Former Playboy bunnies reveal more uncomfortable truths about Hugh Heffner
Numerous women who were Huge Heffner’s girlfriends during his time at the Playboy Mansion have come forward to report that Heffner forced them to engage in unprotected sex orgies with him or risk being gaslit and being excluded from his inner circle.
Huge Heffner’s “main girlfriends,” included both Bridget Marquardt and Holly Madison, two of his closest confidantes.
Secrets of Playboy, a 10-part series on A&E, claims that the playmates’ experience at the famed house was vastly different from the public’s conception.
In addition, on Heather McDonald’s “Juicy Scoop” podcast, the two Playboy bunnies claimed they were compelled to engage in more unprotected sex with other individuals. “I was still just gonna watch and then [one of the other Playmates] was like, ‘Aren’t you gonna go?’ It was like, ‘You need to go.’ And I was like, ‘I would rather not.’ And she’s like, ‘Well, then you probably won’t be invited back,” It was Marquardt who said it.
When she was 28 she moved into the mansion. “So then I was like, ‘OK.’ And I’d seen what everybody else was doing, so I knew that this was, like, a 10-second thing. I mean, definitely no more than a minute.”
“You were hoping everyone’s in the same situation, and there is a doctor on staff. You’re hoping everybody is being checked out, and everybody is being – I say this in quotes – ‘monogamous’ to that relationship, but you don’t know,”
“If there are new girls coming up, which there often were, like, I just wanted to be first and be done. And I felt like that was the cleanest way.”
The video provides a wealth of information on the events that took place in the home; some allege that they involved full-on hedonism, complete with drugs, orgies, sexual assault, and even bestiality.
In her own words, “We were all kind of gaslit and expected to think of Hef as, like, this really good guy,” she said in a show clip. “You started to feel like, ‘Oh, he’s not what they say in the media – he’s just a nice man.'”
