Jenny McCarthy does not have fond memories of partying in Hugh Hefner’s Playboy mansion at the start of her career.
The “Scream 3” alum, 51, said she was asked to take part in 2021’s “The Secrets of Playboy” documentary, but ultimately opted out.
“There was so much … sex going on with gross celebrities in the grotto areas,” she said during “Watch What Happens Live” Monday.
The “Masked Singer” judge continued: “For every 20 guys, there was, like, one girl. So, the guys were in heaven. But also, the guys were, like, over 70 years old … There was only hot women and the ugliest dudes … It was like Viagra central.”
She went on to clarify that her experience didn’t include anything that had to do with drugs or surveillance.
“Hef was married at the time,” she said.
The magazine publisher died in 2017 at 91. He was married to model Kimberley Conrad from 1989 to 2010, and Crystal Harris from 2012 until his death.
In the A&E doc, former Playboy bunnies unveiled the “dark reality underneath the glossy exterior of” Hefner’s empire.
“There was that big Playboy scandal TV show special. They asked me to be part of it constantly,” McCarthy went on. “I’m like, ‘Listen, I didn’t have that experience.’ Pamela [Anderson] didn’t have that experience. We were at a different time, I think…I was there when his kids were throwing bacon at me in high chairs.”
As for Anderson, 56, she has been on the cover of Playboy several times, beginning in 1989.
The “John Tucker Must Die” actress was a nude model for the adult magazine in 1993 and later became its Playmate of the Year.
When McCarthy got the job, her mom was angry and “disowned” her for three days.
“And then she fell in love with me again. And then I paid off all their bills with the money,” the former “The View” co-host joked.
In 2022, the “Tooken” star revealed she declined to participate in “Secrets of Playboy” six times.
“I didn’t have the same experiences, so I wasn’t going to sign up for a paycheck and be salacious when I didn’t experience those things,” she said on the “#NoFilter with Zack Peter” podcast. “And hearing their stories, my heart broke for a lot of these women.”
