@@tasheenajones9863 do you say these things about all abusive relationships? like i don’t understand people with this argument. it’s common knowledge that the relationship was transactional on BOTH sides. yes, the girls made that choice and yes they stayed. but so do millions of other victims in abusive relationships! there’s so much psychology behind it. the girls are all open about the fact that they moved into the house because it offered stability, fame and money. but most of them stayed because their reputation had been ruined, there was tons of revenge porn lined up for them, and they had no money of their own. they were trapped, psychologically. in most abusive relationships leaving is of course an option, but a VERY scary one. its easy for you to say that these girls chose to be there but after years of manipulation, abuse and gaslighting it slowly brought down their self-confidence to leave. just because they “chose” to stay doesn’t mean that they weren’t victims of abuse. stop defending this man and victim-blaming. you sound so slow.

@@wardatkins1320 as someone who’s been in an abusive relationship, their stories are relatable and give strength to victims of abuse. they’re benefiting monetarily from it but that doesn’t negate all the good that’s coming out of it. hef was an abusive predator and this needs to be talked about. men are no longer getting away with the gross shit that they used to. he’s being held accountable. if you hate what these women are doing so much… why are you watching this podcast?? it makes no sense. if you’re so opposed to this content, then why are you engaging and giving them views? put your money where your mouth is. if you don’t like what they have to say, don’t listen. it’s that’s simple.

Was it interesting or do you not believe her cause you saw a fake documentary which sole purpose was to disparage and condemn a man who can't defend himself... Interesting that you call those girls intelligent after contradicting themselves several times in that interview and making themselves the victims when one clearly talked about how bad she wanted to be part of that crowd, staying there 7 years and while the other "traumatized" victim talks about her life in Vegas, her spin off show, her books... none of which would be possible if not for Hugh.

Maaaaaan Girls Next Door was my FAVORITE show ever back then. I had the whole series on DVD and even when my cable went out me and my girlfriends would smoke out and watch it 😂 I loved it. I literally HATE hearing about how disgusting it was for all these girls to have to line up and have s3x with this old creep and how none of them wanted to but felt coerced into it. I was like 19 back then and just thought it looked so glamours but obviously now looking back you can just see how awful the whole situation was. I love hearing from these girls though. I’m so happy they’re doing so well. They are smart, amazing women and I really am rooting for them.

[@helenhoward5346]

Well Holly was the one exposed to him the most out of the three so it makes sense she'd be the target of his wrath more than the other two. She also seems like she was conditioned by a narcissistic parent for her to back down to his ego constantly. She couldn't even have her own personal space. That was his way of establishing a trauma bond with him. Narcissists worsen with age and maybe even said things like "if it weren't for me blah blah blah, no decent man would want you with your reputation, you're never having a traditional family bc of that, you're known as a bimbo no one takes you seriously, I could ruin you if I so chose.." type of vindictive language as he became increasingly insecure and frail I imagine. I mean he even tried to knock her up with IVF. He saw her as locked in whereas he knew Bridgette and Kendra were destined for greener pastures anyways so it didn't really serve him to make regular hostilities with all the girls as it would create shared trauma amongst them and that makes it easier to call out. So yeah, it's no wonder Holly has a little more tea on hef.

[@michele1491]

I think that yes, Holly dominated this conversation but I think that is by choice on Bridget’s part. I feel Bridget is an intelligent woman but keeps her true feelings close to her chest for whatever reason. Either she went into the experience with no expectations or assuming the worst or maybe is worried about burning bridges.

That's what it looks like on the outside. When I saw few seasons of the reality show with the three girls. I was shocked what it looked like in the inside also. It looked creepy and not kept up. I would think it would look glamorous, it didn't to me.it looked like a creepy old mansion unkept. I have no idea why these girls stayed if they never got money and really not much traveling either. Sound like they were prisoners. I doubt he would of left them anything if they stayed. I'm curious did Holly want to marry Hefner for the inheritance money because in this interview it doesn't sound like she ever loved him. Bridget seems very sweet. Kendra totally moved on in her life. She really doesn't even think about those years. She is raising her children and working in real estate . She is the healthiest one out of all of them. She has no need to rehash the Hugh Hefner days. Good for Kendra, for moving on and putting her children first. I hope Kendra finds a good man, she deserves it. She really never got in as a playmate to me. Bridget is sweet. There's something about Holly I don't trust. I don't know what it is about her. I think Hugh Hefner was a very dark mental human being. I also would of loved to hear more about Bridget. I would of liked to know what positive came out of it for her.

I didn’t know living without responsibility and being payed to lounge around a mansion was considered “lemons”. I’d be embarrassed to complain about a house being run down when I spend my days sitting in it without a job. I guess you don’t end up living in the mansion cause you like cleaning though. My sisters used to watch this show and as an adult is hard to see how they managed to do nothing with that opportunity besides get f***ed and let your dogs piss and poop all over the place. If there was a female version of hef you think guys would do the same thing? I’d play House with a granny and use her platform to make myself rich. I guess in the end that is their plan except instead of building something they will just turn a geriatric into some sexual task master. Have you ever been around people this age?

I know people want to hear what bridget has to say but i think her "experience" is really pretty much what we see on GND, of course she may have some negative ones but she says mostly she sees it as positive, so i feel like she really doesnt have much story to tell other than what weve already seen on the show.

[@user-zv1yh4cg2l]

She is going to write the book to get some cash. She loved her life. She got married early in life something happened because of divorce. She met Hef and appreciates what gave her. Her eyes were wide open. Holly probably wanted to get married to Hef. She thought he would change his ways. She also wanted a child. She lived well there but mess up by not getting a man on side like Kendra did.

[@user-dn6np8lt3v]

Another great episode 👏👏👏 So good to hear their true experience living at the mansion. I remember stories in the media for years. Hearing them speak on their own personal experiences puts it all in perspective. I give them both such credit for telling their truth. Great questions Heather.

“You know and you, you had that travel thing” she literally had no questions for Bridget.

Great interview - thank you for being stern enough to ask all the tough questions (nicely) and kind enough to factor in that the experiences of the ladies may not have been pleasant - I was on another podcast that bored me half way

I wish that Bridget would have had more time to talk about her life but hopefully she will get her time to do so

Omg, Holly Madison is always so candid, authentic, vulnerable, and really goes there on her KZbin channel and in every interview that I've ever seen of her! I really watched her for half my life and she'll always be my hero XO Steven PS thank you to Heather McDonald for being so sweet and genuine throughout the entirety of this interview!

Love this with the two of them together! Can’t wait to hear more of Bridget on the podcast… would have liked more balance between the two since Holly has written the book and done her KZbin reaction series and other interviews. You can tell that she isn’t even really looking at Bridget most of the time because she looks over at her very little

[@mamakath1966]

Recently discovered your channel Heather and LOVE it! Thank you for sharing!! 💜

[@mariumy]

Way more engaging than when Kendra came and said a lot of nothing 😊

[@ligiaklaver90]

Interesting interview. Yes, Holly wants to be the star of an era that has ended. I had always loved the show GND. I was a huge fan of Holly's even after the show ended and was also a fan of her new show Holly's World in Vegas. When she wrote her book, Rabbit Hole, in which she trashed Heff and Kendra, my admiration faded. Don't fans realize that Holly is trashing the hand that fed her? And Holly was a bridesmaid in Kendras wedding at the mansion! Why the hate toward Kendra? Fellow fans, Holly does not acknowledge that her claim to fame came from her relationship with Heff and the show GND. She's been trashing Heff for years because things didn't go her way, meaning that Heff did not want to marry her. That's why Holly left the mansion, but she'll never admit it. I watched the GND episodes that clearly showed she was in love with Heff and wanted to marry him. In this interview she's saying it was all an act? I don't believe that. I'm not saying that Heff was perfect but he doesn't deserve the attacks from her over the years. She loved him and the Playboy lifestyle and could have walked away from it at any time if she was truly dissatisfied. It's astounding to me that she continues to ride on Heff's famous coattails to keep her name up in lights . Holly's KZbin channel is all about her re-watching and analyzing GND episodes. She's obsessed. And now the new podcast GIRLS NEXT LEVEL is the same thing, rehashing her playboy story. Fans, come on! it is very sad that she has nothing else to do but trash Heff? She has no other projects in the entertainment industry, no acting, modeling? Why? I don't have any criticism for Kendra or Bridget because they have not behaved as Holly has. Holly, move on with your life, your playboy days are over! As a somewhat fan myself, I would love to see Holly take on some new and interesting projects that show some real talent!

[@Primseygirl101]

You are very clearly not a fan of hers. I relate to Holly very much, and you shouldn’t judge her. This is how she copes. It’s her choice. She was the closest to Hef, so she was burned far worse than the other women. She has a right to tell her story. And btw, if you’ve never been in a position with an old man like this where you feel like you have to do things and you just try to make the best of it? You have no idea how it feels to wake up one day and realize what actually happened. To realize you were living in a fog and fooling yourself and that you are actually brutally traumatized by the things that went on. I have a similar story to hers, I was once with a man when I was 20 who was 68. I found him charming and he was like a mentor. We were so close. But I felt like I had to sleep with him. He manipulated me for years. And it haunts me every day. She just woke up and realized what happened to her and how dare you judge her for that. I promise what you see on tv, is not REALITY

[@ligiaklaver90]

@@Primseygirl101 The purpose of this forum is to read different points of view. If you don’t like it, don’t comment here. Whether I am a fan or not is irrelevant. I’m not saying that Holly shouldn’t grieve about her hard times. But she's already done that and she wants to live in the past and not move forward. Ok, So be it, I can’t help noticing it, and if that offends you, that is too bad. Holly is very talented and creative. For example, she designed the merchandise (clothing and jewelry)for GND! Why not channel her energy into something positive instead of continuing with the sad playboy past life? She could start a clothing line, jewelry line, wig line, makeup line, anything she wants, and she could be a success. She has the fame, name, and followers to make it happen. I hope she realizes this someday, and I wish her well. As a fan of Holly’s, you too should encourage her, and hopefully you have moved on with your own life as well.

[@Primseygirl101]

@@ligiaklaver90 I don’t like it so I won’t comment anything else!

[@EloWorld11]

a) You do realise that reality tv is heavily edited? b) His last wife Crystal has started to verify what Holly has been saying so I think a lot of the trauma comes from being the main girl, hence, why Bridgette and Kendra didn't have the same experience

[@kitsiewr]

Absolutely agree - they were thrilled to ride that gravy train. Now the money is in being woke, they say whatever sells.

[@priscillaribeiro1988]

I love how they literally answer every question that everyone basically wants to know and they’re super honest about it… When Kendra was interviewed, it was a very hard interview to watch. She was acting very anxious. Nervous didn’t really want to talk about when she lived at the mansion, but when she talked about her realtor career, she completely opened up but people don’t wanna hear about that. They want to hear about what happened at the mansion so hurt Kendra’s interview. It was just awful but she might’ve been protecting her children’s ears with not talking about stuff like that.

[@ridingtheroad185]

maybe she finds no need to continue using that to make $$. Holly didn't get the baby or Marriage certificate, I get it, she's bitter.

[@priscillaribeiro1988]

Great video Heather! Looking forward to seeing you In Vegas! I am a new juicy scooper.

You are the best!

[@EHCBunny4real]

My dad must be different because he always told me that Playboy was a form of female exploitation. He said it was soft porn

[@ct6852]

Definitely soft porn. But the pictures were always beautiful and made the ladies look classy. I don't know...maybe that was all just a front, like the GND, to make it seem harmless.

[@wisewillow5731]

You did such a great job in this interview Heather! The girls felt relaxed and not judged. I've always felt these types of situations are mutually beneficial, so why not chat openly about it without fear of judgement?

[@domvas00]

why do i feel like holly spoke over bridget and didn’t leave much space for bridget to talk about her own answers much… i love holly but she didn’t leave much space to let bridget speak, holly was so quick to want to answer first and go on her own tangent without circling back and asking bridget what she thinks too. she answered for both of them a few times which isn’t right, holly isn’t the main girlfriend anymore like let everyone say their piece too

[@ericareese4361]

I wish Bridget was able to talk more. Would like to hear more from her perspective. Holly just over took the interview.

[@lizl2432]

I have a hard time believing 100% of Holly when she used the playboy name and Heff for all it’s worth and then now that it’s over she can look back and call him horrible, she was a participant …

[@debrasullivan7479]

She knew he had a dark character and thought that she could change Hef not realizing how deeply embedded that darkness was. Kendra and Bridgette were more grounded in reality. They saw it for what it was, an opportunity. Not judging, just an observation.

[@juliem.6536]

🧐 I like Bridgette but I kinda feel like she’s purposely naive, like she says her experience was mostly positive because she’s scared to tell the truth. She seems very non confrontational. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@leahb1233]

Yesss. Heather this is amazing. This is the best interview I've seen with these girls. You weren't afraid to ask the tough questions and get the juicy details and they weren't put off by it (like Kendra was when you had her on). Wish Holly would have let Bridget tell more of her story as Holly has beat hers to death, but loved this regardless! My only critique is research your guests a bit before. You asked Bridget if has children, and she struggled trying to get pregnant. Could have avoided the question.

The show portraits them doing all these fun things, traveling to some of the most beautiful places in luxury, getting plastic surgery they wanted, getting their teeth fixed, manicures, pedicures, hair, make up, fabulous clothes - many womens dreams. I can tell you for sure that many girls and women were watching them with envy and wishing they could trade places with them. Not all, of course, but many. We really didn’t know any better watching it in 2005(?) I don’t remember the exact year. I didn’t find out until I read Hollys book what was really going on behind the smiles.
