Holly Madisonis opening up more about her experience as a Playboy Bunny and one ofHugh Hefner’s many girlfriends.
During a recent appearance on thePower: Hugh Hefnerpodcast, Madison, 41, recalled being invited to spend a night out with Hefner, who died in 2017. She said she was “nervous” at the time for the evening, noting that she was hoping to be invited to live in the Playboy Mansion because one of Hefner’s girlfriends had recently left the house.
“I didn’t really know what went on with them sexually,” she said. “I knew there must be something and I was prepared for that. I wasn’t prepared for what would eventually happen.”
Madison, who ended up dating Hefner from 2001 to 2008, said after spending some time in a club that night, she headed back to the mansion with him and some other women they were with.
“I wasn’t necessarily expecting to have sex that night, I thought it would be more of a first date — even though obviously it’s not a very traditional first date,” she said.

TheGirls Next Dooralum continued, “I thought it would be more the type of thing where I saw what happened, saw what was going on. If I wasn’t comfortable with it I wouldn’t have to do anything and I could make my decision on whether I wanted to come back for date No. 2 or not.”
However, that was not how the night went, according to Madison, who said that she and Hefner did have sex.

“I definitely was not expecting to be the first one to go that night but I was wasted,” she said. “He was literally pushed on top of me. And after it happened, I was just mortified and embarrassed and it had way more of an emotional impact on me than I thought it would.”

“I thought he was really smart, I really looked up to him, so I liked him and it wasn’t that the idea of possibly having sex with him repelled me so much — I know that’s not relatable to a lot of people because they’re like ‘Oh he’s an old man, gross,’ " Madison said.
