Holly Madison Says Hugh Hefner Sent Her ‘Creepy’ Letters

Holly Madison is currently making the rounds for her memoir Down the Rabbit Hole: Curious Adventures and Cautionary Tales of a Former Playboy Bunny. The memoir is about her time living with Hugh Hefner in the Playboy Mansion, which was from 2005 to 2010.

Now that she’s left that all behind, the former Girl Next Door cast mate is revealing all about her life as a bunny. According to Us Weekly, she told the publication that Hugh Hefner actually sent her creepy “uncalled-for” letters right after she decided to move on with her life.

“They were all very formal, short letters, and it would usually be in response to something I said in the press. At the time I had a TV show [Holly’s World] on, so I was doing all kinds of random interviews and they’d ask me my opinion on the new Girls Next Door or who he was dating. If I said anything that was slightly not to his liking he’d send me some reprimanding type of letter.”

As far as the vibes, Holly Madison said they were “creepy.” “It just got to the point where I’d throw them away and not even look at them. There was a very creepy vibe to them. I felt like he was trying to act like he was my dad and like control every move that I made.”

The Down the Rabbit Hole: Curious Adventures and Cautionary Tales of a Former Playboy Bunny synopsis is as follows.

“In this shockingly candid and surprisingly moving memoir, this thoughtful and introspective woman opens up about life inside the Mansion, the drugs, the sex, the abuse, the infamous parties, and her real behind-the-scenes life with Bridget, Kendra, and, of course, Mr. Playboy himself.”

In addition to those creepy letters, Holly Madison said she was so unhappy with her life at the Playboy Mansion that she contemplated suicide.

In 2002, she wondered to herself, “If I just put my head under water and take a deep breath in, it would all be over.”

Fortunately, Holly Madison saw the light and moved on. As for what Hefner thinks of these allegations, he told Us Weekly, “Sadly, there are a few who have chosen to rewrite history in an attempt to stay in the spotlight. I guess, as the old saying goes: You can’t win ’em all!”
