It's been a fascination for decades. What really goes on inside the very private and privileged walls of the Playboy Mansion, particularly in the master bedroom? Well, up until now, all we could do is imagine with a little help from the pages of Playboy magazine and some titillating stories carefully leaked or, rather, teased to the press. After all, how much fun could Hugh Hefner, who's knocking on 80's door, be having?
Well, with a little help from Viagra and a seemingly endless parade of twenty-something blonde beauties seeking fame and fortune, the founder of the world's most popular men's magazine is still having the time of his life!
Now, for the first time ever, one of those blonde beauties has done the unspeakable. She has broken the mansion's revered code of silence. Jill Ann Spaulding, a stunning professional poker player with all the obvious attributes that one might find inside Hef's stable of potential Playmates, has written a tell-all book entitled, "Jill Ann: Upstairs."
Spaulding pulls no punches as she reveals what really goes on behind Hef's closed doors. Shocking and dangerous sexual practices, misguided and backstabbing young women echo through the infamous mansion's halls... and that's just the tip of the iceberg!
Surprisingly, Spaulding has chosen to publish this remarkable book on her own and has vowed to give all proceeds to PREHAD, a service that helps victims of domestic violence as well as the homeless. Still, few media outlets have touched this too-hot-for-prime-time exclusive... until now.
I recently sat down with Spaulding to discuss her Playboy experience and of course, her unforgettable week as a Playboy mansion tenant. But beware... the following interview is not for the squeamish or those easily offended. This is about as close to living the life of Hef that any of us will ever get, so enjoy.
When reached for comment regarding Jill Ann Spaulding's allegations, Hugh Hefner's representative Bill Farley said, "No one here has seen [the book] and we're probably not going to be rushing out to get it either."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chaunce Hayden: Lets talk about this book you've written called, "Upstairs."
Jill Ann Spaulding: Okay.
To call this book a "tell-all" is an understatement.
I call it an exposé. (Laughs)
It's rare that a woman who's been invited into the mysterious and titillating world of Playboy icon Hugh Hefner talks about what goes on behind those very private walls, but you have. Why haven't others ?
Most of the girls who have been in that position still have checks coming from Playboy.
Even when they've "grown up," so to speak, and moved on?
Well, they still get jobs.
What kind of jobs?
Like at the 50th Anniversary of Playboy. They got all the past Playmates together and they all got to visit and hang out at the mansion, and they get paid for that. Also, every year when they announce the new Playmate of the Year, all the past Playmates get to come back. It's like a family. It's very exciting to get to go to the Playboy mansion.
They don't want to lose that open invite by talking about what Hef might not want them to talk about.
Exactly. Everybody always wants to ask me what goes on at the Playboy mansion. Everyone wants to know!
Well?
(Laughs) I guess I won't be going to any more Playboy parties! In fact, in the book it tells how Hef's secretary personally called me and uninvited me to all their parties.
Because you wrote this book?
Well, one of his girlfriends set me up.
Who?
I don't want to give her real name. In the book I use a fictitious name. She was one of his main girlfriends and I shared a bathroom with her when I lived at the mansion. She told me that if you're one of Hef's main girlfriends, you get to invite four people to the Playboy parties. She also told me that each invite was $2,000 apiece but that she sells them for $1,200 dollars a piece. I wanted my boyfriend to go because I had gone to the parties all year without him. So, I thought for $1,200 it was worth it for him to get to go to the mansion. So anyway, she gives me her number and I leave her a message saying how I really wish my boyfriend could go and that I would be willing to pay two grand. Anyway, she gives the message to Hef.
Why?
Because she's a bitch. She wanted me to get in trouble. So, Hef's personal secretary calls me up and tells me, "that was not proper etiquette," and that I am uninvited to any future Playboy parties from that moment on. My boyfriend felt so bad! I tried to explain, but it was no use. I knew right then and there that that was it for Playboy. I probably wouldn't have written the book if that didn't happen. Instead, I would still be going to the parties. I was done with Playboy and I knew it.
Doesn't the fact that you don't give real names take some of your credibility away?
Well, I did that so they can't sue me.
But, if it's true?
Plus, I don't want them to be embarrassed because they have families, you know?
You have no problem using Hugh Hefner's name.
Right, and I also use Miss January's name.
But certain people you protect.
Right. I just didn't want to ruin their lives. Many of them are still living that life, but they still have a chance to get out and maybe make something of their lives.
Okay, so let's back to the story. You got a call from Hugh Hefner's personal secretary telling you that you are no longer invited to the parties. Why?
Yes, because she is one of Hugh Hefner's personal slaves.
Personal slave? Define what that is.
A personal slave is someone who has to follow all the rules of Hef or you're asked to move out. She gets to live in the house, but she has a 9:30pm curfew and she has to participate on Wednesdays and Fridays for sex night. They're required nights for sex. You have to go upstairs [to Hef's bedroom] unless you just had a nose job or a major operation. Otherwise, you have to go. Even if it's that time of the month, or you're sick and the doctors tell you that you can't participate. You still have to show up that night.
What happens on sex night?
On sex night you go upstairs and the girls that are brand new, or the girls who don't have their own room yet, have to take a bath. That's a requirement. You also have to put on a certain pair of pink pajamas. They're all lined up and neat. You can tell they've been to the cleaners. They tell you to put them on, even though you take them off as soon as you enter Hef's room.
What is Hef's room like?
It's pitch dark, and there's this loud techno music playing. There's also two large big screen TVs.
Is it a very big room?
No, it's not exactly huge because it is an old house. But it has tons and tons of stuff everywhere to the point where you almost have to make a trail to get around.
How do you feel when you first walk into Hef's room and see all this?
I'm terrified!
How many other women are in the room with you?
The night I was there, there were 12 girls.
I guess this is the million-dollar question. Does Hef actually have sex with the girls?
I didn't think he did, because nobody talks about it. There's not one girl who talks about it! I actually studied this before I went up there!
What do you mean by that?
I actually looked through articles on the Internet and read articles from various magazines about Hef's lifestyle. GQ and Vanity Fair even did articles on it. I read everything! The one thing I noticed in each article is that none of the girls talked about sex, but then there's a video out called "Inside The Playboy Mansion." I even bought that! Through the whole video, whenever a girl is asked about having sex with Hef, they say, "We don't kiss and tell." Nobody says anything!
That brings me back to my earlier question. Why?
Well, most people don't want to admit that they had sex with a 78 year-old. The night I was there 10 of the 12 girls had sex with him.
By sex you mean intercourse?
Yeah.
How is a man who's 78 years old able to have sex with that many women?
He doesn't really do anything. He just lies there with his Viagra erection. It's just a fake erection, and each girl gets on top of him for two minutes while the girls in the background try to keep him excited. They'll yell things like, "F-k her daddy, f-k her daddaddy!" There's a lot of cheerleader going on!
After the two minutes are up what happens?
The main girlfriend wipes off his penis. She's the girl who actually shares the bed with him. She sleeps there all night. She's around 22 years old. He uses all the same girls. She's been there for three years now.
So she was just a teenager when they met.
Yeah.
Don't you think that's crazy?
Yeah, but nobody really knows. I don't think even the main guests know all this.
So let's talk more about Hef's sex party.
When it first gets started his main girlfriend gives him [oral sex], then she has sex with him. She's the first to go because that's the safest for her.
Does Hef use a condom when he had sex with these women?
No. No protection and no testing. He doesn't care.
Don't the girls he's having sex with care?
They care, but they're also getting $2000 a week.
They sound more like prostitutes than girlfriends.
Yeah, they do.
Well, with a little help from Viagra and a seemingly endless parade of twenty-something blonde beauties seeking fame and fortune, the founder of the world's most popular men's magazine is still having the time of his life!
