Louise Glover, a former Playboy model who once lived at Hugh Hefner’s mansion, is now living in a $80 tent due to financial struggles. Glover, 41, was the first British model to be named Playboy’s Model of the Year in 2006, but her life has drastically changed since then. She shared in an interview that rent prices became unmanageable, and after her monthly rent jumped from $730 to $1000, she moved into a tent at a campsite near Reading. Glover is trying to build her personal training and dog walking businesses but admits the situation is challenging.
Despite the difficult circumstances, Glover remains hopeful and is focused on staying safe and optimistic. She described using two hot water bottles to stay warm at night and sleeping on a blow-up mattress in her tent. The transition from Hefner’s mansion, where she was surrounded by fame and luxury, to living in a tent has been a sharp contrast. However, she fondly remembers her time at the mansion, calling it “the best time” of her life and reflecting on her friendships with other models.
Glover also addressed suggestions that she join OnlyFans to make money, but she rejected the idea, stating that she values her self-respect and morals. She explained that she prefers to “start from scratch” rather than lowering her standards. Despite her current challenges, she continues to look for ways to improve her situation, while maintaining her principles.
In her interview, Glover mentioned that a homeless shelter did not prioritize her due to her current circumstances, so she’s been relying on her tent and personal strength to get through this tough period. She hopes to turn things around soon, especially before the colder months arrive.
