When it was announced a few months ago that Holly Madison was about to publish a tell-all book based on her years living in the Playboy Mansion as Hugh Hefner's main girlfriend, we knew that it was going to be a real zinger. As anticipated, Madison is dropping some serious grenades, as allegations of drug use, emotional abuse and more are at the center of Down the Rabbit Hole: Curious Adventures and Cautionary Tales of a Former Playboy Bunny.
According to a transcript attained by Us Weekly, Madison details the very first time that she met Hef and how he offered her drugs immediately. "Would you like a Quaalude?' Hef asked, leaning toward me with a bunch of large horse pills in his hands, held together by a crumpled tissue." She says she declined his offer, but that only made his approach more intense. "'Okay, that's good,' he said, nonchalantly. 'Usually, I don't approve of drugs, but you know, in the '70s they used to call these pills thigh openers. I want to scream 'PAUSE!' and freeze-frame that moment of my life," Holly admits in the book. "I want to grab that young girl, shake her back into reality and scream, 'What the hell are you thinking?'"
Fans of Madison will no doubt remember her stint as a reality star on E!'s Girl Next Door. That show documented Madison's life with fellow girlfriends and it was edited to make it seem like life at the Playboy Mansion was just one extended slumber party. Madison explains that she is no longer afraid of Hefner or his influence and she believes it was now time for the truth to come out. Do you think it was risky for her to go on the record with various allegations?
