'Hugh Hefner wanted me to do explicit video refusing him didn't go down well

Holly Madison, a former girlfriend of Hugh Hefner who starred in The Girls Next Door, says the Playboy founder couldn't believe it when she said no to a "naked" video with two other Bunnies

Hugh Hefner looked like he "got slapped in the face" when an ex-girlfriend once refused to appear in a "pornographic" film that "grossed" her out.

Holly Madison and Bridget Marquardt, who both previously dated Playboy magazine mogul Hugh Hefner, revealed the sleazy details of the so-called Playmate videos on a recent episode of the Girls Next Level podcast.

Bridget claimed that Hefner approached her and fellow Mansion resident Kendra Wilkinson "individually" to ask them to appear in the videos. But Holly was particularly uncomfortable with the prospect, saying it was past her "comfort zone".

Holly said: "I say in commentary that I said to him, 'Well, I think we'd want to do them separately'. And he goes, 'Oh, no; well, I think there's no question some of it would have to be together'."

She continued: "Which I just am grossed out by because I feel like a video of the three of us naked together would look so like pornographic past my comfort zone or what my comfort zone even was back then.

"But I remember back when he asked me, I was like, 'No', and I remember he just looked like he got slapped in the face because I'd never said no to anything.

"I'd said no to stuff before. I wouldn't recruit girls or anything like that, but I hadn't just straight up said no to something that wasn't relationship and jealousy related, you know what I mean?"

Holly also revealed that Hefner was "okay" with her not being a recruiter because he thought that Holly was "so in love" with him, she couldn't "stand" to see him with other women.

Holly and Bridget both starred in the E! reality show The Girls Next Door, which delved into the lives of Hugh Hefner's girlfriends and what it was like to live in the notorious Playboy Mansion.

Following Hefner's death in 2017, aged 91, a catalogue of allegations emerged. Among them were from his widow, Crystal Hefner, who complained of "controlling" and "restrictive" behaviour.

The former Playmate of the Month said the "bunnies" were subjected to strict curfews, and Hefner stockpiled Viagra and the painkiller Percocet, with the constant playing of porn in the mansion, sex toys and an "earthquake supply" of drugs.

Crystal also said she would "find girls" for orgies, and Hefner liked to be joined by "at least five girls" simultaneously when they headed to the bedroom. She also claimed that Hefner required the bunnies to get plastic surgery.

Further allegations that surfaced after Hefner's death included monthly weigh-ins, drunken sex, humiliation, and live-in girlfriends being placed under curfew and forced to beg for money.
