Former Playboy model and entertainer Holly Madison has filed a lawsuit claiming someone recorded video of her getting undressed.
The lawsuit names several groups who Madison claims installed a camera to record her and other female showgirls as they changed costumes for performances held at 1923 Bourbon & Burlesque.

Madison claims she became aware of the alleged recordings when two other performers noticed the camera feed and complained, but when the issue was brought up to a manager, he allegedly said the footage was “not a big deal”.
A lawyer for the Mandalay Bay venue tells Fox411 there was no hidden camera in Madison’s dressing room, and he insists the blonde beauty and fellow showgirls elected to change in a public area that was always under surveillance.
Meanwhile, Madison’s attorney Eva Garcia-Mendoza tells E! News the venue bosses are completely at fault for the alleged recordings, saying, “It’s a crime. Not only Holly has been damaged but four of the dancers that I field a suit for separately, they are going through some serious emotional distress right now.
“They were changing clothes during a routine – wiping down their body and other things and never expecting they were under the eye of a camera. And for the defendants to come in and say, ‘Well, when we found out we rectified it… they were looking at it every day for four or five months. They only rectified it when someone complained… It probably still would have been rolling.”
Madison began her stint in the burlesque show in April. Her run came to an end in late summer.
