Thanks Sloan!! And thank you so much for this awesome interview with Holly!!! She always seems so sweet and it seems like she is. So happy to see your podcast going great! You deserve it!!❤❤
By the way Sloan, her boyfriend Zak Bagans is kinda famous. He has been the lead investigator of a show called Ghost Adventures for almost 3 decades now. He even has a Haunted Museum in Vegas that Post Malone supposedly got "cursed" in by one of the objects on display in the museum. I've been watching his show for years and actually, Holly appeared on an episode of it. He has written a few books, including Ghost Hunting for Dummies. FYI, he travels a lot for Ghost Adventures. He's been in Europe a few times, including the castle where the man who Dracula was based off of lived.
SLOAN, You are such a sweetheart!!! You're so good at your job!!! I just adore you and I LOVE your Podcast!!! 😘😘😘
Definitely Team Sloan, but, one question you didn't ask Holly was?? Ok, Bridget was sooo welcoming and a sister to Kendra, in fact, she hosted her, Bachelorette party, her baby shower, her housewarming party, Baking her cupcakes, cakes, bringing handcrafted stuff.. and when Kendra fell out with Holly, she just pretty much dissed Bridget too?? They all have their own truths and stories, I just thought that was kinda mean, and we saw, it was hurtful to Bridget.. all she did was to be a friend to both..
I weirdly understand exactly what holly means when she didnt feel anything when Hugh passed after an abusive relationship you almost feel like you never actually really knew them its hard to explain
I never was in a abusive relationship and he didn’t die but I was casually dating a guy who really disrespected me (reading my diary, trying to secretly obtain nudes, ringing my + my neighbors doorbell until the police made him leave etc.). Before I finally blocked him, he told me he was hurt that I didn’t say happy birthday. I’m usually appeasive but I truly felt so indifferent about it
@@planckismusyou should have told him you wished him a happy birthday in your diary 😂
@@thitsmcgee1917 lmao!
Yep, I completely agree.
I think you already grieve when the relationship ends, even though they're still alive.
You grieve for the person you thought you knew and loved, when you come to turns with the fact that you never knew the person at all.
You can't be in love with a stranger/lier. You were in love with version of themselves they presented. By then you've healed and they become a distant memory. One that doesn't need revisiting.
Hope I've explained that clearly, sorry if it was confusing.
@@reba738 this is very accurate and you explained it both kindly, and perfect.
I'm happy these girl are free. It was a sick business dynamic that was toxic but very lucrative.
they couldn't speak up while he was alive; his retaliation game was strong.
Completely agree. It was a prison for the women.
For the record, Holly released her book in 2015 while Hef was still alive and well. He was able to defend hiself, so it's not like all of this came out aftrwards.
not lucrative for the girls they got got!!
@@quester09Holly wrote her book when he was very alive, girl
I worked at a restaurant in Vegas and Holly came in a couple times. She was always so sweet. One time I had a table talking about playboy REALLY loud right next to her and after Holly finished eating and left, I told them Holly Maddison is so sweet and beautiful(assuming they clearly saw her because they were talking about playboy) and they were completely SHOCKED and didn’t even realize she was sitting next to them. They genuinely were randomly talking about playboy 😂
I worked at Planet Hollywood during Hollys run in Peepshow. I met her many times and she was incredibly stoic. When Sloan asked if she felt she was impacted by her relationship and how she carried herself- it’s incredible to see how evolved Holly has become since she was headlining. She’s truly come into her own and seems so confident and truly happy. That’s not to say she seemed unhappy when I was around during her Planet Hollywood days- more in the sense her demeanor was that of someone extremely guarded and almost constant defense mode. She’s so at ease now. Love to see it. So happy for you Holly ❤️
Playboy should have been shut down when they had brooke shields NAKED AT 10 YEARS OLD AS CENTERFOLD IN THE MAGAZINE!
Probably afigraunchy. Him and Larry Flynn who could be the raunchest.
EEEWWWWWWW are you serious?!!! No wonder the world is full of pedos/predators!
Wait what?? Brooke Shields was on the cover naked at 10?? Do you have a link where it says that happened???! That's wild omg I hope its not true
What??????
@@jenniferjennifer9973it absolutely happened. Google search this: did playboy have a 10 year old brooke sheilds pose?
I think she’s protecting herself for the first question. She seems like she knows he probably had under age girls there but is afraid of what Hugh and his team could do if she openly admitted that. Just my observation though.
I noticed that too
Hugh can't do anything, he's dead...
Yup I totally noticed how dodgy she was over that.. she deffinitly knows way more than shes letting on . There was a recent documentary about the mansion that said there was even animal play going on there if certain VIP guests requested it .. I've also heard others say theyve brought their kids to bbqs or parties at the mansion, like Pam Anderson
Maybe Hugh’s son?
Wasn’t it there at the Playboy mansion where Bill Cosby drugged and raped all the women? I wonder if he gave them the Hef-drug Quaalude?
Holly is the only person other than me that I've ever heard say they ideally want to live in a separate house next to their significant other's house 😅 I'm glad it's not just me.
Smart since her man is always waking up all those ghosts 😅
Same!
That would be my ideal situation too!!
It was my wish, too. No one understood it that time.
I love Holly! She's so real and I'm grateful that she was the one who spoke out. She started a chain reaction and I'm so proud of her.
Same!
So real?? " I looove vegas" yeah real deep. Not!
Holly is amazing. Bridget too. I always loved their dynamic. As Sloan says, Bridget seems like just a really nice person. Glad to hear they are doing a podcast together. I've been out of the loop but I look forward to watching it.
A standout element of this episode is Holly's raw and genuine narrative. She doesn't hold back on recounting the trials she faced. There are crucial life lessons in her story.
You're an incredible interviewer, Sloan. Let's Get Into It has been my favorite podcast since Ep1. You're immensely caring and it comes through on screen. Keep up the fantastic work.! You're an incredible human.! 🖤💜🖤
Being honest I actually think it felt like he didn’t do his research. He didn’t know how to pronounce Zak Bagan’s last name and when he asked if he’s also an entertainer when he’s also well-known himself...oof. Awkward.
@@umokay5516 This video is about Holly in particular. The question about Zak seemed to just be improvised. I cannot give this video a lower rating nor can I agree that he didn't do his research just because he didn't know much about Zak Bagan, when it's immensely clear that he did do extensive research on Holly; the subject of this interview. I appreciate your opinion, absolutely. I just don't agree.
After this interview iv realized how much I like Holly. She's so chill and down to earth. I was excited to see part 2!
Same!!
I like her true self outside and far beyond the show.
Read her book! It’s really good! Not the bags one but the first one. I’ve read it like 10 times at least over the years ahha
@yooolanda4992 Oh wow, really?? Uv Def piqued my interest! I just might do that, Thank you!
" I kind if feel I sold out" ya think??!! Lmao
It’s crazy, no matter the environment/relationship, one woman, two, three, rich, poor, on tv or off,… abuse and the tactics of the abusers all sound the same.
Yeah 😏
Holly's a pretty smart business woman. I don't think people can see past how pretty she is because she looks like a real life Cinderella, but she's a hustler, in the best of ways and she's smart at cultivating and maintaining branding that changes with the times. I absolutely love her new true crime tv series. She should do a Halloween special in a haunted playboy space with her man!
I doubt she will ever see this but Holly, thank you for coming on & being so open & honest with us.❤
Never been a podcast girl, But this is amazing... I loved that show.. growing up I seen how dark it was getting and how dark it has gotten. Glad the girls got out 🙏🤍
Yea I did too. Watching it I seen how they were treated like they were privileged for being with him
I've always adored Holly. She's so down to earth.
I’m so glad those ladies are free and so is the truth. Hefner was the very definition of a Hollywood handler and the bunnies were his victims.
Please do another interview with Holly about her life in Vegas ❤ Would love to hear more about that chapter of her life and dive deeper than her book does :)
They had basically fallen into a prostitution ring, and they were already in a vulnerable situation and far from family, so they got trauma bonded and couldn't wrap their minds around how to deal with the situation so they couldn't escape it.
Do you think it’s prostitution? Hmmm I was thinking more like a polyamory situation but you’re right in the sense of it being transactional
The accountability avenger’s are heavy in this comment section!🤦♂️
@hannahrose312 yeah, I definitely would consider it prostitution. Because this is the way that a pimp controls his hoes, they keep them all in one house, makes sure they all feel like they have to fight for their "mans" attention and love, because this way the pimp will have this kind of total Manipulation control over the person. Hugh was selling them, just on another avenue that the street pimp sells his hoes.
I have always love Holly and Bridget. But Holly was my favourite Girl Next Door and I am so pleased to see her doing so well. ❤
I respect her for answering honestly about how she felt when Heff died. I know she deeply loved him once, but once a Venus and Scorpio has had enough, they void you out off themselves like yesterday's shit, soul ties and all.
I've got the same placement and the utter lack of sentimentality I have for anyone I've cut off regardless of decades being bonded and close is truly an art form.
I don't think I have ever seen someone age so beautifully as her
yeah, because 40 yo’s should be haggard. wtf 😂
I find it shocking when people are so oblivious to plastic surgery on women (especially Botox). Lots of Botox on her side...
@@jendee1260 didn't say that did I.....just that she looks amazing lol
You’re such a good interviewer. Absolutely adore Holly and Bridget. I’m glad you interviewed Holly. Great work Sloan!🖤
Her reaction was odd when you asked about the underage girls being present. Almost as if she KNEW there was.. but doesn't wanna open any new doors toward that time/era.
Yeah I agree
I stepped out of the room and heard only the audio when he asked that question - sensed something in her voice - she was young, maybe saw some underage people- thought nothing off it but now know better because of awareness and the fact that she also falls under “victims”
Knowing if there was any under age girls, makes her complicit!
Just like the Epstein/Weinstein shit...fame & $$$$ comes with a price
@makeamericakateagain probably why she didnt want to say anything
She Knows her boundaries. Smart !
Being mentally fked by someone like him is such a lonely soul crushing experience proud you made it out Holly as u know many don’t we are a few of the lucky ones
Love Holly, she speaks candidly & eloquently about her experiences. Loved her book, her commentary on Secrets with Playboy, her narration on The Playboy Murders & her CZcams shows. My sister Katie May modeled for Playboy & experienced life in West Hollywood before her untimely death in 2016 from a neck adjustment. Holly’s stories ring true to what I heard from my sister about her Hollywood experiences.
I love how Holly. She is so genuine. She talks open and clearly about everything that she has gone through. She doesn't talk badly about anyone when she was talking about girls next door TV show
WTF!!???? Holly was bashing Kendra in this Interview with Sloan!!! Holly always trashes Kendra and she needs to stop doing it!! It makes her look really mean and jealous. Kendra was only 18 when she moved into the Playboy Mansion.
I’ve always loved Holly. I think what made The Girls Next Door so popular is that we could all relate to at least one of the girls. Holly was this gorgeous glam, Bridgette was the brainiac (and gorgeous of course), and Kendra was the wild child athlete tomboy. And I love that it was before social media so there wasn’t all these toxic references that played out onscreen. Great interview! Still jealous of her and Zac, but I gueeeeessss she can send him my way later 😜🤣😘💜
It was obvious that Holly, although is such a wonderful girl, was not really happy in that situation. Wish you the best, Holly!
I'm so proud of you Sloan!! It has been an honor to watch your channels grow and evolve. 💜
What a great interview! Great questions and candid answers. I respect her protecting her kids privacy. We need more people like her keeping their children's lives private and offline.
It is encouraging to see someone else who endured a lot of abuse, and made it thru to the other side. While we will never be made 100% whole in this life, we can still be happy and successful. Our pasts do not define us. What other people have done to us does not define us
I love that you plugged her CZcams so naturally instead of a commercially type of way. I love you and the platform and safe space you provide for people Sloan. I hope your channel continues to flourish ❤
Holly is such a breath of fresh air!
Holly is so honest and classy at the same time. I love her. She is so great. And Sloan you’re the best host you make people feel good and that’s so sweet.
When holly said she is dating Zach Bagans made me scream internally as Ghost Adventures is one of my favorite shows 😊
Omg I just listened to ALL of the Girls Next Level podcasts while I was painting my house. Love you Holly and Bridget ❤
hugh was trafficking women. the whole time getting fistbumps from other dudes. smdh
This was a good watch after a long day. I'm so grateful for Holly coming on and being so open and vulnerable with us, she's such an icon ❤
Holly is a hero of mine and has been for a long time. Thank you for doing this interview. She deserves to speak the truth, and her experiences and have the opportunity to heal through giving a voice and putting words to something that so many other women couldn't. ❤
Okay so I never comment on anything but wow I must say, I loved the interview with Holly! I’m a long time Holly fan and this interview literally addressed so many things I may have missed in her life the last few years! Great job on the interview! Very impressed!
i remember reading her book, down the rabbit hole, years ago when it first came out. Anything relating to holly madison, & i'm all over it! so glad you got to interview her!
Stockholm seems like a coping mechanism to not victimize yourself to prevent a mental breakdown
Same as feeling numb
Amazing interview Sloan, your questions were detailed; you can tell she felt comfortable opening up. Love Holly, so glad to see that she is happy, glowing and thriving ❤
SLOAN
You have a gift! These interview questions were so good!!! I have see all of Holly's interviews and these questions were so good!!! I love her and it was so nice to hear from her with new and interesting questions. Great Job!!!
Sloan, these interviews with Holly were great. Thank you so much for your care and intent with Holly here. And Holly, I think you did as perfect as a job as possible in these. If anyone had any question before who Holly Madison was, they know now. The people who have really followed you always knew, but for those that didn't, they absolutely should now. I wish you all the best in all of your future endeavors. I'm so proud everything you have accomplished. You are exceptional ma'am!
Congratulations to you both. Seriously. 👏 🏆 👑
Wow I'm so early 🤗 this is a great video part 1 and 2 was amazing. You definitely have a gift and it shows in your podcast. I'm always been a huge fan 💜
So happy you had *Holly Madison* on for a two-parter! I just loved the *Girls Next Door & was a huge fan of the show! Sloan, you did an excellent job on this one and I'm so excited to see what's coming next! Thank you so much for this! ♥️✨️🥰🎉
Thank you for all u do sloan❤❤❤ cant wait for yr videos all the time !!! Congratulations 🎉🎉 we all love u ..have so much support stay STRONG !!!!!!!
This is a great interview Sloan! You are a fantastic interviewer and you treated Holly so wonderfully, and she deserves it. Holly is so well spoken and intelligent and I'm so happy for her! ❤️
i loved these interviews with Holly ! ,she s so easy to talk to and listen 💗
good job Sloan! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Holly is such a beautiful soul and I'm so glad she got out of that toxic environment.
Such a good interview!! I could listen to Holly all day💖💖 and I’m really enjoying you Sloan! You are my new favorite ❤️
Love this interview Sloan, I love Holly and you asked so many questions I’ve never heard her answer before.
Dude i dont like all the Hollywood drama but u make it intresting! The questions, the directions u go in its all professional and i LOVE IT!!!! KEEP IT UP MAN!!!!
Hooray for Part 2!!!!
Omg I’m so happy you did an interview with Holly!
Watched all 40 minutes of it - LOVED IT! I hope Holly gets this feedback: she should definitely post on her CZcams channel more as us international viewers & supporters (I’m in a very remote location you’d never dream of) instantly got cut off from her content when she went on a podcast, I wouldn’t even mind delayed posts such as weeks or even a month later. I’m a fan and very invested. ❤
Great interview Sloan! Thank you for sharing Holly ♥️
Amazing interview. Love y'all !!!
I am so glad you are starting to get better ppl to interview. Hope to see more of these types of interviews
Excellent job! Thanks for a great show.
Really enjoyed this interview !
Holly should write another book - beyond the gates .. her new life of freedom, motherhood, and getting rid of toxicity
Been dying for this 2nd part!
I have been watching this documentary and the man is despicable. Holly you have my prayers❤
This was a great interview!! I feel it was very informative for those whobare just discovering Holly Madison
Such a great interview! U r going places my friend!!!! Thx
Sloan, you're a great interviewer! You ask great questions and listen well. I'm glad Holly decided to participate. She seems very down-to-earth!
I enjoyed this interview sm❤❤❤❤!! Tysm for your service Sloan!! We love you and your amazing content! :)
Very very good Sloan 🎉
This remote split screen format works well. (Loved when you asked about “the moment” she heard about Heff btw).
Holly’s just wonderful here …. both parts, she’s so nice to listen to.
Good stuff 👍
I bet Heff dropped dead the moment that pinball machine went off !!!
💜💜 great work Sloan 💜💜
This podcast is excellent.
I love Holly! She seems so genuine real and isn’t afraid to speak her mind about playboy and what she’s gone through. We need more people like her in the entertainment industry to speak out over being abused and sexualized rather it’s Playboy or anything else
I'm so excited to see Holly! I'm going to look up her new stuff!!! I love true crime and didn't know what she was up to! ❤
Such a good interview!!!
Awesome job Sloan!! Always liked Holly and just saw her on the Playboy Murders- so glad she is happy!! ❤
I listen to their podcast every week I’m such a huge GND fan I’m happy these girls can speak their truth now.
This is such an entertaining interview! Sloan you are really the best and Holly so nice and kindly addressing the questions ❤
I love her so much. I’m proud of her for speaking out and starting her own podcast too
Holly is so genuine and relatable to me. Such an inspiration ❤❤❤
I could listen to Holly all day😀❤️❤️Great interview!
It’s astounding to me how he was given free reign to be the predator that he truly was.
Even praised for it. Jimmy Savile vibes.
Holly was a great guest and you did a really nice job interviewing her. She is just the best!
@sloan BRAVO!!! You did such a great job!! I love Holly and have watched and or listened to most of her interviews. You asked great questions in a very respectable way. I am excited to see your success in the future. You have a real gift. Keep up the great work. Your Chanel is fabulous. Honest info presented with respect.
Sloan, you’re so sweet in the way you talk with your guests. Love it!!
I love Holly so much, PlayBoy is a horrible brand the rebranding DOESN'T erase the vile history and a lot of people on tik tok seem to think it's so trendy to love the brand again 👯♂🐇👎 red flag's, Btw great vid my guy...!!!
I would’ve thought that Playboy was on its way out. Most things are digital these days.
@cherishoneal9108 people are still rocking the playboy bunny logo. Theyve rebranded and made some (admittedly very cute) clothing lines recently that have been selling really well, especially among gen z
Really enjoyed this thank you!
Sloan You are so caring and passionate you really listen to what they have to say and you let them put it out there you let them tell their story and I think you're amazing for that
What’s Crystal Hefner up too now? Hope she is ok.
The stories from the mansions and mini mansions are crazy.
Love Holly and Bridget! ❤
Should interview the Shannon Twins.
Wonder if they made her sign an nda bc she was married to him
Crystal has a book coming out early next year…the title suggests a tell-all about her time in the Mansion. And I really like the small way Crystal supported Holly in her claims about the photos, destroying them.
@@cakt1991 Yeah, Gosh that would have been a relief.
I love her and I love Zack, and loved your interview, you are incredible. My son came in and I didn't pause it and literally just missed 2 minutes but i had to go back because l didn't want want to miss a thing❣️
Great interview Sloan! 💯 LOVE Holly and Bridget 🥰 Two of the kindest, classiest and honest women in the industry. Good luck in the future ladies 💖💖💖💖
I just love holly & the current exposé on the Playboy franchise!! I’m so fascinated
Been waiting on this, Sloan you are killing the interview game💙🫶🏼💙🫶🏼
Beautiful interview.. Questions were well thought out..
I love holly I gained a lot of respect for her after reading her book and her having the strength to speak out . I always could tell on the show that she was not happy you could tell something was up.
I love Holly and Bridget so much, it's honestly so heartwarming to see them together again. They deserve nothing but happiness and all the success!
U did such a Great job with the questions. Everything I wanted to know u asked!!! 👍 Good job!!! I am now a follower. I am the same in my neck of the woods wanting to get down to the realness of drama/entertainment/facts 😊 keep it up xo
Love seeing holly on here ! Love listening to the podcast
What a great interview
