Holly Madison is one of Hugh Hefner's most famous ex-girlfriends, and she's also been one of the most outspoken about the realities of her time with the man himself. She recently offered up more details about what she and other women had to endure, and Hugh Hefner's wife, Crystal Hefner, spoke up in her defense.
Several people in the series speak about Hugh Hefner's practice of taking incriminating photos of the women who lived at the mansion and of the people who visited. Holly confirmed that the existence of the photos was one reason she was scared to move out — she didn't know what could potentially haunt her.

As she explained, "When I lived at the mansion I was afraid to leave. Something that was always living in the back of my mind … if I left, there was just this mountain of revenge porn just waiting to come out."
She continued by detailing what was going on in some of the photos, saying, "When you would go out with Hef, he's taking all types of naked pictures of these women when they're wasted out of their minds. And he would print out like, eight copies for him and all the women. It's just gross."
She also asserts that many of the women were usually using a substance or two. "When girls would go out with Hef, in the limo, in the nightclub and come back to his room after, he was constantly taking photos of these women on his disposable camera. And these women were almost always intoxicated. I know I was, heavily intoxicated."
She went on, "So if you were messed up and if you were in his bathtub with your top off and some other girl is doing some sexually explicit pose on you and he took a picture of that on his disposable camera, he'd make a copy and give it to everyone that night and put it in a scrapbook."
Crystal Hefner, who was married to Hugh in the last years of his life, later confirmed Holly's story on Twitter. She wrote, "found thousands of those disposable camera photos you are talking about @hollymadison. I immediately ripped them up and destroyed every single one of them for you and the countless other women in them. They're gone."
In the end, Crystal Hefner supported Holly and numerous other women, which is an admirable and powerful move.
