On the December 13, 2021 episode of the Power: Hugh Hefner podcast, Madison shared intimate details about her first sexual encounter with Hefner, describing it as “traumatic.”
“I was wasted,” she recounted, explaining how the situation unfolded. “He was literally pushed on top of me. And after it happened, I was just mortified and embarrassed, and it had way more of an emotional impact on me than I thought it would.”
Madison did not anticipate having sex that night, expecting instead a more conventional first date experience.
“I thought it would be more the type of thing where I saw what happened, saw what was going on. If I wasn’t comfortable with it, I wouldn’t have to do anything, and I could make my decision on whether I wanted to come back for date No. 2 or not,” she explained.
Reflecting on her initial impressions of Hefner, Madison remarked, “I thought he was really smart, I really looked up to him, so I liked him, and it wasn’t that the idea of possibly having sex with him repelled me so much – I know that’s not relatable to a lot of people because they’re like, ‘Oh, he’s an old man, gross.'”
However, it was the group aspect of the encounter that unsettled her. “It was more the group aspect that was really out of my comfort zone and just the feeling of ‘Wow, OK, that happened. Everybody knows it happened,'” she said, reflecting on the unsettling experience. “I kind of all of a sudden felt like everybody was going to know about me, and I was horrified by it.”
Following this distressing incident, Madison decided it was time to ask Hefner if she could move into the Playboy Mansion.
“I felt like, ‘There’s no taking that back, so I might as well get what I came for,'” Madison elaborated. “I felt like by moving myself in and getting what I wanted from the situation, that was demanding respect in a way. I felt like if I didn’t do that, I was just going to be haunted by this experience.”
