Madison, 42, initially thought it was only her that Hefner directed his fake tears at, until another bunny moved into the mansion and quizzed her about it.
Marquart, 48, also mentioned how Hefner's manipulation led to women feeling the need to follow him around asking for their weekly $1,000 wage.
She said: "You had to track this multi-millionaire business mogul, who still, at that time, was very much the editor-in-chief of Playboy Magazine with a very busy day. You had to track him down and be like, 'Hi honey, can I collect my allowance?'"

From 2005, Madison and Marquart starred as Hefner's "main girlfriends" in the reality TV series The Girl Next Door alongside former Playmate Kendra Wilkson.
The huge age gap between Hefner and the women was controversial throughout the years the show aired, and even after it came to an end in 2010.

In a recent appearance on the Juicy Scoop podcast, the former Playboy bunnies told host Heather McDonald how they, along with other women, were pressured to have unprotected sex with Hefner.
Marquardt said: “I was still just gonna watch and then [one of the other Playmates] was like, ‘Aren’t you gonna go?’ It was like, ‘You need to go.’ And I was like, I would rather not. And she’s like, ‘Well, then you probably won’t be invited back.'
“So then I was like, OK. And I’d seen what everybody else was doing, so I knew that this was, like, a 10-second thing. I mean, definitely no more than a minute.”
Madison said that, while she had “blocked” most of it from her memory, she remembered women “trying to get it done as quickly as possible.”
Marquardt said: “You were hoping everyone’s in the same situation, and there is a doctor on staff. You’re hoping everybody is being checked out, and everybody is being - I say this in quotes - ‘monogamous’ to that relationship, but you don’t know.
“If there’s new girls coming up, which there often were, like, I just wanted to be first and be done. And I felt like that was the cleanest way.”
