Holly Madison is spilling major tea, and this time, it’s not ghost-related.
The former Girls Next Door star has publicly accused her ex-boyfriend, Ghost Adventures host Zak Bagans, of cheating on her with at least seven different women. Yep, seven. And she’s got receipts. The drama exploded on social media over the weekend, and fans are still trying to catch their breath.
The cheating bombshell came just two months after Madison confirmed their breakup on her Girls Next Level podcast in March. But what seemed like a relatively quiet split has turned into full-blown chaos. On May 10, Madison dropped the first hint via Instagram Stories, writing over a photo of a swimming pool, “It’s a perfect day for me and not my ex, who I just found out was cheating on me with at least three other girls. Never too late to find out! Lol.”
But that was just the beginning. The number quickly climbed as Madison continued updating her followers. “Wait. The count is now up to four girls. And they all have major receipts,” she posted, clearly shocked but unbothered enough to turn it into a savage game of ‘guess the cheat count.’ Later that day, the tally rose again: “It’s up to five girls now!” By the end of May 11, she was up to seven alleged women involved. “Some people were cheating in bulk,” she added cheekily with a photo taken at Costco, turning the heartbreak into one of the most savage celebrity call-outs we’ve seen in a while.
Though Madison hasn’t detailed exactly how she found out, she’s made it clear she’s not just speculating. The mentions of “receipts” and “all the girls” suggest a serious backchannel of DM confessions, screenshots, and shared stories, basically, every cheater’s worst nightmare.
She also posted a TikTok video of herself lying in bed, staring into the camera, with the caption, “My fantasy ‘I’m bored’ scenario would be all the girls my most recent ex cheated with just filling me in. I need the lore.” It didn’t take long for fellow internet star Trisha Paytas to jump in with support, commenting, “I couldn’t imagine cheating on literally the perfect woman.” Madison replied with a sweet “Thank you, Trish. 🩷🩷🩷.”
To rewind a little, Madison and Bagans started dating in June 2019 after she finalized her divorce from Electric Daisy Carnival founder Pasquale Rotella. They were on and off for nearly six years, but Madison revealed that things became especially unstable in the final year. “We were very off and on for the past year, very much,” she said on her podcast. “We broke up, and I mean unfollowed on social media, which we’ve never done before through all the breakups.” That move alone seemed to signal something was different this time, and clearly, it was.
As of now, reps for both Madison and Bagans haven’t responded to the cheating claims, but Madison seems content letting her posts speak for themselves. She’s clearly done keeping the peace and is leaning into the honesty, however messy it may be.
And let’s be real: this isn’t just your typical Hollywood breakup. It’s messy, it’s public, and it’s making waves because it taps into something so real. Holly Madison’s cheating accusations strike a chord with anyone who’s found out the hard way that their partner wasn’t who they thought they were. Except instead of crying into her pillow, Madison is owning the narrative, clapbacks and all.
