Hugh Hefner's former squeeze Holly Madison has a new book coming out, and she reveals that, shockingly, her time as one of Hef's girlfriends was not one of the best.

It all started during a night out with Hugh in 2001, when he offered up a handful of "large horse pills held together by a crumpled tissue," and asked her if she wanted a Quaalude.

When she said no, he replied,  "Okay, that's good.  Usually, I don't approve of drugs, but you know, in the '70s they used to call these pills thigh openers."

But, facing possible homelessness, she moved into the Playboy Mansion a few weeks later, and saw firsthand how Hefner controlled all his "girlfriends" by pitting them against each other to create competition.

She soon became his #1 girlfriend, but it was apparently a lot more fun for him than it was for her or any of the girls.  Holly says that when it came to sex, they all,  "tried to get it over with as quickly as possible."

The first time she entered his bedroom, Holly says it was like an episode of hoarders, with piles of videotapes, stuffed animals, art, and gifts littering the room.

Two TVs were playing porn, while Hefner sat in the middle of his bed,"tending to his own business and puffing on a joint."

She adds, "The girlfriends, in various stages of undress, were sitting in a semicircle at the edge of the bed some kneeling, some standing, some lying down."

She says, quote, "When I think about it now, it's almost comical.  Every red-blooded American male has no doubt fantasized about what went on in Hugh Hefner's bedroom with his harem of blond bombshells.  The answer?  Not a whole lot."

When Holly decided to leave in 2008, he tried to bribe her by leaving her $3 million in his will.  She says, quote, "I actually pitied him for stooping to that level.  I couldn't help but be offended.  Did he really think he could buy me?"

As for why she's coming out with this now, she says, "I'm done being afraid of people.  I don't have any loyalty to Hef.  I haven't talked to him in four years, so there's no reason to reach out now.  Besides, it's the truth."

 Holly's book comes out on the 23rd!
