Kendra Wilkinson has a very simple explanation for inspiration behind the tell-all book of Holly Madison: revenge. In an interview with People Now, Hank Baskett's wife defended the Playboy magnate, Hugh Hefner, and pointed out that Madison's "Down the Rabbit Hole: Curious Adventures and Cautionary Tales of a Former Playboy Bunny" is nothing more than a public relations stunt to once again put her name in the spotlight.
"She had this ulterior motive every minute being at the mansion," Wilkinson says (via Los Angeles Times). She adds, "It was clear as day, she wanted Hef's kids, she wanted a piece of Playboy, and she wanted to marry Hef for, obviously, his will." As everybody knows by now, Hefner did not marry Madison. This failure to achieve her goal, according to Wilkinson, drove her former "The Girls Next Door" co-star to find another way to get back at Hefner. Wilkinson explains, "So what do you think's gonna happen? Revenge. We're witnessing some revenge here."
In the tell-all book of Madison, she described her most intimate experiences with Hefner as well as delved into the dynamics of the relationships among the ladies in the Playboy mansion. In an exclusive sneak peek of "Down the Rabbit Hole: Curious Adventures and Cautionary Tales of a Former Playboy Bunny," New York Post showed some of the excerpts from the now controversial book.
"I felt like Playboy represented a key to the glamorous life - that it would be a stepping stone," Madison reveals to the Post, referring to the first time she laid eyes on the Playboy Mansion. She adds, "Everyone just made the Playmates sound like a fun little sorority." The first time was immediately followed by several more visits to the mansion which eventually bore fruit as Madison became one of Hefner's girlfriends at that time.
Since Madison's book is filled with personal reflections and revelation regarding her life in the Playboy mansion, it came as no surprise that Hefner took center stage. While the model revealed intimate things about him and his house, the millionaire shrugged off the criticism and issued a simple statement regarding the matter.
"Over the course of my life I've had more than my fair share of romantic relationships with wonderful women," Hefner disclosed in an official statement published by People Magazine. He added, "Many moved on to live happy, healthy and productive lives and I'm pleased to say remain dear friends today. Sadly, there are a few who have chosen to rewrite history in an attempt to stay in the spotlight." To conclude his statement, Hefner borrowed a widely known adage and wrote, "I guess, as the old saying goes: You can't win 'em all."
