Holly Madison: Joining Playboy Was “Dangerous Choice”

Holly Madison recently spoke about her experience with Playboy and Hugh Hefner. She said she was naive to the risks of joining Playboy’s world.

Madison’s words were part of promotional footage for A&E Network’s new series Secrets of Playboy, a 10-part series that examines the life of Hefner, who founded Playboy.

“I didn’t realize that getting into the Playboy world was a dangerous choice,” Madison said in the trailer.

“Breaking down barriers and exposing the truth, Secrets of Playboy is a masterful example of brave storytelling that takes an unflinching look at the personal effects of Hugh Hefner’s empire, while also exploring his legacy’s larger influence on our society and modern-day views of sexuality,” said A&E executive vice president and head of programming Elaine Frontain Bryant.

The series was announced along with the release of the teaser on Aug. 17 and will premiere in the early stages of 2022.
