Holly Madison Reveals Shocking Secrets About Her Relationship with Hugh Hefner

by

Holly Madison is looking back at her life in the Playboy mansion.

As a lifestyle advisor, I’d put it this way: Reflecting back on my seven-year relationship with the legendary Hugh Hefner, I can’t help but share some insights. One aspect that stood out was our dynamic in the private realm, where I found myself less than enthused about the idea of sharing him in our intimate moments.

In a recent episode of Owen Thiele’s “In Your Dreams” podcast on May 2nd, I, Holly, shared my perspective. When it was just us two, things were different, but with everyone else in the room, it was a completely different story. To put it frankly, I despised that experience. I made sure to express my dislike loudly and clearly.

Despite her discomfort with group sex involving the Playboy founder, Holly – mother of Forest (8) and Rainbow (7), ex-wife of Pasquale Rotella – mentioned that their relationship felt more typical when they were alone, stating, “If it was just me and him, it seemed more normal than one might think.

Later on, Holly playfully disputed the assumption that their 53-year difference didn’t affect the nature of their relationship. In fact, when they began dating in 2001, she was 22 and Hugh, who passed away in 2017 at the age of 91, was already 75, which has caused some surprise throughout the years.

She went on to say, “Everyone seems to share a similar unsettling image of how unsightly an elderly person’s body might appear. At one point, it seemed like I couldn’t share anything without someone commenting something crude, like ‘old and disgusting,’ or the like. It’s possible that some men’s parts do become unpleasant with age, but I’ve never witnessed such a phenomenon.

In a reflection on their 2007 separation, the former Playboy star recounted an incident where Hugh placed a copy of his will on her side of the bed as she was preparing to depart from the mansion.

Reflecting on the situation, she mused, “I had ended things with him, yet he was attempting to persuade me to reconsider. It felt like a subtle offer or inducement, but it was also disappointing because he couldn’t discuss it with me openly.

On previous occasions, Holly has discussed her intricate relationship with Hugh, sharing that his departure made her realize he wasn’t an ideal match for her.

In her interview with TopMob News in January 2023, she explained that after leaving the relationship, she felt bewildered because it turned out that the idealized image of him she’d held onto throughout was more of a fantasy and self-created construct rather than reality. Essentially, she discovered that the person she thought she knew was actually a stranger to her.

Jason Kelce posted on Twitter in June 2024, commenting on a fan’s observation that he seems to not regularly clean his lower legs and feet, implying a peculiar individual who does so.

The retired Philadelphia Eagles player later doubled down on his comments.

On their podcast “New Heights,” he jokingly remarked, “What sort of psychopath takes care of someone else’s feet?” He went on to say, “If they have noticeable grime, I’ll gently remove it.

As a die-heart Twilight devotee, it’s been more than a decade since the movie heartthrob confessed about witnessing a clown’s demise in a fiery car accident at the circus during his childhood. But recently, he came clean and admitted that tale was nothing but a fabrication.

In a December 2024 interview with The New York Times Style Magazine, Robert shared that there was not the slightest hint of indecision in his response, saying it was more like, “Why in the world [is this happening]? Are you under some sort of influence?

As for what he said during the 2011 Today interview promoting his film Water for Elephants?

At that moment, he informed us that one of the clowns had unfortunately passed away. It seems his small car had a catastrophic explosion, which we could only describe as happening right before his eyes. The incident with the exploding joke car caused quite a panic and everyone quickly fled. It was a truly terrifying situation.

Grandma knows best.

Kim Kardashian openly discussed the impact that her grandmother, Mary Jo “MJ” Campbell, had on a personal moment with her former partner, Pete Davidson, during an episode of ‘The Kardashians’ in October 2022.

Kim Kardashian shared a memorable story with MJ, Kris Jenner, and Khloe Kardashian, recalling that she and Pete were lodged at the Beverly Hills Hotel over the past weekend. As they sat by the fireplace, they chatted for hours. She confessed to them that her grandmother had advised one lives life fully when making love in front of a fireplace. True to her grandmother’s words, Kim and Pete decided to honor this tradition by sharing an intimate moment near the fireplace.

Grandma’s reaction? A nod of approval.

Kim commented on how unsettling it can be to think about one’s grandmother during intimate moments,” she said. “To this, MJ responded with a nod to their past, saying, ‘Yes, I understand. We were all young at some point.’

In the closely bonded family of Mila Kunis and her husband Ashton Kutcher, which encompasses their 8-year-old daughter Wyatt and 6-year-old son Dimitri, love transcends all limits.

So much so, that the Black Swan actress revealed they keep an open-door policy at home.

She informed TopMob News in September 2022 that it encompasses the bathroom. It’s a situation where, whether good or bad, our family and children have come to accept bodily functions as a common aspect of everyday life.

Mila made up her mind following repeated requests from her family to enter, eventually leading her to say:”Well, never mind. Just leave the door unlocked.

Pre-kids, she might not have imagined she’d flush that particular boundary away.

She commented, “I wouldn’t have imagined I could be the one who uses an open bathroom door.

Ghouls just want to have fun.

In the spirit of exploring unique lifestyle perspectives, let me share a thought-provoking query that surfaced among us panelists in one of our recent discussions. During an October 2022 episode, I found myself pondering aloud: “Could it be possible to conceive if one were to engage intimately with a spectral entity?

Luckily for her, Joy Behar, the co-host, provided a response. She humorously mentioned, “I’ve been intimate with a handful of spirits, but I’ve never conceived.

In response, Whoopi Goldberg casually replied, “I’ll let it go as is, I believe some of you might have caught what Joy mentioned earlier, so I won’t comment further on that.

Jenna Bush Hager and Hoda Kotb have a close bond, although there’s one fact about her Today show co-host that Hoda wasn’t aware of. During the preparations for an episode of Today with Hoda and Jenna, Hoda found out that Jenna often doesn’t wear underwear.

During a recent episode of “Today with Hoda and Jenna,” I found myself in a situation where my partner and I had to rush back to our changing area. However, it struck me that unlike me, my co-host Jenna always skips undergarments!

Jenna’s rationale? Well, no underwear might just be more convenient to her.

She remarked, “It creates a more attractive outline, I believe.” Furthermore, she added, “There are numerous advantages to it – it requires less packing, for one.

Looks like someone hasn’t been keeping up.

Britney Spears admitted that she was unaware of who Pete Davidson and Scott Disick were, echoing Keke Palmer’s popular phrase “you could be walking down the street, I wouldn’t recognize you.

Sharing again on Instagram an amusing March video featuring Pete, who was previously dating Kim Kardashian and Scott (ex-partner of Kourtney Kardashian), having a “guys’ night out.” Britney found their antics particularly hilarious.

Apologies for the repeat, but here it is again! I’m not sure who these folks in the video are, but their antics had me rolling with laughter!!!

Before Chris Evans became widely recognized as Captain America and People’s Sexiest Man Alive for 2022, Jana Kramer had known him as the “handsome, charming guy” she went out on a few dates with.

Approximately 10 years back, the artist shared this detail during an episode of her podcast, “Whine Down with Jana Kramer” in November. Regrettably, she doesn’t precisely remember the number of dates they had, but she distinctly remembers their final meeting.

At approximately 26 years of age, Jana mentioned that Chris had extended an invitation for her to visit his residence, as he was hosting friends from Boston at the time.

Jana recalled, “The last thing I can recall is him heading into the bathroom shortly after I had left following an asparagus-scented pee. We didn’t have a romantic encounter that night. Instead, he spent the rest of the evening with his friends, and eventually in the morning, I found myself awkwardly leaving his house after the ‘asparagus walk of shame.’

She added, “I never heard from him again.”

Not all of these confessions are amusing.

Eight years following her revelation in an ELLE article about her struggle with a rare form of bone cancer, it was disclosed in December that show writer Elisabeth Finch’s diagnosis was actually fabricated. The false diagnosis had even been the basis for a storyline on Grey’s Anatomy.

Elisabeth shared with The Ankler newsletter on December 7th that she made a huge mistake by lying when she was 34 years old. This deception continued to grow and become more difficult for her to deal with over time, ultimately becoming deeply ingrained within her.” Additionally, she clarified, “I’ve never had any form of cancer.

In simpler terms, Finch, who temporarily stepped down from the ABC medical drama and later resigned, expressed regret by saying, “What I did was not right. It was wrong. I made a mistake. These are just some of the ways I put it.

Beauty is pain, but Kim Kardashian might be able to stomach it.

As a devoted enthusiast, I’d express my determination to The New York Times regarding maintaining a youthful look, admitting that I wouldn’t hesitate to explore nearly any method at my disposal.

In June, she expressed that if someone assured her she’d appear younger by eating feces daily, she wouldn’t rule it out entirely. She put it this way: “I might just do it.

During an interview with Allure in July 2022, Kim clarified that her previous statement might have been a joke, but it wasn’t entirely unappealing to her.

Reflecting on it now, Kim remarked, “In all honesty, I might even consider eating dirt if someone assured me that consuming a daily bowl of ‘poop’ would make me appear more youthful.

She indicated that there might be just enough space, saying to the outlet, “Perhaps only a small portion,” she suggested. “I doubt I can accommodate an entire bowl.

Jelly Roll could’ve used some saving from himself.

During an interview on “The Jennifer Hudson Show” in April 2025, the artist known for “Save Me” openly shared his most mortifying experience without mincing words.

“I pooped myself one time,” he admitted. “I did, I’m sorry.”

However, it’s important to note that Jelly Roll (real name Jason Bradley DeFord) likely wasn’t anticipating the severe impact he would inflict.

He firmly stated, “I believed it was only empty space.” Apologetically, he added, “I regret to say, the affection that crowd once had for me has vanished entirely now.
