Playboy bunnies Holly Madison and Bridget Marquardt reveal the one celebrity who paid them zero attention

Holly Madison and Bridget Marquardt revealed the one celebrity who paid them zero attention when they were Hugh Hefner's girlfriends.

The former Playboy playmates recalled how they would frequently encounter one star who would 'act like we did not exist on any level in such a weird way.'

On Monday's episode of their podcast, Girls Next Level, Madison, 44, and Marquardt, 51, recalled the tension back then between themselves and that particular celebrity — Pamela Anderson. 

At the time, they were Hefner's girlfriends and filming their series, The Girls Next Door. 

While talking about their season three episode, which was titled My Bare Lady, Madison — who opened up about her autism diagnosis late last year — said she was was hesitant about bringing up Anderson's onscreen appearance because she has a 'fear of people's opinions.' 

However, she said that there is no 'beef,' she just does not know what happened. 

'It's not like a beef thing, and it's not like I want to out this person because it's kind of a dumb thing,' she said before adding that she does want to talk about the incident because she perceives it 'differently' now. 

'Back in my 20s, if somebody was really rude or standoffish to me, especially consistently, I assumed it was a major problem,' she said. 

Madison continued, explaining that because she now has been diagnosed with autism, she sees those types of interactions with a 'different' perspective. 

She said that when she was a Playboy playmate, she would often run into celebrities, who were nice or not so much. 

Madison explained that Anderson was in the latter group. 

'It was just that she would do this weird thing where she'd always come up to Hef wherever she would run into him ... And she'd, like, fawn all over him, and then he's surrounded by all these girls,' she said before explaining that Anderson would not acknowledge his girlfriends. 

'She would act like we did not exist on any level in such a weird way,' she said. 'The only reason I'm bringing this up is I remember feeling like it was so strange that I wondered what is that all about.' 

She said that later on, Anderson 'would acknowledge me a little bit toward the very end.' 

'On the episode where she brings out the cake naked, she gives me a big hug,' she said. 'But in the beginning, it was so distinct. And nobody else was like that.' 

It was then when she recalled the friendly encounters she had with stars like Jenny McCarthy, Carmen Electra and Paris Hilton. 

Madison said that at the time, she assumed Anderson was close to Hefner's ex-wife Kimberley Conrad, whom he divorced in 2010, or 'maybe she was at such a weird level of fame where people always wanted something from her that she didn't feel comfortable talking to people.' 

Madison also speculated that 'maybe she had an experience where she tried to talk to Hef's girlfriends before, and it went really poorly.' 

Marquardt then chimed in: 'I thought it was weird too that she completely ignored us but yet fawned so heavily over Hef when his girlfriends are literally sitting right there.

'I guess when people act like that, they just assume we're all just there strictly for the money and don't give a f***,' Madison added. 'But that wasn't the case with us.' 

Then, Madison tried to clear the air and explain that she has no animosity towards Anderson and said she was empathetic towards the Baywatch star.

'Look, I'm the most socially awkward person on the planet. I'm sure there's a million people, especially from pre-2004 mansion era, who would love to come forward and say what a f***ing b**** I am. So, I get it, but also I don't, because it was so extreme and so every single time.' 

When they were Hefner's girlfriends, Madison, Marquardt and Wilkinson starred on The Girls Next Door for five seasons from 2005 to 2009. 

The sixth season followed three new girlfriends, including Crystal Harris, who wed Hefner in 2012. 

The founder and editor-in-chief of Playboy magazine passed away in 2017 at the age of 91.
