THESE are the seven most shocking Playboy Mansion revelations from a cocaine-addicted dog to Hugh Hefner’s “Pig Night” orgies.
There are shocking stories about Hugh Hefner’s Playboy Mansion — some of which are revealed in Secrets of Playboy, an upcoming A&E docuseries that begins in the US on the A&E Network on January 24.
A&E TV explains: “The documentary event ‘Secrets of Playboy’ explores the hidden truths behind the fable and philosophy of the Playboy empire through a modern-day lens.
“The series delves into the complex world Hugh Hefner created and examines its far-reaching consequences on our culture’s view of power and sexuality.”
COCAINE-ADDICTED DOG
The new TV documentary reveals a revelation made by Sondra Theodore — an ex-girlfriend of the late sex magnate —claiming Hefner had so much cocaine in his Playboy mansion that a pal’s poodle got addicted to it.
And the dog’s habit got so bad he was locked away during parties as he’d try to lick guests’ noses for a fix.
The American actress and model claims the mutt got addicted after dipping his nose into the “huge vials” of white powder dotted around the infamous property in Los Angeles.
Sondra, 65, says: “There were drugs everywhere … Hef’s best friend, he had a dog Louis — and this tiny poodle got hooked on cocaine.”

She continues: “The dog could smell it from across the room. He had to lock that dog up when people were around.
“A very famous person walked into the house one night and that dog jumped off the couch and was licking her up the nose.
“She goes: ‘He just loves me.’ We knew why that dog was on her.”
Lisa Loving Barrett, who worked for Hefner from 1977 to 1989, says in Secrets of PlayBoy: “Cocaine was a big deal.”
She recalls that at a couple of the larger parties a pile of the Class A drug was under a toilet paper holder in a downstairs loo.
‘PIG NIGHT’ ORGIES
A former valet of Hefner claims the late Playboy founder was a “dirty old man” who enjoyed drug-fuelled parties with prostitutes and celebs.
From 1978 to 1979, Stefan Tetenbaum worked as Hefner’s valet and claims he was tasked with cleaning the infamous womanizer’s sex toys after orgies featuring porn stars and A-listers.
Speaking with the New York Post, the 67-year-old alleged that Hefner would organize debauched swingers parties at the Playboy Mansion known as “Pig Nights.”
These evenings would involve hookers romping with the multi-millionaire’s friends and well-endowed porn actors.
Tetenbaum, who claims “Hef” didn’t even bother to learn his name, says the legendary publisher would even hire transsexual prostitutes to have sex with stars such as Blue Brothers actor John Belushi.
He said: “On certain nights, Mr. Hefner had prostitutes brought up to the mansion and he would entertain them with a big dinner and invite his friends to come and participate in different intimate acts with them.
“It was called ‘Pig Night.’ Sometimes the women had penises and Hefner didn’t want to be involved with that, although some of the other guests, especially John Belushi, they didn’t mind.”
But the former valet, who now works as a sculptor in Redondo Beach, California, also insists Hef rarely had sex at the parties and would instead watch others romping while chomping on “red licorice.”
‘LEG SPREADERS’
Former playmate Sondra Theodore claimed in a Secrets of Playboy trailer clip that Hefner “pretended he wasn’t involved in any drug use at the mansion, but that was just a lie.”
She said the Quaaludes, also known as methaqualone, were “used for sex.”
“Usually you just took a half. If you took two, you’d pass out,” Theodore explained, according to Buzzfeed.
She claimed: “It was such a seduction, and the men knew this… that they could get girls to do just about anything they wanted if they gave them a Quaalude.”
Lisa Loving Barrett, who worked as Hefner’s assistant for 12 years, also revealed in the docuseries that Hefer referred to the drug as “leg spreaders,” Insider reports.
She revealed that she, Hefner, and other workers in the mansion had prescriptions for the drug in their names.
MANSION WAS ‘LIKE A CULT’
Hefner’s ex Holly Madison opened up about her experience living in the Playboy mansion claiming it was like a “cult” because the women were “isolated from the outside world.”
The model dated the Playboy founder from between 2001 and 2008 while residing in the famed LA mansion.
Holly revealed what it was really like behind closed doors in Secrets of a Playboy, describing the living situation as “cult-like.”
The former Playboy Playmate explained her take on the atmosphere in a clip saying: “The reason I think the Mansion was very cult-like, looking back on it, is because we were all kind of gaslit and expected to think of Hef as, like, this really good guy.
“You started to feel like, ‘Oh, he’s not what they say in the media — he’s just a nice man,'” she added.
The Girls Next Door star also claimed that Hugh would often keep the women holed up in the home away from other people.
“Another thing that reminds me of a cult is how it was so easy to get isolated from the outside world there,” she said.
“You had a 9 o’clock curfew, you were encouraged to not have friends over. You weren’t really allowed to leave unless it was, like, a family holiday.”
To ensure that the girls left the property as little as possible, Holly claimed that Hugh paid them weekly so they didn’t have to go to work.
”He said it made him jealous, and he would appreciate it if I quit my job. So, instead, we were given $1,000 a week as an allowance.”
‘ANIMAL FECES EVERYWHERE’
Former Playboy Playmate Kendra Wilkinson shocked fans after revealing that the infamous mansion “smelled like s**t and had animal feces everywhere” when she lived there with Hugh Hefner from 2004 to 2009.
Kendra, 36, appeared on the Hollywood Raw podcast with Dax Holt and Adam Glyn, where she opened up about life in Hefner’s home, among other things.
The former Girls Next Door star started talking about her current career as a real estate agent.
She shared with hosts Dax and Adam that she was recently asked to list a house once featured on Hoarders, before the conversation turned toward the Playboy mansion.
Dax asked: “If you had to list the Playboy Mansion, what would be one of the disclosures you would throw out there since you know that place better than most people?”
The former playmate responded: “Definitely the dog s**t smell; definitely stuck to the wall. Dog s**t and animal feces everywhere.”
Dax then asked: “Would you take that listing if someone came to you? Because obviously, it’s in new ownership now. But would you take a listing if they said, ‘We want you to sell the Playboy mansion?’
Kendra answered: “Yeah, definitely.”
She didn’t delve any deeper into why the house smelled so strongly of animal feces, nor why it was everywhere.
STRICT RULES
Playboy model Carla Howe previously told how the girls had a strict 9pm curfew, saying that none of them were even allowed to invite friends to the mansion to see them.
Speaking to The Sun in 2021, she said the house was “more like an old people’s home” than a haven for wild sex.
The Brit beauty said: “He almost never leaves home and refuses to change anything in the mansion, so the whole place feels like it’s stuck in the 1980s.”
And Carla’s twin, Melissa, added that there were strict rules all the women have to follow while they were living in the 22-bedroom mansion.
She said: “If you do something wrong, you’ll get an email. There’s a strict code of conduct. There are even rules about Instagram and Twitter.”
“You’ve got to show everything in a good light and if you’re drunk in a picture you’ll be in trouble.”
While the Playboy Bunnies could enjoy nights on the town at Hefner’s expense, the live-in girlfriends didn’t have much freedom, Kendra claimed.
She said she had to be at home every night by 9pm, which made her feel trapped.
‘BEASTIALITY’ CLAIMS
In the upcoming A&E documentary series, a disturbing incident involving the late pornstar Linda Lovelace, who found fame in the 1970s with the movie Deep Throat, is alleged to have happened at the director of Hefner.
It’s claimed that during a visit to the Playboy Mansion, Lovelace was allegedly forced to perform oral sex on a German Shepard while Hefner and his friends watched.
The adult performer had reportedly been driven to the Mansion for an orgy, but things quickly took a turn.
Former Playboy Bunny Mother PJ Masten said: “All the guys were laughing when she got out of the limousine. She was drunk and drugged.
“All of a sudden out of nowhere a German Shepherd shows up. They got her so messed up they made her give the German shepherd oral sex,” she claimed.
“You want to talk about depravity? This is despicable!”
Hefner’s ex-girlfriend Theodore recalled an alleged similar incident, claiming she once walked in on the infamous porn publisher pleasuring their dog with his hand.
“I walked in once, and he was [gestures with hand] to our dog,” she said.
“I said, ‘What are you doing?’ He said, ‘Dogs have needs.’ I said, ‘Stop that!’ I never let him be alone with our dog again.”
Secrets of Playboy will air on A&E on January 24, 2022.
