The late Hugh Hefner finally gets his reckoning in a new ten-part docuseries on A&E that exposes the dark underbelly of Playboy and Hefner himself

He left behind a muddled legacy, one that wavered between sexual icon and alleged abuser. He died just before the explosion of the Me Too movement, and many critics felt that, as a result, he skirted his inevitable reckoning.
Of course, Secrets of Playboy isn’t the first time we’ve heard that Hefner’s universe was a toxic environment for women. But the series — which brings together Hefner’s former girlfriends, Playmates, Bunny Mothers, associates, and more — provides disturbing new insight into just how deep that toxicity ran.
Hefner allegedly didn’t use protection during group sex. In an interview, Madison recalls how Hefner offered her quaaludes, which she says he called “thigh openers,” on their first night out together. She also recalls the first traumatic sexual encounter she had with him. Madison claims Hefner lay on the center of the bed while pornography played on a television screen and a group of backlit women surrounded him. Madison says that Hefner didn’t wear protection during the group sex.
Hefner allegedly abused Bunnies at the mansion and gave his celebrity friends carte blanche to do the same. At the Playboy clubs, where many former Bunnies were proud to work, Hefner allegedly imposed strict rules between Bunnies and members or key holders: Key holders couldn’t touch the Bunnies or date them. But the rules were different for VIP celebrities, says Masten. According to her, Bunnies were encouraged to mingle and go home with VIP members.
