41-year-old Holly Madison lived at Playboy Mansion from the early 2000s until she and Hugh Hefner split in 2008.
Now she is opening up about her time living there, including the dirty little secrets.
“I got to a point not too far into my time there – I think I was only, like, six months in – where I kind of broke under that pressure and being made to feel like I need to look exactly like everybody else,” she confessed.\GHS WERE HUGE’
“My hair was really long, naturally, and I was just like, ‘I’m going to go chop my hair off so I can at least look a little different,’” she said.
“I came back with short hair and he [Playboy founder Hefner] flipped out on me and he was screaming at me and said it made me look old, hard and cheap.”
A friend of Hefner’s testified that this was true.
He recalled Hefner was “very unhappy” about Madison cutting her hair.
Playboy alum Bridget Marquardt also said Hefner was “pretty abrasive in the way he said things to Holly.”
“She came down with red lipstick one time and he flipped out, said he hated red lipstick on girls [and that she] needed to take it off right away even though other people could wear red lipstick and it didn’t seem to bother him,” Marquardt claimed.
“It was very frustrating to live with every day – all the drama that was going on and the tensions.”

Things for Madison only got worse after she cut her hair.
“I remember there were times, probably within the first couple years I lived there [at the Playboy mansion] when I felt like I was just in the cycle of gross things and I didn’t know what to do,” Madison explained.
The star is expected to expand on her story and claims during “Secrets of Playboy,” which will also include interviews from other Playboy alums, offering up shocking claims of their own.
