A pair of former Playboy Bunnies have said Hugh Hefner would fake cry to get them to have sex with him.
Speaking on their podcast Girls Next Level, Holly Madison and Bridget Marquardt explained that the Playboy editor would shed fake tears to get girls into his bedroom.
They've been spilling the beans on their time with Hefner in the Playboy Mansion on the podcast as of late, and have revealed all about what it was like living with someone who held 'all the power in the relationship'.
Madison said Hefner would 'start fake crying' as a form of emotional manipulation when he wanted sex from her and she felt unable to talk about it due to the power he held over her.

She explained that she initially thought she was the only one Hefner directed the fake tears at, but felt vindicated later when someone else moved into the mansion and asked her about it.
After learning it was a trick he pulled on other girls to manipulate them, Madison said her image of what Hefner was like changed.
Marquardt also recounted that in addition to Hefner using a fake cry to get the women at his mansion to have sex with him, they also had to follow him around and ask him for their $1,000 weekly allowance.
She said: "You had to track this multi-millionaire business mogul, who still, at that time, was very much the editor-in-chief of Playboy Magazine with a very busy day - you had to track him down and be like, 'Hi honey, can I collect my allowance?'"
Madison and Marquardt have previously talked about how having sex with the Playboy mogul was a 'chore' that nobody enjoyed.
They gave disturbing accounts on the podcast of having sex with Hefner in front of other women who would 'talk s**t about them' while it was happening.
Madison explained that it was something 'we had to do or else we'll get kicked out of the house', while they said Hefner would sometimes not move at all during sex.
In the documentary Secrets of Playboy, Madison previously revealed that living in the mansion was similar to being in a 'cult-like' environment where Hefner 'controlled every aspect of our life'.
She said the girls at the mansion had been 'gaslit' as they were expected to think of Hefner as 'this really good guy', but they had to ask him for money and follow strict curfews.
The pair are planning on making more revelations about their time living with Hugh Hefner in the Playboy mansion on future episodes of their podcast, Girls Next Level.
