'He left his will for me to see!' Holly Madison claims Hugh Hefner tried to persuade her to stay with him by leaving her $3m
Holly Madison has claimed that Hugh Hefner tried to persuade her to stay at the Playboy Mansion by leaving his will out for her to see.
The former Playboy Playmate, 35, told Oprah Winfrey that when she collected her belongings from Hefner's room after dumping him, she found his will stating he'd left her $3million.
'It was very clear to me that he’d left that out for me to see, because he was hoping it would change my mind and get me to stay,' she said.
Bribe? Holly Madison claimed Hug Hefner left his will, stating he was leaving her $3 million, out for her to see as a way to try and stop her moving out. She's pictured with the Playboy mogul in 2008, the year she left him
Holly left the Playboy founder in 2008 after seven years as his girlfriend and starred in the E! reality series Girls Next Door with fellow girlfriends Bridget Marquardt and Kendra Wilkinson.
'I just had enough and just realized all the delusions I’d been under and that this was no longer the life for me,' she explained during an interview for Oprah: Where Are They Now? that aired Saturday.
When she saw the will left in plain sight, she claims she wasn't at all tempted to reconsider moving out.
'It just kinda disgusted me more than anything because all he can do is say, ‘Oh, here, I’m gonna throw you some money to get you to stay.’ It just grossed me out,' she said.
Made her famous: Holly, now 35, spent seven years with Hefner and became his number one girlfriend. But she now says it 'grossed her out' that he tried to bribe her to stay with him

In June, Holly published the memoir Down the Rabbit Hole: Curious Adventures And Cautionary Tales Of A Former Playboy Bunny and has been cashing in on her insider tales of life at the layboy mansion.
She's also planning to write another book about relationships.
Now married to Pasqualle Rotella with whom she has a two-year-old daughter Rainbow, the 35-year-old was just 21 when she became one of Hefner's girlfriends.
In an interview with Stylist magazine published in August, Holly said she never enjoyed having sex with Hefner, now 89, and just wanted to ‘get it over with’.
‘The sex was very routine, and something I don't think any of the girls really enjoyed,' she said.
‘I just wasn't into the group aspect. It was embarrassing, and it wasn't something I would typically do in the bedroom,' she added.
Tell all: In June, the former Playmate published a book about life inside the Playboy mansion called Down The Rabbit Hole: Curious Adventures And Cautionary Tales Of A Former Playboy Bunny
However, her former playmate and reality show co-star Kendra has claimed Holly should ‘appreciate’ the lifestyle Hefner gave her.
Playboy mogul Hefner released a statement following the publication of Down The Rabbit Hole that said: ‘Over the course of my life I've had more than my fair share of romantic relationships with wonderful women.
‘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!’
Grateful: Former Girls Next Door star and Hefner girlfriend Kendra Wilkinson, pictured in August, has said Holly should be appreciative of the life that Hefner opened up for her
