NW uncovers what really went down inside Hef’s bunny-filled home...
Wild orgies! Illegal drugs! Rivers of booze! Hooker parties! Those are just a few of the hidden secrets from the legendary Playboy Mansion.
Uh-huh, the covers have been pulled back on the no-holds barred antics that went on behind closed doors at Hugh Hefner’s California compound.
“The Playboy Mansion was synonymous with lurid fantasy, A-list celebrity parties and wild debauchery,” says a pal of the late pipe-smoking publisher. “Hef ruled over it like a sexual king who had the most beautiful, young, willing women at the snap of a finger!”
The site of the famous party house sits on a 2.1-hectare estate in Holmby Hills, California. Hef paid $1.5 million for the property back in 1971, and immediately set about building the iconic mansion.
Within two years, he’d completed his Shangri-La, and over the next four decades turned the Playboy Mansion into a Disneyland for adults, where every hedonistic pleasure was within reach.
So what scandals emerged behind the gates? NW explores...
Hef had over 1000 sexual conquests
The original Playboy was once asked how many women he’d bedded.
“How could I possibly know? Over a thousand, I’m sure,” Hugh said. “There were chunks in my life when I was married, and when I was married, I never cheated. But I made up for it when I wasn’t married.”
His girls had to wear pink flannel pyjamas
Former Playmate Jill Ann Spaulding writes in her book Jill Ann: Upstairs, “On sex night you go upstairs and the girls that are brand new, or the girls who don’t have their own room yet, have to take a bath.
“That’s a requirement. You also have to put on a certain pair of pink pyjamas... They tell you to put them on, even though you take them offas soon as you enter Hef’s room.”
