Holly Madison is making some serious accusations in her new tell-all book about her life at the Playboy mansion while dating Hugh Hefner.
Madison alleges in her memoir Down the Rabbit Hole: Curious Adventures and Cautionary Tales of a Former Playboy Bunny, that she was emotionally abused by the Playboy founder, saying he controlled her, tried to buy her and offered her drugs the first night they met.
In excerpts obtained by Us Weekly, Madison, 35, now married to Pasquale Rotella, details her “truth.”
She wrote that Hefner offered her a Quaalude the night they met in 2001, referring to them “thigh openers.”
“I want to scream ‘PAUSE!’ and freeze-frame that moment of my life,” she wrote. “I want to grab that young girl, shake her back into reality and scream, ‘What the hell are you thinking?’”
Madison also accused Hefner of pitting her against other girls living in the house, likely Kendra Wilkinson and Bridget Marquardt.
“I realized I wasn’t treated well. I’m done being afraid of people. I don’t have any loyalty to Hef,” she wrote. “I haven’t talked to him in four years, so there’s no reason to reach out now. Besides, it’s the truth.”
Madison wants her daughter, Rainbow, 2, to read the book one day to “learn” from her mom’s mistakes. One of the biggest eye-openers Madison had, she wrote, was when Hefner tried to get her to stay by putting her in his will.
“The will stated that $3,000,000 would be bestowed to Holly Madison at the time of his death (provided I still lived in the Mansion),” she explained. “At the time, it was more money than I’d ever know what to do with… But I didn’t want it. I actually pitied him for stooping to that level. I couldn’t help but be offended. Did he really think he could buy me? I put the folder back on the bed just as I had found it and never breathed a word of it.”
