Hugh Hefner's former girlfriend Holly Madison claimed that the Playboy founder bribed her with $3 million. In an interview with Oprah Winfrey on Saturday's episode of "Oprah: Where Are They Now?" Madison said Hefner enticed her with the money in his will and attempted to make her stay with him.
Madison said that she and Hefner started to go through a rough patch when his other two live-in girlfriends, Bridget Marquardt and Kendra Wilkinson, were leaving the Playboy mansion.
"I just had enough, and just had realized all the delusions I'd been under and that this was no longer the life for me," she said.
The now 35-year-old said she discovered an envelope in her and Hefner's bedroom that was left on her bedside table. Inside the envelope was a copy of Hefner's will and she was promised $3 million if she stayed with him at the 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 stay," Madison revealed. "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."
The former Playboy model and Hefner dated for seven years but started publicly fighting soon after Madison released her memoir, "Down the Rabbit Hole: Curious Adventures and Cautionary Tales of a Former Playboy Bunny" earlier this year. In the book, Madison said she felt suicidal when she lived in the Playboy mansion and considered drowning herself in a bathtub. The couple stayed together until 2008.
