Holly Madison claims Hugh Hefner tried to bribe her with $4 million
EX-PLAYBOY Bunny Holly Madison has dropped another bombshell, claiming Hugh Hefner offered her a $4 million bribe.
HOLLY Madison’s war of words with Hugh Hefner is still going strong.
The former Playmate, who dated Hefner for seven years, claimed that she stumbled upon the entrepreneur’s will in his bedroom that promised her $US3 million ($4.2 million) if she stayed at the Playboy Mansion.
“It was very clear to me that he’d left that out for me to see, because he was hoping it would change my mind and get me to say,” Madison, 35, shared in an interview for Oprah Winfrey‘s Where Are They Now? special.
“It just kinda disgusted me more than anything because all he can do is say, ‘Oh, here, I’m gonna throw you some money to get you to stay.’ It just grossed me out.”
Madison left the 89-year-old in 2008 following a rough patch in their nearly decade-long relationship.
“Hef and I started hitting kind of a rocky patch when it became clear that Bridget [Marquardt] and Kendra [Wilkinson] were leaving, they were moving on to new things,” she shared.
“I just had enough and just realised all these delusions I’d been under and that this was no longer the life for me.”
The busty blonde married Pasquale Rotella in September 2013, just months after the birth of their daughter, Rainbow Aurora.
And while her Playmate days are long behind her, Madison has continued to speak out against Hefner, most notably in her memoir, Down the Rabbit Hole: Curious Adventures and Cautionary Tales of a Former Playboy Bunny.
“The only thing he ever gave me is a little bit of fame,” Madison wrote. “Fame is not always worth it.”
