Where are Playboy’s Girls Next Door now? | WATCH

The long-antiquated “Playboy bunnies” became an unlikely cultural phenomenon once again back in the noughties, when Hugh Hefner invited viewers inside the Playboy Mansion in the The Girls Next Door, also known as The Girls of the Playboy Mansion.

The late Hefner’s harem of blonde girlfriends became famous to a new generation thanks to the E! reality show, which ran for six seasons from 2005 to 2009, with fans hooked on the jet-setting lives and wild partying of the Playmates.

The show highlighted the feuds and friendships between Hefner’s three main live-in girlfriends – Holly Madison, Bridget Marquardt and Kendra Wilkinson – with Crystal Harris (who later married Hefner) joining the fold.

Life in the mansion has taken on a different light over the past decade and thanks to the newly released docuseries Secrets of Playboy. We have learned that the glamour hid a toxic and misogynistic lifestyle that oversexualized the young models.

Despite this, some of Playboy magnate Hefner’s loyal fans still claim that these women knew better and should not blame the magazine magnate, who died in 2017 aged 91. Hefner’s son Cooper recently also tweeted that the salacious story was nothing more than “a case study of regret becoming revenge”.
