Holly Madison has claimed that her ex-boyfriend Hugh Hefner once "flipped out" on her after she got a short haircut, and called her "old, hard, and cheap".
The model, now 41, is opening up about her time living at the Playboy Mansion. She resided at the lavish property from the early 2000s until she and Hugh Hefner split in 2008.
The star is set to appear in A&E's docuseries titled Secrets of Playboy and will dish out what made her time there a challenge.
Watch Holly Madison open up about her time in the Playboy Mansion:
In a preview for the 10-hour exploration into the once-heralded Playboy empire - set to debut January 24 - Madison exposes the mental and emotional anguish she endured as a Playmate from 2001 to 2008 at the hands of Hefner - who died of sepsis in 2017 at age 91.
"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 added.
According to the reality star, her hair was "really long naturally," and she decided to get a shorter cut in order to "look a little different" from the other women in the Playboy mansion.
But when Hefner saw her new hairstyle, he allegedly screamed.
"I came back with short hair, and he flipped out on me," Madison said. "He was screaming at me and said it made me look old, hard, and cheap."
Another one of Hefner's exes, Bridget Marquardt, recalled an incident in which the Playboy founder berated Madison for wearing red lipstick. "Hef would be pretty abrasive in the way he said things to Holly.
She came down with red lipstick one night and he flipped out and said he hated red lipstick on girls," Marquardt said in the same clip.
Elsewhere in the clip, Madison said she "felt like I was in the cycle of gross things and I didn't know what to do" during her time in the mansion.
What's more, Madison revealed that she wasn't the only Playmate to experience Hefner's sinister side.
"Hef pretended that he wasn’t involved in any hard drug use at the mansion, but that was just a lie," says Hefner’s ex Sondra Theodore, a Playmate from 1976 to 1981.
"Quaaludes down the line were used for sex," she said. "Usually you just took a half [of a Quaalude]. But if you took two, you'd pass out.
"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."
