If there’s one thing that can be said of Hugh Hefner and his now departing trio of blond bunnies - they’re candid. Holly Madison, long considered Hef’s main girlfriend, has been open about her desire to start a family with the 82 year-old Playboy head. Now that their relationship is over she’s talking about the details to In Touch. She said that things just fell apart after months of in vitro fertility treatments were unsuccessful and she became depressed. Once she realized that she couldn’t get pregnant from the randy geezer, she hightailed it out of there. Madison, 28, says she’s looking for something else in life now, but that she did love Hef while they were together. She also claims that she hasn’t had sex with anyone else yet and that she’s just finding her way. In this interview she says a few things that she’s said in the past about wanting to move out of the mansion and not looking for another boyfriend, but she also gives some more information about what ended it for them.
Was Hef mad at you for revealing you had split?
I think he’s upset. There were a lot of people - not just Hef - who wanted me to pretend we were still together for the sake of the show. I tried to do that for a few weeks, but I couldn’t live like that.
Did you really love him?
I devoted 100 percent of myself to Hef the whole time we were together.
Were you trying to get pregnant?
We tried for me to get pregnant by in vitro fertilization, because it wasn’t going to happen the old fashioned way.
Did you have any success with the fertility treatments?
When the IVF didn’t work out after months of giving myself injections every day and feeling horrible, the clinic informed me it wasn’t possible because he was too old. I feel they were just after my money because they knew there was a 99-percent chance it was impossible.

When she says the clinic was after “my money” that suggests that she paid for the IVF herself. Maybe she saw it as an investment.
Holly also says she’ll never reconcile with Hef and that she’ll never be with another man that old again. And she’s really clear and outspoken about it. As for the rumors that she’s dating Chris Angel, she said that’s not true and they’re just friends. She plans to leave the mansion by Halloween and move into a condo she purchased nearby.
She says she’s worried about the new girls, 19 year-old twins Kristina and Karissa Shannon, taking advantage of Hef now that she’s leaving:
Hef has moved on.
Yeah, Hef’s always looking for younger women. I’m 28 years old and I feel like I need something more in life, so that’s probably why he’s with some really young girls. They’re just looking to have fun, I guess.
How do you feel about being replaced so quickly?
I worry about Hef. He’s vulnerable emotionally and I worry about girls taking advantage.

Hugh’s new twins have rap sheets - they received probation for felony aggravated battery in Florida after being up two fellow employees at the chicken wing establishment where they were working at the time. One of the twins was also arrested a couple of months earlier for kicking the other one in the face. Madison says she was “disappointed” to hear that about them and that “I worked on their Playmate pictorial with them and they didn’t mention that when they filled out their data sheet. I just hope that they stay out of trouble.”
Maybe those two terrors know exactly what they’re getting into. As skeevy as it looks, it seems both sides are taking advantage. At least the first set of Hef’s girlfriends knew well enough to leave when it wasn’t working out for them.
