Kendra Wilkinson is not letting Holly Madison get away with anything.

Madison wrote a tell-all memoir called Down the Rabbit Hole: Curious Adventures and Cautionary Tales of a Former Playboy Bunny about her time with Hugh Hefner in the Playboy mansion. Madison, 35, shared alarming details about her sexual experiences with Hefner as well as his crazy rules and manipulative, controlling nature.
While the former Holly's World star made Hefner out to look like a monster who didn't even care that she was having suicidal thoughts, Wilkinson -- who had also lived in the mansion and previously starred on The Girls Next Door with Madison -- is basically painting a picture of Hefner, 89, as a saint.
Wilkinson told People that Hefner was correct when he said Madison is trying to rewrite history.
"Holly, you can tell, had this ulterior motive every minute being at the Mansion, and that motive was -- it was clear as day -- she wanted Hef's kids, she wanted a piece of Playboy and she wanted to marry Hef for, obviously, his will," Wilkinson told People.

"That didn't happen. So what do you think's going to happen? Revenge. So we're witnessing some revenge here... These rumors that are out there about the mansion -- it's not real."
Wilkinson said Madison, who moved into the mansion in 2001, always had an agenda and arrogance about her.
"My perception was that she acted like a First Lady," Wilkinson, 30, explained. "You know, she had to play a part, play a role every day being there. Like, 'I have to be this in order to get this.'"
Wilkinson, on the other hand, insisted she was just there "to have a good time!"
"How could [Holly] want kids and [to] get married to [Hefner] and then, next thing you know, say these types of things about Hef? It's just out of revenge, and I feel bad for Hef. But you know what? He's an amazing human being," Wilkinson said.

Madison -- who had competed on Dancing with the Stars' eighth season -- has settled into a new, happy life. She wed Pasquale Rotella and also welcomed a daughter Rainbow, now two-years-old, in 2013.
"There are hundreds of people that come in and out of the mansion every day and have such a great experience. Hef has dated thousands of women who, most of them, still love him," Wilkinson continued.
"I am so appreciative of everything that Hef has done for me. I'm appreciative for those five years living at the mansion. If it wasn't for the mansion, I wouldn't have met [Hank Baskett]. I wouldn't have had my two kids. So, I'm in a really great place because of the mansion and I've moved on. I've moved on and I've grown. There are some people out there who have not done that."
Wilkinson has appeared on numerous reality shows such as Kendra On Top, Splash and Marriage Boot Camp.
