"And I was already living in this situation that was very cult-like." "It’s kind of turned into this miserable experience but an experience I felt like I was kind of stuck in," she shared.

And despite the show’s popularity, Madison claimed they weren’t properly compensated.
"They didn’t pay us for the first half of the season," she alleged. "They just thought we would just do it for free because we were there.They really treated us like children. Like we were just Hef’s kids, and we were expected to work ‘cause we were family or something like that." Holly Madison starred in ‘The Girls Next Door’ alongside Kendra Wilkinson (left)
