Holly Madison, a former Playboy model and one of Hugh Hefner's long-time girlfriends, left Playboy's mansion in 2008. After telling her story over the years, she determined one thing- Hollywood could be a place of evil.

The 45-year-old told Fox News numbers, "There must be a dark belly." "There's an energy in Hollywood since I moved here. There's that energy when you're that young woman getting off from the Midwest or any young woman from anywhere."

“There is water eech in using water eech, destroying you and using you anywhere,” the mother of both added.

"And I'm not only talking about rich people, capable people. I'm talking about pimps on the street. I'm talking about people who are trying to bait, switch and get girls involved in sex trafficking. … It's actually everywhere. I've seen it firsthand when I moved here on the 19th."

On Monday, Madison unveiled the 3rd season of the true crime series "Playboy Murder" by Investigation Discovery (ID), which explores compelling tragedies and crimes associated with the iconic magazine brand.

Looking back, Madison said she felt the darkness of Hollywood “just right away.”

"It's almost ironic because I feel like a playboy, and when I move into a mansion, I feel a little safe in some way, even if I hate all of these things," Madison said.

"It almost feels like a corporate version of sexuality. But living in this huge guard house is going to drive to me than going out and driving, I'm ready to collapse, struggling to make ends meet and approach you on the street, which makes me feel safer."

"I thought I would end up being a black dahlia like Black Dahlia," Madison said. "I thought Playboy was my safe haven."

Madison was only 21 when he moved into the Playboy mansion. She quit at the age of 29 after packaging "The Girl Next Door", a reality TV series about Hefner's multiple girlfriends. In 2016, she wrote a memoir, “Down the Rabbit Hole,” accusing years of verbal and emotional abuse.

Looking back on her experience, Madison would suggest any promising model to head to Hollywood to end with a big break with “let your circle of friends.”

“Hopefully they can give you some clear-headed advice or let you know if it’s a little out of control,” she advises. “And do your research. (Inspite) the drawbacks of every different industry.”

She reported: "I remember being 18 and 19 years old and thought I was a bad guy and I could have sex like a man without emotional attachment."

"But it's really not that. Doing something like that brings a lot of emotional weight. I think it's a really good thing to look at people's stories that are honest about every aspect of the industry. Before you dive, look at some cautionary stories."

Madison never crossed the road with Playboy actor and part-time model Kimberly Fattorini. Fattorini's 2017 death was the theme of the first episode of the season.

"This story caught my attention because several of her friends sent me messages on Instagram after Season 2 of Playboy Murder, and they were like, 'Can you introduce Kimmy's story?'" Madison said.

"Everything about her story is so familiar to me. … It's really horrible because I feel like I've been out with friends in a lot of situations and some people don't have the best interest of people."

Holly Madison said her loved ones reached out to her and told the story of the "playboy murder." (Investigation found)

According to the incident, Fattorini died from the deadly cocktail of the fatal alcohol, cocaine and rape drug gamma hydroxybutyric acid or "GHB". She is 30 years old.

According to the episode, Fattorini's parents filed a wrongful death lawsuit against former NFL defender Shawne Merriman, promoter Eli Wehbe and model Monica Maass. It noted that Merriman, Wehbe and Maass refused to discuss the series' Fattorini death. They previously denied the allegations were related to Fattorini's death.

"It has been determined that there is not enough evidence for a criminal trial, but there seems to be text messages that she knows someone gave her a drink," Madison said. "There seems to be a lot of negligence and people around her should help her and not help.

"It's a terrible feeling to look at a case like this, and it feels like I or a friend of mine, when we go out for a party and just have fun, (is) ordinary young people," she said. "I hope her family gets some answers and closes."

When asked if the Playboy at the time should have stepped in and pushed for the answer, Madison admitted it was complicated.

"Playboy is a huge company and there are a lot of people working for it," she explained. "That's why we were able to find cases in three seasons. There are clubs for Playboys across the country, and there are so many women working for rabbits. I don't think a company is really possible...the life of everyone the babysitters used to work for them, especially when that person is not working.

She added: "I don't think it's the responsibility of a lot of playboys, but there has to be certain that someone is responsible."

Madison notes that when you are part of a “high-risk environment,” there are a lot of risks. That's why aspiring models keep a circle of friends who are not Hollywood, she said.

"You're going to get into Playboy, there's a lot to get," she said. "Have fame, money, and chance."

“When you do this, more extreme things can happen,” she said. “Even if a lot of people have positive experiences in this environment, a lot of crazy things can happen.”

Today, Madison calls Las Vegas home. She attributes the series to her connections to other women in Playboy’s past who face their own struggles in Hollywood.

"It's very healing to share my story," she said. "I feel like when I (out) it's just based on the TV show I'm doing, people think I have this magical relationship and they just expect positive things. At first I just say positive things just because I think it's a good thing. But I start to feel like I'm lying.

“So, just make my chest clear and be able to recover from my experiences truly.

"Playboy Murder" aired Monday at 9 p.m.
