It may have been over a decade since The Girls Next Door first aired on E!, but it still hasn’t been forgotten quite yet.
The Girls Next Door — which ran for six seasons from 2005 to 2010 — gave viewers an inside look at the eventful lives of the late Hugh Hefner’s three main girlfriends: Holly Madison, Bridget Marquardt and Kendra Wilkinson. In the show’s final season, however, the focus was shifted towards Heftner’s new girlfriends: Crystal Hefner and twins Kristina Shannon and Karissa Shannon. (Hugh and Crystal eventually tied the knot in 2012 and stayed together until Hefner’s death in 2017.)
While their lives may have seemed glamorous on the show, some of the girls have come out with claims that their lives in the Playboy Mansion were not as great as they may have seemed.
“Life in the mansion wasn’t the fairy tale I had once hoped it would be,” Crystal wrote in her January 2024 memoir, Only Say Good Things: Surviving Playboy and Finding Myself. “From the outside, sure, it had all the trappings of a fairy tale. But it wasn’t, and everyone who lived there knew it.”
In the book, Crystal also shared that there were various “unspoken rules” after moving into the Playboy Mansion including having to always adore Hugh and another was that the girls were pressured to get plastic surgery, which Crystal claimed made the women in the house “competitive.”
“It was unspoken but also very clear that there was no other option if I wanted to stay,” she explained.
