In a previous statement, the magazine said in part, "After nearly 70 years in business, there are many elements of Playboy's long history of which we are immensely proud, and there are elements we find unworthy of our principles. Today, we strive to live up to the positive aspects of our legacy, and are proud of the work we have done in recent years to stand for freedom and equality while advancing our mission of pleasure for all. The Hefner family is no longer associated with Playboy."
The A&E docuseries, premiering Jan. 24, will also feature interviews with Hugh's personal valet Stefan Tetenbaum, Playboy Mansion West resident Jennifer Saginor, former "Bunny Mother" PJ Masten, former Director of Playmate Promotions Miki Garcia and other past girlfriends of Hefner's, including Bridget Marquardt and Sondra Theodore.
Holly has previously opened up about her relationship with Hugh, who died at the age of 91 in September 2017.
"I tricked myself into thinking I had feelings for Hef," she wrote in her 2015 memoir, "He had this gentlemanly veneer, he was intelligent, and I loved watching old movies with him. I focused on the positive things, not the negative."
