'Sh***y gold digger!': Hugh Hefner's son Cooper slams Holly Madison on Twitter after her scathing appraisal of his dad in her tell-all book 

Holly Madison accused Hugh Hefner of being less than a decent boyfriend in her new tell-all book Down The Rabbit Hole.

Soon after the 89-year-old Playboy publisher lashed out at her, saying she was trying to 'rewrite history' during her days at the Playboy mansion.

And on Friday his 23-year-old son Cooper jumped in on the fight, taking a pot shot at the 35-year-old blonde. 'Sh***y gold digger,' he wrote on Twitter.

'How does a person who is famous for being a gold digger paint themselves as a victim of a relationship they aggressively sought out for?' he wrote on Tuesday.

Cooper then went on to lump Holly in the same class as V. Stiviano, the alleged former mistress of disgraced ex-Clippers owner Donald Sterling, who was forced to sell the team after making racist comments in a secretly recorded conversation with her.

'Holly Madison, V. Stiviano, and a few other lovely ladies that lived in LA make a Justice League type group of wonderfully sh***y people.'

Cooper is Hef's youngest child, born to his second wife and 1989 Playmate of the Year Kimberley Conrad. He is expected to take over as the public face of Playboy after his father.

In her book, Down The Rabbit Hole: Curious Adventures and Cautionary Tales of a Former Playboy Bunny, Holly describes Hefner senior as pathetic.

The-mother-of-one even says life in the Playboy Mansion became so depressing that she contemplated suicide, and that sex with Hefner was the most 'disconnected experience' of her life.

Hugh himself immediately rebuffed the claims as soon as the excerpts were published.

'Over the course of my life I've had more than my fair share of romantic relationships with wonderful women,' he said in a statement. 'Many moved on to live happy, healthy, and productive lives, and I’m pleased to say remain dear friends today.

'Sadly, there are a few who have chosen to rewrite history in an attempt to stay in the spotlight. I guess, as the old saying goes: You can’t win 'em all!'

The feud comes 15 years after Madison met Hefner. She is now married to Electric Daisy Carnival organizer Pasquale Rotella, 41, with a two-year-old daughter, Rainbow.
