Can you believe it was a decade ago that Holly Madison first skyrocketed to household name status thanks to a little reality show on E! called The Girls Next Door? She spent five years filming the show, which supposedly gave fans a look at life inside the Playboy Mansion. At the time, Madison's life as Hugh Hefner's main girlfriend seemed pretty amazing, but now thanks to a new tell-all book, we're learning that it was actually a lot of smoke and mirrors. Madison's book Down the Rabbit Hole: Curious Adventures and Cautionary Tales of a Former Playboy Bunny, is scheduled to hit bookstores this June and, according to the press release by HarperCollins, "Life inside the notorious mansion wasn't a dream at all -- and quickly became her nightmare. After losing her identity, her sense of self-worth and her hope for the future, Holly found herself sitting alone in a bathtub contemplating suicide."
Madison herself expressed her excitement at finally being able to speak of her time with Hefner, telling Us Weekly exclusively, "I'm excited to finally share my story and what I've learned from my personal experiences both inside and outside of the Playboy Mansion. I think my stories will surprise people and I'm looking forward to lifting the veil of mystique and clearing up the misconceptions so often associated with my life."
We have always heard that while the girls living at the Playboy Mansion may appear to be sitting in the lap of luxury, there is a trade off. They give up their freedom in favor of strict house rules and in many ways find themselves completely controled. Madison's book has been a long time in coming.
