Hugh Hefner's former #1 girlfriend Holly Madison revealed her outrage after rewatching The Girls Next Door with Bridget Marquardt, claiming the editing was malicious at times and should be "borderline illegal," RadarOnline.com has learned.

"Holly warned me that the first three episodes were really hard to watch," Marquardt said during a new joint interview on the Juicy Scoop With Heather McDonald podcast.

The popular reality show, which ran from 2005 to 2010, gave a behind-the-scenes look at life inside the iconic Playboy mansion, introducing the world to Hefner's three leading ladies at the time: Madison, Marquardt, and Kendra Wilkinson.

Madison, who has been very outspoken about the dark side of the Playboy world after leaving Hefner, said watching one scene back in particular was blood-boiling.

"They make it look like Bridget is, like, plying all the new playmates with drinks to mess them up for their shoot the next day because she's jealous," Madison dished, noting that different clips appeared to be cut together in order to give a more dramatic effect.

"So, it looks like [Bridget] is literally trying to, like, shove shots in everybody's face because she wants to sabotage," the model continued, venting about what appeared to be a thinly-veiled attempt to boost ratings. "I think that's messed up."

Marquardt admitted she had her sights set on becoming Playmate of the Year and claimed that was used against her.

Madison also slammed the editing, claiming, "They never did that to Kendra. Ever."
