Girls Next Door bunny Holly Madison is causing some major dramz on the set of their reality show,
behind the scenes atPlayboy mag AND at the mansion, according to reports.
Holly's doing crazy shit like trying to take editorial control over the Playboy magazine spreads.
Insiders say Holly's ambition isn't sitting well with fellow Girls bunny Kendra Wilkinson.
They go on to say 'everyone' hates Holly - but no one more than Kendra.
H and K supposedly can't be in the same room without going at it–making it super difficult for producers who have to shoot around the bitch fest.
The third Girls bunny Bridget, reportedly does her best to keep the peace and remain neutral.
We think Kendra might be moving out real soon, cuz Holly is Hef's #1 bitch!
