I’m an ex-Playboy model – Hefner’s Playboy Mansion hid dark secrets from spy cameras to punishments for declining sex
A FORMER Playboy model has revealed the “dark secrets” she claims the late Hugh Hefner hid at his mansion, including spy cameras and punishments for those who turned down sex.
OnlyFans star Kayla Kayden, 34, from Las Vegas, Nevada, first joined the adult industry in 2014 as a porn actress.
She said that she grew up “idolising” Playboy models, and dreamed of moving to California and joining their ranks.
But she had no idea what life inside the infamous Playboy Mansion would be like.
Kayla applied to become a Playmate aged 18 but didn’t make the cut.
Determined to join one way or another, she tried again a year later and was picked for the official Playboy magazine and TV show, ultimately becoming a guest at the mansion.
But in an explosive interview with NudePR.com, Kayla claimed that she witnessed a number of “traumatic” events at parties at the mansion.
Kayla claimed: “Hugh Hefner would often kick girls out and ask security to remove them if they didn’t agree to any requests.”
Women were also mistreated away from the confines of the Playboy Mansion, and there were consequences for refusing orders, according to Kayla.
She alleged that an associate of Hugh – who died in 2017 aged 91 – had demanded that a girl perform a sex act on him during a trip to Las Vegas.
Kayla went on: “She said no and within seconds, she was thrown out.
“The band member then complained to Hef that she wasn’t being fun. I recall us all looking at each other and asking what she did, as we were all in shock.
“When Hef found out she was back at the Mansion she was chucked out – and wasn’t allowed to return again.
“If you didn’t do what you were told, you’d be blacklisted from the whole of Hollywood.”

Kayla also claimed that fellow models later discovered hidden cameras all over the Playboy Mansion, with staff watching their every move.
She said that models kicked out for “misconduct” were branded with the nickname “Bad Bunny”.
Kayla added: “We weren’t allowed to smoke and had to always be smiling and happy in order to be a ‘Good Bunny’.
“Because most of the celebrities were friends with Hugh, he’d soon find out and if we weren’t ‘servicing’ them or if we had a complaint, it was game over.
“Often, we’d do body paint parties, where a company would sponsor us and put their artwork all over our bodies.
“These were huge deals, as our faces were plastered all over their advertisements, as well as articles being written about us.
“However, if we didn’t do as we were told, we’d be banned from partaking in them, which harmed our chances for success.”
Kayla added: “I remember people dotted all over the mansion having sex wherever – in the pools, lobby, kitchen – you name it, there were people hooking up.
“I stayed back and watched most of the time, but we were sold on this idea that we’d marry someone rich while being at the Playboy Mansion, so many of us held out for this.”
Kayla said she was offered a “standard Playmate contract” which allegedly included $25,000 as a downpayment for a two-year modelling contract.
It also featured extra money for events and shoots.
But she turned it down because it seemed like more work and travelling than she first realised, and by this point, she was making up to $1,000 as a cam girl.
In 2018, Kayla joined OnlyFans, and now earns roughly $50,000 a month on the site.
“I’ll return to the porn industry if I get the right opportunity and the same goes for the Playboy Mansion,” she said.
“Despite what I’ve seen in the past, there’s been such dramatic and positive change in recent years – the brand is much more diverse.
“If the money is right, I’ll take it but I can make $5,000 in a few days from home.”
The Sun Online has approached Playboy for comment.
Kayla’s story is the latest damaging allegation to rock the Playboy brand in recent months.
In March last year, a former Playboy Bunny claimed she feared for her life after turning whistleblower on Hefner.
Miki Garcia also told The Sun she was denied a promised title of Playmate of the Year after refusing to sleep with Hefner and was raped twice by a famous actor during her time living at the mansion.
Last year, the A&E Network documentary Secrets of Playboy featured a number of shocking revelations from Hugh Hefner’s Playboy Mansion.
These included a cocaine-addicted dog and Hefner’s notorious “Pig Night” orgies.
