In the letter, Hefner claims that Madison’s remarks were “malicious and intentionally misleading” and caused serious harm to her reputation. The dispute centers around comments made by Madison on the “Girls Next Level” podcast with Bridget Marquardt, where they discussed Hefner’s book, “Only Say Good Things: Surviving Playboy and Finding Myself.” Madison implied that Hefner exploited her late husband, Hugh Hefner, by keeping him heavily medicated in his later years.
Crystal Hefner, 38, has sent a cease and desist letter to Holly Madison, 44, over comments made on a podcast, claiming they were false and damaging.

They have threatened legal action if Madison continues to make such accusations. Madison has responded to the letter on Twitter, calling it ironic that Hefner, who runs a free speech foundation, would send a cease and desist letter.
