Katie Price's Playboy Mansion Stay
Katie Price has opened up about her six-week stay at the Playboy mansion in 2002, revealing bowls of cocaine and structured sex nights. In a new Sky documentary, the former glamour model, then known as Jordan, recounts her invitation from Hugh Hefner to live at the mansion while she was set to become a Playboy cover star.
Arrangement and Payment
Hefner paid Price a six-figure sum for her Playboy appearance. She said: "It was about a quarter of a million or something I got for that. He wanted me to be one of his girlfriends but I didn't because I didn't want to have sex with him…but they said I could stay at the mansion." Price brought her newborn son Harvey and her mother Amy, who stayed at a nearby hotel.
Structured Days at the Mansion
Contrary to expectations, Price described a regimented schedule. She said: "It's not what people would think it was like, it was different. Girls in bikinis all done up walking around and playing beach ball and he is sat there with his mate in his dressing gown playing cards. It looked like Barbieland." On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, the group would go out, then return for a group bath, followed by activities in Hefner's bedroom.
Cocaine and Sex
Photographer Jeany Savage, who accompanied Price, said: "It was quite entertaining, bowls of cocaine everywhere. A lot of cocaine around." Price described the bedroom scene: "Sex toys like pneumatic drills, I've never seen anything like it. And a big screen with porn playing…Some girls are completely naked, I had my knickers on, and you see girls getting off with each other, having sex. I had a little experiment." She confirmed seeing other girls having sex with Hefner.
Criticism Over Harvey
The documentary also addresses criticism Price faced for returning to work shortly after Harvey's birth. Harvey was born with Prader-Willi Syndrome and blindness. Price defended her actions: "Ten days later, after having Harvey, I was straight back to work. I was a single parent mum, that was my job, and I'm going to continue it." Her mother Amy and photographer Jeany Savage expressed disapproval. Amy said: "I couldn't believe it, really making money out of Harvey. I really thought that that should have been kept private." Price responded: "I am in the public eye…I'm not going to hide him away. Why? I'm proud that I've got my son. I've monetized my life from 17."
