Ex-Playboy model who's now homeless and living in a tent shares what it was really like living with Hugh Hefner

Louise Glover's life is completely different now compared to when she was a Playboy model

A former Playboy model who is now homeless has lifted the lid on what it was like living at Hugh Hefner’s mansion back in the 2000s.

At one point, Louise Glover was living the high life: Living in Los Angeles in the Playboy Mansion and rubbing shoulders with some of the biggest celebrities in the world.

But that life likely seems a lifetime away as her living conditions now are considerably different.

The British model almost died at the age of 27 after developing septicemia following breast implant surgery, and later went into cardiac arrest.

She insisted that this was a ‘wake up call’ for the model and she decided to shift away from Playboy and move towards fitness and lifestyle modelling.

"I nearly died because I was so ill from the infection. That was a wake-up call for me," she recently told The Sun. "I started to train and moved into fitness and lifestyle modelling. I had deals with most of the major brands."

However, despite having some success following the career shift, while living in London and paying £750 ($983) in rent a month, her business began to struggle.

Now, she lives in Reading, UK, in a field where she paid just £60 ($78) to set up her temporary home.

Glover still reminisces positively about living at the mansion, however, and has insisted it was a wonderful experience for her.

"It was the best time, like another world," she said of her time partying with celebrities while working for Hugh Hefner. "I didn’t even think about it that much at the time, but I was hanging out with the biggest names in the world."

Louise went on: "I loved all the other Playboy models, we were like a family. I really liked Hugh, he was a total gentleman."

Due to her new financial difficulties, many people on social media have suggested the model simply start an OnlyFans page.

However, the model is vehemently opposed to going down this route, despite the financial success the platform has allowed for some women.

Louise said: "I have too much self-respect for myself to go stripping as some have suggested. People ask me, 'Why don’t you do OnlyFans?'.

"But I would rather get my life together and live here, in this field. I don’t need to lower myself to that. I have morals and self-respect."
