Publisher Description

The shocking, never-before-told story of the bizarre world inside the legendary Playboy Mansion—and, finally, the secret truth about the man who holds the key—from one of the few people who truly knows: Hef’s former #1 girlfriend and star of The Girls Next Door

A spontaneous decision at age twenty-one transformed small-town Oregon girl Holly Sue Cullen into Holly Madison, Hugh Hefner’s #1 girlfriend. But like Alice’s journey into Wonderland, after Holly plunged down the rabbit hole, what seemed like a fairytale life inside the Playboy Mansion—including A-list celebrity parties and her own #1-rated television show for four years—quickly devolved into an oppressive routine of strict rules, manipulation, and battles with ambitious, backstabbing bunnies. 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.

But instead of ending her life, Holly chose to take charge of it.

In this shockingly candid and surprisingly moving memoir, this thoughtful and introspective woman opens up about life inside the Mansion, the drugs, the sex, the abuse, the infamous parties, and her real behind-the-scenes life with Bridget, Kendra, and, of course, Mr. Playboy himself.

With great courage, Holly shares the details of her subsequent troubled relationship, landing her own successful television series, and the hard work of healing, including her turn on Dancing with the Stars. A cautionary tale and a celebration of personal empowerment, Down the Rabbit Hole reminds us of the importance of fighting for our dreams—and finding the life we deserve.

I love Holly!

I loved the Girls Next Door when it was on air. Holly did always come off as the “*****y” one, and honestly this book is so insightful into what was really happening behind closed doors and why she appeared the way she did (but doesn’t make excuses). Honestly shows how brainwashing works. The Playboy mansion was basically a cult and good for Holly for realizing it and never turning back.

Simply amazing

I’ve always wanted to read the book but was never able to, but now that the girls next level podcast is out it reminded me of this book so I finally went ahead and bought it and I don’t regret it. Great book, great stories, and Holly’s voice on the audio book is very soothing.

Easy listening

I watched the girls on tv. If you liked that, you will like this. Holly reads well and tells her story. Nothing was surprising, but I still enjoyed listening to it.
