Holly Madison is "not opposed" to repairing her rift with Kendra Wilkinson.
The former Playboy model admitted she and her former Girls Next Door co-star - who both dated late Playboy founder Hugh Hefner at the same time, along with Bridget Marquardt - haven't spoken since they fell out in 2012, and she accused their former producer, Kevin Burns, of setting up their feud.
Speaking on E!'s Hot Goss, she said: “Kendra and I don't speak. But I'm not opposed to speaking.
“We had a falling out, but it was after the show. It was stuff that had to do with our spinoffs and working with the same producer, and I really feel like he tried to pit us against each other and got in our heads. So, that's a shame.”
The 46-year-old model felt Kendra - who has Hank Jr., 16, and 11-year-old Alijah with ex-husband Hank Baskett - had got "caught up in the tabloid cycle" at the time, with their rift strengthened when she declared she and Holly were not friends.
Holly said: " "You know what I think it was? At the time, she was really caught up in the tabloid cycle. If her thing to get in the tabloids that week was a rift with someone, then she was going to say it, and if somebody wrote a clickbait headline, she was going to retweet it.
“I’m sitting here like, ‘Wait, I just sent your son a Christmas gift. We’re not friends? That's so weird.' So I think she was just really caught up.
“We were never as close, obviously, as me and Bridget—we don't have much in common.
“But we shared a lot of experiences and had a lot of good times together so I never thought of her as not a friend.
“This was like 2012 when we had that falling out, and I just think that was the cycle that was happening.”
Kendra previously criticized Holly over her 2015 memoir Down the Rabbit Hole, in which she branded her frenemy "the fakest person I've ever met” and alleged that she “continued to push me away".
Speaking on her reality show Kendra On Top, Kendra said of Holly in 2015: "We were never friends.
"At the end of the day, what we did was we just f***** the same man. That's not friends."
And Kendra, 41, admitted she always felt like a "third wheel" when she, Holly and Bridget were together.
Speaking on the Him + Her podcast last year, she said: “I wasn’t really a ‘girl’s girl’ at that point in life.
“I was more of a ‘guy’s girl,’ so we never really bonded. I was always the third wheel.”
