Holly Madison: Obsession With Hugh Hefner Fictionalized Memoir? Kendra Wilkinson Defends Playboy King [Photos]
Holly Madison had an obsession with Hugh Hefner during her years at the Playboy Mansion, claims a former Playmate. Along with Kendra Wilkinson and Hefner, ex-Playmate Izabella St. James is now denying the claims made by Holly in her bestselling memoir, Down the Rabbit Hole, reported the Daily Mail.
And although Madison made it to the highest ranks of the New York Times bestseller list, her obsession is reflected in what St. James considers to be lies about Hefner, known as the millionaire founder of magazines and mansions emblazoned with the Playboy name.
Izabella charges that Holly’s account of what happened in the Playboy mansion is fiction rather than a memoir. She describes Madison as desiring revenge on Hugh because he refused to marry her, painting a portrait of a “weirdo” woman who was an outsider with a “Single White Female” obsession.
Now 39, Izabella resided with Holly for several years in Hugh’s mansion. She says that Holly would do anything to please Hefner, and even tried to look like Marilyn Monroe at one point. Madison’s former housemate also charges that Madison lied about being suicidal.
“She is selling the book by making outrageous claims, and doing tell-all interviews where she says he degraded her and calls it the house of horrors. If it was the house of horrors, she was the most willing and happy participant of it all. When you want something so badly, lose all dignity, and cross all moral boundaries to get it and then turn it around to make yourself a victim, and maybe she has made herself believe this, but I feel sorry for Hef that she is just so completely ungrateful. She throws him under the bus without giving him any credit. It is almost disrespectful and mind blowing to be so delusional.”
In addition, Izabella, who authored Bunny Tales: Behind Closed Doors at the Playboy Mansion, may sue Holly because she feels there are so many parallels between their memoirs.
Also attacking Holly for what she considers to be untruths is Kendra Wilkinson, reported People.
Kendra wrote her own memoir, Sliding into Home, after exiting Hefner’s mansion to life with ex-NFL wide receiver Hank Baskett. She is still fond of Hugh.
“My intention was to tell my story,” explained Wilkinson.
She questions why Holly waited so long.
“It’s pretty sad. It makes you question the timing, and it makes you wonder, ‘Wow, she wants real revenge.’ At the end of the day, true colors shine,” claimed Kendra.
And while Izabella feels Madison had an obsession, Wilkinson says it’s all about revenge.
“The one thing she truly wanted was a piece of that stock, a piece of Playboy and a piece of Hef’s will. She considers herself a failure because she did whatever it took to get that and she didn’t get what she wanted in return. Hef is the most amazing human being. Behind the scenes, people that actually know the truth are laughing their a**es off. This is not even real. This person is out for revenge.”
However, as the Inquisitr reported, Holly attacked Kendra in her memoir.
“The fakest person I’ve ever met [and] despite my attempts to befriend Kendra, she continued to push me away. Hungry from her own ‘team,’ Kendra desperately tried to make each new Playmate who arrived at the mansion her friend—and her friend alone,” wrote Madison.
