It turns out life at Hugh Hefner’s Playboy Mansion wasn’t exactly clean, by any means
A former ‘Bunny’ has revealed the horrifying reality of living in the Playboy mansion.
While celebrities from the likes of Mike Tyson and Jack Nicholson to Rihanna and Leonardo DiCaprio would head over to Hugh Hefner’s house for the infamous parties, the bloke of course had a set of women living there.
The Girls Next Door reality series gave fans an insight into life there, with the Bunnies shacked up under one roof alongside the millionaire’s wife and girlfriends.
Let’s be honest, when most of us think of what it must be like to live in the Playboy mansion, there’s a few key things that come to mind: glamour, money and well, sex. But as many of the old Bunnies open up about their time there, it turns out it was pretty ‘grubby’.

Izabella St. James previously wrote a tell-all memoir about her time at the Los Angeles mansion, called Bunny Tales, as she revealed: “We all did our best to decorate our rooms and make them homely, but the mattresses on our beds were disgusting – old, worn and stained.”
She explained that Hef ‘eventually’ gave them permission to have their rooms painted and re-carpeted.
“He liked the girlfriends’ rooms to look very girly, all white carpet and pink walls,” the magazine publisher’s former girlfriend added.
“Hef was used to dirty carpets. The one in his bedroom had not been changed for years, and things became significantly worse when Holly Madison moved into his room with him as Girlfriend No. 1 soon after I moved in, bringing her two dogs.”
St. James claimed the dogs weren’t house trained and would just ‘do their business’ on the carpet.

“Late at night, if any of us visited Hef’s bedroom, we’d almost always end up standing in dog mess,” she said.
Yeah, not quite the Playboy glamour you’d probably imagine.
And she really went in as the former model continued: “Everything in the Mansion felt old and stale, and Archie the house dog would regularly relieve himself on the hallway curtains, adding a powerful whiff of urine to the general scent of decay.”
Former model Jenna Bentley, who lived there for a year, previously revealed some of the strict rules for the Playboy Mansion (seems the dogs had it a little more relaxed).
She explained that the women had a 9pm curfew and if you missed it, you were apparently sleeping in the garden.
Well, maybe that was cleaner than the carpets.
