Holly Madison backs controversial Hugh Hefner movie Playmates

Holly Madison has publicly backed the controversial Playmates movie, supporting its writer Lorraine Nicholson after Playboy founder Hugh Hefner’s estate-related backlash. The 46-year-old, who dated Hefner for seven years in the early 2000s and was his “number one girlfriend,” told TMZ she considers Nicholson a “wonderful writer” and said she plans to keep an open mind, adding that she “can’t wait to see it” and that she also supports Lily-Rose Depp. The comments followed Crystal Harris, Hefner’s third wife, urging Jessica Biel to drop out over concerns that the film could romanticize abuse. Playmates follows Elle, a 13-year-old drawn to the mansion.
