Watch: Holly Madison Recalls “Walking On Eggshells” In The Playboy Mansion | E! Hot Goss
Kendra Wilkinson is not some-bunny Holly Madison keeps up with.
The Girls Next Door alum revealed that she and Wilkinson have not truly spoken since their falling out in 2012 after having spent five years starring alongside fellow Playboy bunny and Hugh Hefner girlfriendBridget Marquardt on the E! series from 2005 to 2010.
“Kendra and I don’t speak,” Holly said during the June 18 episode of E!’s Hot Goss with Eyal Booker and Lonnie Marts. “But I’m not opposed to speaking.”
“We had a falling out, but it was after the show,” she explained. “It was stuff that had to do with our spinoffs and working with the same producer, and I really feel like he tried to pit us against each other and got in our heads. So, that’s a shame.”
As the 46-year-old explained, she felt that Wilkinson was “caught up in the tabloid cycle” at the time, with the end of their friendship exacerbated by Wilkinson’s claim that she and Madison were not friends. And the news came as quite a surprise to Madison.
“I’m sitting here like, ‘Wait, I just sent your son a Christmas gift. We’re not friends? That’s so weird,’” she recalled. “So I think she was just really caught up.”
“We were never as close, obviously, as me and Bridget—we don’t have much in common,” she added. “But we shared a lot of experiences and had a lot of good times together so I never thought of her as not a friend.”

And the two have not spoken since.
“This was like 2012 when we had that falling out,” Madison said, “and I just think that was the cycle that was happening.”
As for Wilkinson, the 41-year-old has said she was put off by Madison’s 2015 memoir Down the Rabbit Hole, in which Madison called Wilkinson “the fakest person I’ve ever met” and alleged that she “continued to push me away” when Madison tried to be her friend.

“We were never friends,” Wilkinson exclaimed during a 2015 episode of Kendra On Top. “At the end of the day, what we did was we just f–ked the same man. That’s not friends.”
The former reality star also reflected on her relationship with Madison and Marquardt in 2025, noting that the trio never got close.
“I wasn’t really a ‘girl’s girl’ at that point in life,” she said on the Him & Her podcast in 2025. “I was more of a ‘guy’s girl,’ so we never really bonded. I was always the third wheel.”
