I thought that was an interesting article that came out. I give Holly a lot of credit for being honest in her book. Makes me think that The Girls Next Door was so much more fake than most of us believed.

Things got dark in the Playboy mansion.

Apparently being Hugh Hefner's numero uno bunny isn't all it's cracked up to be. Holly Madison reveals in her new tell-all, Down the Rabbit Hole: Curious Adventures and Cautionary Tales of a Former Playboy Bunny that she was so miserable while she lived in the mansion that she attempted suicide.
In the book, out June 23, Holly explains that dating the Playboy mogul, "a man who was old enough to be my grandfather," drove her to despair.

She recalls lying in the bath at the Playboy mansion in 2002 contemplating drowning herself. "If I just put my head under water and take a deep breath in, it would all be over," she writes. "I wondered, would anyone even miss me?"
"Maybe it was the pot and the alcohol, but drowning myself seemed like the logical way to escape the ridiculous life I was leading."
For anyone who tuned into The Girls Next Door as an, err, guilty pleasure, it seemed like Hugh's seven gals had a lavishly fun life, but according to Holly they were all actually "vacant," and just "going through the motions."

"Everyone thinks that the infamous metal gate was meant to keep people out. But I grew to feel it was meant to lock me in."

Holly said that Hugh, now 89, cultivated a hostile environment in which the women were pitted against each other.
When Holly ultimately decided to leave, she says in her book that Playboy Enterprises tried to bribe her to stay by offering to put her in Hef's 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). 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," she wrote in an excerpt quoted by Us Weekly.
Holly is now happily married with a 2-year-old daughter, Rainbow, who she hopes will someday read her book.
"I want her to understand why I made the choices I made," Madison told Us. "And hopefully learn from them and not make stupid mistakes herself."

She stayed in that situation long enough to make a lot of money from it.

I don't trust this book. She'll have sex with an old man for money so I'm sure she'll tell a lie or two to make a buck.

I believe her. It doesn't seem like a healthy environment to be in. You get to live somewhere for free, have things paid for you, but you're sleeping with a man who's old enough to be your grandfather, along with a bunch of other girls.

You're an adult, yet you have a curfew. Another adult is basically controlling your life. I'm sure the novelty of living in the Playboy Mansion wore off very quickly.

I think I read in another bunny's book that bedtime is at 9:00? (Don't quote me on this.) But that's ridiculous for women in their late 20's and early 30s....I feel like the payoff is your getting a somewhat generous allowance for someone who doesn't work, but in return, you have to sleep with him, and he gets to control a lot of the rules and most of the things that you can do. I'm sure all the parties and meeting celebrities wear off eventually, and you just want to live your life for you and how you want to live it.


Also, I am definitely not saying this for all the girls, they were all in it to make a buck IMO but when you look at Kendra's story, (I read her book as well, it actually doesn't talk a bunch about the mansion in it), she really grew up with nothing in a trailer park. I don't think she could have gone to college or done anything like that with the funds that she and her family had....I'm DEF not saying that she did the best she could given the situation because you do not need to shack up with an older man for money just because you're living in poverty, but she probably saw it as a means to a better life for herself.

That's what I think. Now that the money and fame are drying up, she can extend the attention by writing a book.
