'Secrets of Playboy': Holly Madison, Sondra Theodore Reveal How Girls Were Treated In The Mansion [Watch]
Holly Madison and Sondra Theodore opened up about their life as playmates in Hugh Hefner’s Playboy mansion, in A&E network's docuseries, "Secrets of Playboy," and revealed how girls were actually treated behind closed doors and the heavy use of drugs for sex.
In the one-minute, 40-second clip shared on YouTube Tuesday, Madison revealed that she felt like she was "in the cycle of gross things" and she didn't wish for it to continue.
Madison explained in the video how she was forced to look like other girls in the mansion. "I got to a point where I kind of broke under that pressure and being made to feel like I needed to look exactly like everybody else," she said.
The model noted that she shortened the length of her hair six months after moving into the mansion. However, the new hairstyle was not appreciated by Hefner who, Madison says, screamed at her.
"I came back with short hair and he flipped out on me,” Madison recalled. "He was screaming at me and said it made me look old, hard and cheap."
In another clip shared on the same day, Theodore noted how hard drugs were used in the mansion for sex, especially Quaaludes.
"Hef pretended that he wasn’t involved in any hard drug use at the mansion, but that was just a lie," Theodore, who was in the mansion from 1976 to 1981, noted. "Quaaludes down the line were used for sex."
She further explained that the drugs were so strong that they used to take only half and if someone used to take two of them, they would simply pass out.
"Usually you just took a half [of a Quaalude]. But if you took two, you’d pass out," the 64-year-old model revealed. "There was such a seduction, and men knew that they could get girls to do just about anything they wanted if they gave them a Quaalude."
In the clip, Lisa Loving Barrett - who worked as Hefner’s secretary - admitted that the magazine owner used to drug women. "Quaaludes were what we called leg-spreaders. That was the whole point of them," Barrett said. "They were a necessary evil, if you will, to the partying."
"Secrets of Playboy" revolves around the reality of the playboy mansion. The docuseries will premiere on A&E on Jan. 24, 2022.
