Hugh Hefner's ex-girlfriend, Kendra Wilkinson, has revealed what she will tell her daughter about her time in the Playboy Mansion.
Hefner's Playboy began as a men's lifestyle and entertainment magazine in 1953, but snowballed into an empire which eventually became the notorious Playboy Mansion.
Many of the late 91-year-old's so-called bunnies and Playmates have spoken out about their experiences in the infamous house, with accusations about Hefner's conduct coming under scrutiny since his death in 2017.
One of his ex-girlfriends, Wilkinson, who although wasn't a Playboy playmate, appeared in nude images and shot to fame on the E! reality TV series, The Girls Next Door.

During an appearance on The Skinny Confidential Him & Her Podcast, Wilkinson reflected on her time in the mansion as both 'heavenly' and 'lame'.
The 39-year-old said: "All I did was work to and eat, work out, eat. I would be like preparing for the next party or something, 'What am I going to wear'. That took a week out of the time.
"What else? It was just like heaven. It was a heavenly experience for me. Like there couldn't have been a better experience."
However, there were some downsides, notably the sex as she said it was 'blah' but a way to 'survive'.
"I had to survive, I was in survival mode. I chose what I chose. I made the choice to move into the Playboy Mansion, have sex for money with Hugh Hefner and I actually lived an amazing five years of my life. I have no regret," Wilkinson added.
She argued she 'had to do' what she 'had to do'.
As for her daughter, who was born in May 2014, Wilkinson says she's already pondered on what to say to her.
She continued: "You know like, people are like how can you say that when you have a daughter. Like I've heard people say [...] 'What would you tell your daughter?'"
"But to tell my daughter, 'Oh like what would I tell her?' I wouldn't want her to be in that position of having to choose that," Wilkinson added, referring to the mom-of-two's career path.
Instead, she said she's 'already' talking to her 10-year-old daughter about going to college, and while she had a great five years and doesn't regret 'having sex for money', she doesn't necessarily want her daughter to follow in the same footsteps, saying she 'definitely' has more options.
Wilkinson concluded: "I had to do what I had to do and I have no regrets about that. I honestly cannot say anything bad about my experience living there. My choices were mine."
