Secrets Of The Playboy Mansion

There is a fiction, reinforced by the mainstream media, that the rich and famous live a better life, that they’re happier and have better sex. For decades, Playboy founder Hugh Hefner has maintained his image as the unstoppable king of all pimps, surrounding himself with fake breasted, bleach blonde young women at all times. Men of all ages idolize Hef and his lavish lifestyle, but recently, reports have alleged that life in the Playboy mansion is not all it’s cracked up to be.

A few of Hef’s ex-girlfriends are speaking out about their miserable experiences at the supposedly luxurious mansion, which so many men have come to believe is heaven on earth. Recently, Hef’s ex-fiancé Crystal Harris exposed a number of secrets on Howard Stern’s Sirius-XM radio show that were especially damaging to Hef’s laid-back ladies man image and to the vision of the mansion as some sort of paradise. The Playboy Mansion sounds more like a glorified cult, run with an iron fist by Hef himself, with his dictates enforced by a team of security guards.

Hef proposed to Harris this past Christmas, a gesture that surprised many. Hef? In a monogamous relationship? No way. But five days before the upcoming summer wedding, Harris made an unexplained disappearance from the mansion and the wedding was officially canceled. Harris finally revealed to Stern last week that she was under house arrest at the mansion and managed to escape after stating that she needed to go out and run an errand. But Harris really made waves after talking about her sex life with Hef, calling him a “two-second man” and thanking god she only had to do the dirty with him one time. She also mentioned a mandatory 6:00PM curfew for the girls and obligatory movie time with Hef that only included his favorite old movies – unbearable to Harris.

Izabella St. James is an ex Playboy playmate who spilled the deets on what really went down in the mansion back in 2009. Her tell-all book, Bunny Tales: Behind Closed Doors at the Playboy Mansion, spun quite a negative light on the mansion and Playboy founder. According to her book, Hef regularly scheduled plastic surgery operations for the girls, forcing many to get surgery they did not want. She also wrote about Friday morning allowance: “Every Friday morning we had to go to Hef’s room, wait while he picked up all the dog poo off the carpet – and then ask for our allowance: a thousand dollars counted out in crisp hundred-dollar bills from a safe in one of his bookcases. We all hated this process. Hef would always use the occasion to bring up anything he wasn’t happy about in the relationship. Most of the complaints were about the lack of harmony among the girlfriends – or your lack of sexual participation in the ‘parties’ he held in his bedroom.” Ex-girlfriend Kendra Wilkinson has previously talked about each girl "hopping on" Hef for a one-minute ride, and another former Playmate, Jill Ann Spaulding, criticized his insistence on having unprotected sex.

The Playboy Mansion may seem like heaven to some, but many women who choose to live there apparently get more than they bargained for.
