Holly Madison, Kendra Wilkinson Feud Favors Playboy King Hugh Hefner As Kendra’s Marriage To Hank Struggles [Photos]
Holly Madison considers Kendra Wilkinson to be a fake. And not just any fake, but former Playboy Bunny Holly regards Kendra as the worst fake that she’s ever encountered, reported E! News.
The two erstwhile Playboy pals have much in common. They simultaneously dated Hugh Hefner. Co-stars of Girls Next Door for four years, Kendra even resided in the Playboy Mansion at the same time as Holly. Madison, however, says Kendra never became her true friend.
In her tell-all Down the Rabbit Hole, Madison dissed Kendra as unwilling to accept her attempts to be kind.
“The fakest person I’ve ever met [and] despite my attempts to befriend Kendra, she continued to push me away. Hungry from her own ‘team,’ Kendra desperately tried to make each new Playmate who arrived at the mansion her friend—and her friend alone.”
In addition, says Holly, Kendra lied about her relationship with Hugh Hefner in her own memoir. Madison recalls Kendra moving into the Playboy Mansion and getting a wake-up call.
“At 19 years old, Kendra was stuck with a 9 p.m. curfew, a 78-year-old boyfriend, and a stricter set of rules than she had ever had at home. And now, adding insult to injury, she was finally realizing that she wasn’t as special as Hef made her believe. She was just another blond girlfriend—and life at the mansion wasn’t all she imagined it to be.”
Wilkinson wrote a book, Sliding into Home, claiming that Hefner wanted her to be his girlfriend and giving her a house key even before she set foot over the threshold of his bedroom. Wrong, retorts Holly. Madison claims that Kendra was not an exception to the Playboy king’s house rules.
“Now, I don’t know if Kendra is trying to sound extra-desirable, innocent, or if her memory is just super rusty, but of course that’s not how it really went down. Hef isn’t stupid. He never asked anyone to become a girlfriend before they joined him in bed. And he never made a habit of carrying around extra sets of room keys.”
While Holly disses Kendra in her book, Wilkinson is having her own problems in her current marriage to Hank Baskett. However, as the Inquisitr reported, Kendra claims that the reality TV show Marriage Boot Camp has helped.
Struggling to recover from Hank’s reported affair with a transgender model, the 29-year-old former Playboy bunny and 32-year-old athlete found help when the therapists on Marriage Boot Camp helped them focus on their relationship rather than their children Hank IV, 5, and Alija, 1.
“We decided to do the show because at the time we were going through a huge marital crisis that needed to be dealt with. We were seeking therapy, but we would go home and we would have to take care of two young kids, and the focus would go back on them and never about us. So when this opportunity came to get away for two weeks, with no kids, no distractions, that is exactly what we needed at that time.”
How does Holly Madison’s marriage compare to Kendra’s relationship? Holly’s husband, Pasquale Rotella, stays primarily in the shadows of his wife, reported the Daily Mail.
However, when opportunities arise that they can’t resist to share as a family, Pasquale takes charge of their daughter, Rainbow, while Holly poses for the ever-present paparazzi.
