A FORMER Playboy bunny is set to reveal the truth about life inside the Playboy mansion.

Holly Madison, who was one of Hugh Hefner’s girlfriends from 2001 to 2008, will release her tell-all book called Down the Rabbit Hole in June this year.

“What seemed like a fairytale life inside the Playboy Mansion, including A-list celebrity parties and her own number one rated television show for four years, quickly devolved into an oppressive routine of strict rules, manipulation, and battles with ambitious, backstabbing bunnies,” says a press release from publisher Harper Collins.

“Life inside the notorious Mansion wasn’t a dream at all and quickly became her nightmare. After losing her identity, her sense of self-worth, and her hope for the future, Holly found herself sitting alone in a bathtub contemplating suicide.”

35-year-old Madison appeared in six seasons of the reality TV show The Girls of the Playboy Mansion before she cut ties with the Playboy brand completely in 2009.

She is now married with a daughter and owns a bar in Las Vegas.
