Hugh Hefner's son Marston Hefner is opening up about growing up in the Playboy Mansion and revealing that life there wasn't exactly picture perfect.
In fact, the 33-year-old publishing scion — who earns a living as an OnlyFans model and collectibles investor — has claimed that the staff was actually unkind to him as he got older. But the models who lived in the home — particularly Holly Madison and Bridget Marquardt — were very nice to him.
"The staff were really mean to me at a certain point," he said in an interview with Holly and Bridget on an October 2023 episode of their "Girls Next Level" podcast. "They were really f***** up to me."

Marston Hefner — the son of Playboy founder Hugh Hefner and Playmate of the Year 1989 Kimberley Conrad, who was Hef's second wife — could never quite understand why staff members at the Playboy Mansion turned on him as he got older.
"It was kind of like, I was the son who was living off my father's success is my guess of what it was. Jealousy, or they thought I was entitled. They felt like I really didn't belong," he said on an October 2023 episode of the "Girls Next Level" podcast.
As a teenager and young adult, he said, "I did not feel welcome" at the legendary property.

Tuesdays were Marston Hefner's favorite day of the week growing up, as he would always play chess with his dad, late Playboy founder Hugh Hefner.
"It was a moment in our lives where he took like, a really special focus on me, and he was just really loving, really supportive," Marston said on an October 2023 episode of the "Girls Next Level" podcast. "He would play chess with me every Tuesday for family night, and at some point I beat him. I think I beat him legitimately and he was so happy."
Marston continued, "The joy that he had instead of being like, 'You shouldn't of.' He was just really proud of me, and I think that moment of time was my favorite."

While remembering the "Girls Next Door" reality TV show that documented Hugh Hefner's life with girlfriends Holly Madison, Bridget Marquardt and Kendra Wilkinson, Marston Hefner has happy memories.
"You guys are the cultural icons — my dad is a cultural icon, but you guys are too," he told Holly and Bridget on an October 2023 episode of their "Girls Next Level" podcast. "That was a huge part of that time period, that show."
Marston recalled one particular fond memory — going to see Christmas lights.
"We drove in the limo and we — God, that's such a special memory for me. And the gingerbread cookies. That makes me emotional," he said. "I love those memories so much. It felt like a family."
