LOS ANGELES, Calif. (TDR) — Former Playboy model Holly Madison is pulling back the curtain once again on life inside Hugh Hefner’s infamous mansion, describing a sex act she was pressured to participate in as “disgusting” and one she “hated” every time.

Speaking on Owen Thiele’s In Your Dreams podcast, Madison admitted she dreaded the group encounters that Hefner mandated for his girlfriends, despite the illusion of glamour surrounding his empire. “Everybody else in the room, no. That was disgusting. I hated it,” she confessed. “I made it very known I hated it.”

Group Encounters as “Chores”

Madison explained that sex with Hefner alone was far different than the orchestrated group activities. “If it was just me and him, it was a lot more normal than you would think,” she said. But in the group setting, it felt compulsory—an obligation tied to residence at the mansion.

Her comments echoed earlier statements made in 2015 to BuzzFeed News, when she described how sex parties occurred like clockwork twice a week. “It was always Wednesdays and Fridays after the club. It was always exactly the same because that’s just how he likes to live his life,” Madison revealed at the time.

Girlfriends were expected to participate, and refusing was not an option. “They knew it was kind of a quote-unquote requirement for living there, and expected. And it had kind of a chore vibe, I felt,” she explained.

Living With the Age Gap

Madison also addressed the stark 53-year age difference between her and Hefner, who died in 2017 at the age of 91. She admitted she was well aware of public commentary, often fielding crude remarks online about their relationship.

“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 told Thiele. But Madison brushed it off with a mix of humor and defiance, adding: “Maybe some people’s balls do get old and nasty, but I’ve never seen such a thing.”

Still, she admitted she and Hefner often kept the lights off, joking, “There’s a saying: ‘All cats are grey in the dark.’”

A Legacy Under Scrutiny

Hefner’s carefully crafted image as a libertine visionary has faced mounting scrutiny in recent years, particularly following the Secrets of Playboy docuseries, which aired harrowing accounts of coercion and abuse. Madison’s comments build on that narrative, further exposing the rigid control Hefner exercised over the women in his orbit.

Her testimony is part of a broader cultural reckoning about power imbalances, exploitation, and the hidden costs of glamour industries. What was once seen as eccentric indulgence is now increasingly viewed through the lens of coercion and manipulation.

Will Madison’s candid recollections reshape how Hefner’s legacy is remembered, or will the Playboy empire remain untouchable in popular imagination?
