Holly Madison has revealed that Hugh Hefner ‘screamed at her’ for cutting her hair short during her time at the Playboy mansion.
The 41-year-old, who dated the late magazine publisher from 2001 until their split in 2008, made the claims in a teaser clip for the upcoming A & E docuseries Secrets of Playboy.
She alleged that Hef, who died in 2017 at the age of 91, told her that the haircut made her ‘look old, hard and cheap.’
Holly revealed that at the time she felt like she was in a ‘cycle of gross things’ and ‘didn’t know what to do.’
The mother-of-two opened the teaser clip, which dropped on the network’s YouTube page, explaining the alleged incident.
The blonde beauty moved into the Playboy mansion in August 2001 and became Hef’s number girlfriend soon after.
In October 2008, Holly revealed that they had split, five months after Hef said in an interview he doesn’t see himself marrying Holly because he didn’t have much luck with marriages.
Holly said: ‘I got to a point not too far into my time there – I think I was only six months in – where I kind of broke under that pressure and being made to feel like I needed to look exactly like everybody else.’
She continued: ‘My hair was really long naturally and I was just like, I’m gonna go chop my hair off so I can at least look a little different.’
Holly claims that Hef’s reaction was not positive at all: ‘I came back with short hair and he flipped out on me and he was screaming at me and said it make me look old, hard and cheap.’
She said: ‘I remember there were times probably within the first couple years I lived there when I felt like I was just in this cycle of gross things and I didn’t know what to do.’
Holly called her decision to be affiliated with Playboy was a ‘dangerous choice.’
In the ten-hour docuseries, Hef’s ex and former Playmate from 1976 until 1981, Sondra Theodore, claimed that there was drug use at the Playboy mansion.
She alleged that Hef ‘pretended that he wasn’t involved in any hard drug use at the mansion, but that was just a lie’ in another teaser clip.
‘Quaaludes down the line were used for sex,’ she claimed.
Quaaludes are a central nervous system depressant and formerly popular recreational drug during the 1960s until it was outlawed in the 1980s, according to Drugs.com.
Sondra said: ‘Usually you just took a half. But if you took took, you’d pass out. There was such a seduction, and men knew that they could get girls to do just about anything they wanted if they gave them a Quaalude,’ she claimed.
Hef’s former secretary and executive assistant, Lisa Loving Barrett, claimed that they would have ‘prescriptions’ of the drug in ‘some of our names.’
‘Quaaludes were what we called leg-spreaders. That was the whole point of them. They were a necessary evil, if you will, in partying,’ Lisa said.
Lisa, who worked for him from 1977 until 1989, said ‘there were prescriptions in Sondra’s name, in Hef’s name and in my name and Mary’s name… We kept a desk calender that would say “Lisa’s Q” or Hef’s Q” or “Sondra’s Q.”‘
She said that the money ‘enabled four of sometimes five prescriptions for the same medication to feed the machine.’
Bridget Marquardt, who was Hef’s girlfriend from 2001 until 2008 and part of Girls Next Door – a reality show on E! following her, Holly and Kendra Wilkinson as Hef’s girlfriends, spoke in the documentary as well.
