Former Playboy model Holly Madison admits bedroom activities she didn't like to do with Hugh Hefner

Fox News05-05-2025
Holly Madison revealed the bedroom activities she wasn't fond of during her time in the Playboy mansion.
Madison, now 45, opened up about her sex life with longtime partner Hugh Hefner while appearing on the podcast "In Your Dreams."
"Well, it's a very different story between when we were just, like, by ourselves than with everybody else in the room," Madison said when asked if Hefner was good in bed. "Everybody else in the room, no. That was disgusting. I hated it. I made it very known I hated it."
"But if it was just me and him, it was a lot more normal than you would think," she explained.
"I would not think it would be normal, to be honest," podcast host Owen Thiele noted.
"Nobody does," Madison responded while laughing. I think everybody has this, like, real horror story of like, how gross an old man's body must be."
Madison, a former Playboy model and one of Hugh Hefner's longtime girlfriends, left the Playboy Mansion in 2008. In her new interview, Madison admitted she was written into the magazine founder's will at one point before she left the lifestyle behind. Hefner died on Sept. 27, 2017. He was 91.
"I was put in the will at one point," she told Thiele. "And this is kind of sad. But when I broke up with him, I was packing my stuff. And then one day … there was a folder set out on my side of the bed because he knows I'm going to look at it. Like everybody knows I'm the biggest snoop in the house."
"So I look at it, and it's his will all printed out, all the details. This is who's getting what and ... he was leaving me $3 million," Madison claimed. "But it was kind of sad though, because I'd already broken it off with him, and he was trying to get me to stay. So it was kind of like a low-key bribe but also sad because he can't, like, sit me down and talk to me about it."
The "Girls Next Door" star went her separate way and said she later earned the $3 million left behind on her own.
Madison was 21 when she moved into the Playboy Mansion. She made her exit at age 29 after wrapping "The Girls Next Door," a reality TV series about Hefner's multiple girlfriends. In 2016, she wrote a memoir, "Down the Rabbit Hole," alleging years of verbal and emotional abuse.
Looking back at her experience, Madison would advise any hopeful model making her way to Hollywood for a big break to look at the "cautionary tales" of others before diving in.
"I remember being 18 and 19 and thinking I was such a badass and that I could just take on the world and that I could have sex like a man and have no emotional attachment," she reflected in an interview with Fox News Digital. "But it's really not like that. Doing things like that carries a lot of emotional weight. I think looking into people's stories who are honest about all the sides of the industry is a really good thing to do. And look at some of the cautionary tales before you just dive in."
On Monday, Madison is kicking off season 3 of Investigation Discovery's true-crime series, "The Playboy Murders," which explores high-profile tragedies and crimes associated with the iconic magazine brand.

Dennis Quaid shares update on 17-year-old daughter working at Texas camp during deadly floods

Dennis Quaid has given an update about his 17-year-old daughter, Zoe, while she's working as a camp counselor in Texas during the devastating flash floods. The 71-year-old actor told Fox News Digital Friday that Zoe's camp is many miles north of Kerrville, Texas, which was hit by the catastrophic overflooding of the Guadalupe River. 'The Hill County of Texas is a magical place, especially for children going to camp there,' the Texas native said. 'It's a cherished memory you carry with you all your life. My daughter was actually a few miles away from [Camp] Mystic, further north. Thankfully, their camp was OK.' At Camp Mystic, an all-girls summer camp situated on the banks of the Guadalupe River, at least 27 children and staff members died after the floods. The death toll due to the disaster stands at 121, while 173 people are still missing. Quaid also said that on the night that the floods began, he tried to get in touch with his daughter, but didn't hear back from her right away. 'I heard about this as I was going to bed that night,' The Parent Trap star explained to the outlet. 'And I tried to call her because I knew she was up there. I knew it wasn't near where the floods were, but I wasn't able to talk to her till the next day.' He confessed that he 'didn't really get a lot of sleep' on the night he was waiting for Zoe to call him back. Still, his daughter and others at her camp are 'relatively safe up there.' Zoe also has a twin brother, Thomas. The two are Quaid's only children with his ex-wife, Kimberly Buffington. Quaid shares his 33-year-old son, actor Jack Quaid, with his ex-wife Meg Ryan. In 2020, two years after he divorced Buffington, The Substance star got remarried to his wife, Laura Savoie. During his interview with Fox News Digital, Quaid sent his condolences to his friend, Kansas City Chiefs owner Clark Hunt, who lost a nine-year-old family member, Janie Hunt, in the Texas floods. 'I can't imagine how that would … how devastating that would be,' he said. 'You think of those kids that night, and it just chills my heart. Do a lot of praying because there's a lot of people that need to be prayed for.' Kerr County remains the center of the disaster after the Guadalupe River overflowed on July 4. Crews are searching mounds of debris along an eight-mile stretch of the Guadalupe River, often finding cars and RVs buried in the wreckage. Search and rescue efforts are expected to continue for several weeks, said Fredericksburg Fire Chief Lynn Bizzell. Several of the cabins at Camp Mystic were also built on 'extremely hazardous' floodways where the river's water moves at its highest velocity and depth, according to an analysis by The New York Times. Two days before the deadly floods, the camp reportedly passed its annual state safety inspection and had a written disaster plan in place.

Dennis Quaid devastated by close family connection to Texas floods

Dennis Quaid has deep ties to Texas. The 'Sovereign' star was born and raised in the Lone Star State and still has ties to the area. As Texans are dealing with deadly flash floods that claimed over 100 lives, the actor shared a personal story about the day the floods began. His daughter, Zoe, 17, was working as a counselor at a camp approximately 75 miles north of Kerrville, when news began breaking about the flooding, Quaid told Fox News Digital. She'd been attending the camp since she was a young girl, and the night the flooding began, he wasn't able to get a hold of her. 4 Dennis Quaid's daughter, Zoe, was working as a counselor at a camp approximately 75 miles north of where the devastating flood happened.

Quaid said his daughter and others at the camp were 'relatively safe up there,' but another girl at the camp lost her family in the floods. 'One of the girls at that camp lost her whole family who were camping in an RV, I guess, on the Guadalupe River, and they were swept away,' he said. 4 A view inside a cabin at Camp Mystic, the site of where at least 20 girls went missing after the flash flood.

'I can't imagine how that would … how devastating that would be,' he admitted. 'We just need to pray for people,' he added, naming the Kerr County Flood Relief Fund, a local fundraiser that's supporting relief and rebuilding efforts in the community. 'You think of those kids that night, and it just chills my heart. Do a lot of praying because there's a lot of people that need to be prayed for still.' 4 People view and examine the damage to the cabins at Camp Mystic. DUSTIN SAFRANEK/EPA/Shutterstock During his conversation with Fox News Digital, Quaid also spoke about his new film, 'Sovereign,' which is in theaters and available for digital purchase and rental today. The film, inspired by true events, tells the story of a father and son, played by Nick Offerman and Jacob Tremblay, who consider themselves sovereign citizens, a group the FBI refers to as 'anti-government extremists who believe that even though they physically reside in this country, they are separate or 'sovereign' from the United States.' Quaid plays a police chief who crosses paths with them. When asked about the responsibility Hollywood has when portraying these kinds of politically charged stories, Quaid said, 'I think if you just try to tell the story as it happened instead of putting something else on it. … For instance, I don't really want to compare this to Democrats and Republicans right now, or even ICE. 4 Many campers of the Camp Mystics remain missing after the Texas flooding. CNN Weather 'Sovereigns are a different group. They're not even anarchists to the sense. They don't belong to anything. They don't have a driver's license. It's like they don't enter into a contract with the government, and so, therefore, they're not subject to any laws that they don't recognize.' As for portraying characters with beliefs that differ from his own, Quaid told Fox News Digital, 'I play people from their point of view. '[How] we think and our actions are governed to a large extent by the way we grew up. But is it genetic or is it the environment that we were in? And both of those things contribute.' Quaid explained that since 'Sovereign' is based on a true story, he spent time speaking with the police chief his character was inspired by. And he said the writer and director, Christian Swegal, has a family member who is a sovereign citizen. 'This story, I think, is mythic, in a way,' he said. 'It's like something out of the Old West.'

It Took Years, Some Electrical Help, Then Came the Spark

When Nancy Rose Marshall met Christopher Gordon Murphy through mutual friends in the summer of 2015 at an outdoor music festival in Madison, Wis., she was happily in love. Mr. Murphy, an artist and electrician, was well-known locally because his body-cast sculptures were displayed throughout the city, and she admired his work. 'I had actually taken pictures of some of his sculptures the year before and was excited to meet and talk to him,' she said. 'Nancy was in a great dress, and I thought she was very pretty,' Mr. Murphy said. 'But since she was with her boyfriend, and I was dating someone, I didn't let my mind go there.' As they ran into each other at more music festivals over the next 18 months, they had longer conversations and got to know one another at a 'friends level,' they said. In January 2017, Dr. Marshall's boyfriend, Jamie Cowles, died suddenly from a heart attack, leaving her in disbelief. 'My boyfriend before Jamie had also died of a heart attack, and it was like a really awful movie was replaying itself,' she said. After staying housebound for several months following Mr. Cowles's death, Dr. Marshall, who holds a doctorate in art history from Yale, began going out again. 'Photography is a hobby of mine, so I used to go to festivals and concerts to take pictures even though I was self-conscious about being alone,' she said. 'I saw Chris a few times at these events, and he always made it a point to come up and talk to me.' Want all of The Times? Subscribe.
