madison recalled Hefner "screaming at me" that a haircut "made me look old, hard, and cheap." Marquardt said that "Hef would be pretty abrasive in the way he said things to Holly" in particular, with Madison remembering, "There were times probably within the first couple years that I lived there when I felt like I was just in this cycle of gross things and I didn't know what to do." Madison told Thiele, "If it was just me and him, it was very, like, a lot more normal than you would think," adding that "everybody has this horror story" in their minds of "how gross an old man's body must be.""I feel like there was a time when I couldn't post anything without some dumbass in the comments like, 'Oh, old balls,' or something like that," she said. "Maybe some people's balls do get old and nasty, but I've never seen such a thing." She also revealed she was asked to join the cast of the first U.S. season of the reality series The Traitors, but passed on the opportunity. "It hadn't been on the air so I didn't know what it was, and I thought that they thought I was a traitor because I wrote a book about Hef," Madison said, referring to her 2016 book The Vegas Diaries: Romance, Rolling the Dice, and the Road to Reinvention, which details the ups and down of her time with Hefner. "I was like, 'I'm not falling for that, I'm not going on your stupid show where I'm supposed to be a villain cuz I'm a traitor, f--- you. So I didn't do it, but now I regret it."

Former Playboy model Holly Madison admits bedroom activities she didn't like to do with Hugh Hefner
Holly Madison revealed the bedroom activities she wasn't fond of during her time in the Playboy mansion. Madison, now 45, opened up about her sex life with longtime partner Hugh Hefner while appearing on the podcast "In Your Dreams." "Well, it's a very different story between when we were just, like, by ourselves than with everybody else in the room," Madison said when asked if Hefner was good in bed. "Everybody else in the room, no. That was disgusting. I hated it. I made it very known I hated it." "But if it was just me and him, it was a lot more normal than you would think," she explained. "I would not think it would be normal, to be honest," podcast host Owen Thiele noted. "Nobody does," Madison responded while laughing. I think everybody has this, like, real horror story of like, how gross an old man's body must be." Madison, a former Playboy model and one of Hugh Hefner's longtime girlfriends, left the Playboy Mansion in 2008. In her new interview, Madison admitted she was written into the magazine founder's will at one point before she left the lifestyle behind. Hefner died on Sept. 27, 2017. He was 91. "I was put in the will at one point," she told Thiele. "And this is kind of sad. But when I broke up with him, I was packing my stuff. And then one day … there was a folder set out on my side of the bed because he knows I'm going to look at it. Like everybody knows I'm the biggest snoop in the house." "So I look at it, and it's his will all printed out, all the details. This is who's getting what and ... he was leaving me $3 million," Madison claimed. "But it was kind of sad though, because I'd already broken it off with him, and he was trying to get me to stay. So it was kind of like a low-key bribe but also sad because he can't, like, sit me down and talk to me about it." The "Girls Next Door" star went her separate way and said she later earned the $3 million left behind on her own. Madison was 21 when she moved into the Playboy Mansion. She made her exit at age 29 after wrapping "The Girls Next Door," a reality TV series about Hefner's multiple girlfriends. In 2016, she wrote a memoir, "Down the Rabbit Hole," alleging years of verbal and emotional abuse. Looking back at her experience, Madison would advise any hopeful model making her way to Hollywood for a big break to look at the "cautionary tales" of others before diving in. "I remember being 18 and 19 and thinking I was such a badass and that I could just take on the world and that I could have sex like a man and have no emotional attachment," she reflected in an interview with Fox News Digital. "But it's really not like that. Doing things like that carries a lot of emotional weight. I think looking into people's stories who are honest about all the sides of the industry is a really good thing to do. And look at some of the cautionary tales before you just dive in." On Monday, Madison is kicking off season 3 of Investigation Discovery's true-crime series, "The Playboy Murders," which explores high-profile tragedies and crimes associated with the iconic magazine brand.
