Holly Madison has made it clear that she’s not friends with Kendra Wilkinson, but she’s apparently still friends with, and has the support of, Bridget Marquardt. On Thursday, a day after the media reported that Holly blasted Kendra in her new memoir, Down the Rabbit Hole , Bridget posted a throwback photo of herself with Holly. Holly retweeted the photo.

The photo was taken in 2008, during the time when Holly, Kendra, and Bridget were on the E! reality TV show Girls Next Door , which depicted their lives as Playboy founder Hugh Hefner’s three girlfriends and which ran from 2005 to 2009. In the episode that showed the women partying in New Orleans for Mardi Gras, all three got along, with Holly even going out and bringing back beignets for them when they fell ill.
Yet all was not what it seemed. As reported by E! News on Wednesday, in Holly Madison’s new memoir, she slams Kendra Wilkinson as “the fakest person [she has] ever met.” Excerpts from the memoir reveal that there’s no love lost between Holly and Kendra.
“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…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.”
Holly calls Kendra out as a liar.
“In Kendra’s book Sliding into Home , she describes Hef asking her to be a girlfriend and handing her a house key before he invited her up to the bedroom. 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.”
Holly also slams Kendra for thinking that she’s better than her and Bridget.
“Kendra had apparently given an interview to a tabloid explaining that she wasn’t friends with either of us [herself and Bridget Marquardt, Hef’s third girlfriend at the time] as if she were somehow better than everyone else…Of course I wasn’t going to stoop to her level and address this only on social media, so I decided to text her how I truly felt: that she was a coward and that she tried to act like the ‘real’ girl on TV, but she’s the fakest person I’ve ever met—and that if she had a problem with me, she should have confronted me like an adult instead of just going silent. After that, I deleted her number from my phone. Kendra and I haven’t spoken since, and I have to say, I don’t miss her.”
As the Inquisitr previously reported, Holly also says in her memoir that Kendra lied to Hugh about having once worked as a stripper . After all three women left Hugh’s mansion, he started a relationship with Crystal Hefner, whom he married in early 2013.
While Bridget Marquadt has seemingly shown her support for Holly Madison speaking out about their Playboy days by posting the throwback photo, Kendra Wilkinson has remained silent. Perhaps Kendra, who is currently filming Food Network’s Worst Cooks in America: Celebrity Edition and can be seen on We TV’s Marriage Boot Camp: Reality Stars , has just decided not to engage Holly?
