Interview: Holly Madison Reveals Her Kids Don’t Know She Was A Playboy Bunny, If She’s Been Back To The Mansion, And Her True Crime Show. Tuesday, June 9th, 2026 | Sarah Fraser

About this episode

Holly Madison discusses her true crime show, her Playboy past, and personal experiences including her autism diagnosis.

I sat down with Holly Madison to talk about the second season of her true crime show Lethally Blonde on ID Network, where she covers murder cases from fascinating worlds like sex work, entertainment, and cosplay — including the heartbreaking Linda Sobek case and the wild Bryan Kocis story. We got into her Playboy past, her complicated feelings about her time with Hef, and how she's made peace with all of it after her "Saturn return." Holly also opened up about her close friendships with Trisha Paytas and Tana Mongeau, her recent autism diagnosis and how it's been a total game changer for her self-understanding, her two podcasts (Girls Next Level and You Wish), and her very relatable approach to dating — including getting ratted out to TMZ way too early into a new relationship.
