David Haye begged me to ‘bring girlfriends’ for group sex & threw me on bed, says ex who backs him in ‘ugly bird’ row
HE has long been known for his enthusiasm for so-called throuples.
Now David Haye‘s ex has spoken of the day he asked her to “bring your girlfriends” to his hotel room, where he was waiting in his boxer shorts.
Model Zoe Gregory says the I’m A Celeb star seemed fascinated by her unconventional romance with Playboy boss Hugh Hefner, with whom she shared a bed along with six other women.
She met heavyweight boxing champion Haye after he fought a bout at Hef’s notorious mansion in LA in 2003.
In an exclusive interview Zoe, 51, revealed: “He asked me what group sex is like and I said, ‘It works.’
“He seemed fascinated and very curious. He probably thought, OK I’ll have to give that a try one day. After I gave him my number, he asked me to visit him and he said: ‘Bring your girlfriends to the hotel too.’
“He was on a high after the boxing match and he probably thought, they all want to smash me. I was in awe of him so it didn’t put me off. He’s a smooth operator. I don’t remember exactly what he said, but he was charming and persuasive.
“He was very complimentary when I turned up to the hotel but I knew he just wanted to get in my pants.
“When I reached his hotel, I thought we would chill by the pool, but he said, ‘No come to the room, I’m still getting ready.’
“He opened the door in his boxer shorts and I wasn’t expecting that, but I wasn’t mad either. He literally grabbed me out the doorway and threw me on the bed so that was that.”
Zoe opened-up about her time with the boxer after he was slammed for his “sexist” comments while competing on the all-star version of I’m A Celeb in South Africa.
Referring to his long-term girlfriend Sian Osborne as having the personality of “a proper ugly bird,” he went on to claim that most good-looking women are “idiots” and that less attractive girls work harder on their personalities to win attention.
Singers Ashley Roberts and Sinitta were left shaking their heads while Corrie actress Beverley Callard later complained: “I’ve never heard anything so sexist in my life.”
Fashion model Sian, 33, defended him, saying in an exclusive interview: “I consider it a compliment.
“A big one. I’m fluent in David by now and my family find it hilarious.”
Miami-based Zoe, who cheated on Hefner with Haye, also backs him.
She explains: “I totally agree with him because everyone judges a book by its cover. People will look at me, blonde hair and big tits, and assume that I’m a bimbo.
“That’s because most blondes are bimbos, unfortunately. Blondes are very ditzy and that’s why they get that label. I’ve found myself saying the same things as David.
“Being around the girls at the Mansion, the ugly ones were always overcompensating with their personality. They would feel, I’m not that great looking so I’m going to have to do cartwheels to compete with the favourites.
“When I go the gym, I see girls wearing next to nothing and they don’t have a body to be wearing that – or a face. They don’t even look like they work out but sometimes people go that extra mile to overcompensate, to fit in.
“I feel bad saying it, but it’s true. It’s the way society is and social media has made it even worse. You are always going to have girls that get bent out of shape by comments like David’s and they are usually the fat ugly ones.
“David has met enough women to be an authority on this. If this is his opinion based on all the women he’s met, I can’t say he’s wrong.
“But he is in a corner with the public and he’s got to take a beating. Everything he says, people are watching and listening and they will use it against him to make out he’s a bad person. But he’s really not a bad person.
“He’s an opinionated person and he’s got a right to his own opinion. David is known for talking his mind and having a crazy sex life and being open about it.
“I can’t fault him for being like that.”
Mum-of-one Zoe moved from London to Los Angeles in her early 20s to work as a model and erotic B movie actress. She was accompanied by her husband, DJ Chris Paul and their young son, who is now in his 30s.
But once offered the chance to live with Hefner at his £150m LA mansion – having met the magazine boss at one of his notorious parties – she decided the opportunity was too good to turn down.
HE’S SEXIST RELIC
By Julie Bindel
SOMETIMES a sexist is easy to spot.
Take the boxer David Haye who, while on I’m a Celebrity South Africa, described his girlfriend Sian Osborne as having “the personality of a proper ugly bird”.
His deeply offensive remarks, which also included saying “pretty girls’ ugly friends have got to work a bit harder”, go to show that he’s not only misogynistic, but stupid as well.
The deeply old-fashioned myth that women who are not conventionally attractive develop better personalities to compensate does nothing to explain why men lacking in looks do not do the same.
Haye genuinely disrespects women and I just hope no women will ever be fooled into thinking him a catch.
Men: don’t be like Haye. Never underestimate a woman.
She lived with Hef, who was then in his 70s and relying heavily on Viagra to perform in bed, from 2001 to 2004.
But still married to her first husband, she always living with Hef as a job rather than a romantic relationship and she walked out following a series of rows with his number one girlfriend Holly Madison.
In 2024, she published a memoir called From Britain to Bunny in which she detailed her “hot 15 minutes” with Haye, which she described as “crazy and electric.”
Looking back on that day, she recalls: “David did seem fascinated by Hef. He asked me lots of intimate questions about him.
“He said, ‘So you’ve got to sleep with him?’ I said, ‘Yes, but it’s more of a job for me.’
“He said, ‘That’s weird.’ Then he asked, ‘Can Hef still get it up?’ I said, ‘Yes, of course.’
“I told him what went on in the bedroom – the orgies and Hef’s harem of women – and he seemed impressed by that. He was very complimentary towards me – he told me I have both beauty and brains.”
Zoe, who now works in promotions, last bumped into Haye at a restaurant in Miami two years ago just before her book was released. He was with girlfriend Sian, who has allowed him to spend time with Saturdays’ singer Una Healy and DJ Mica Jova – relationships that have been described as ‘throuples.’
Zoe continued: “David and Sian were over for a boxing event and it turned out we had a mutual friend, a photographer.
“David was surprised to see me. He was like, ‘Oh!’ It was a bit awkward because I wasn’t sure if Sian knew about our history.
“David said, ‘You look really well.’ I said ‘Yes, you too.’ It was a flirty moment and it was funny. And I swear David looked exactly the same as I remembered him. He’s aged very well.
“I got to meet Sian and she’s lovely, sweet girl. When I first met her, she didn’t say much and wasn’t very outgoing. She just sat there.
“I introduced myself and was doing extra to make her feel comfortable and after a few minutes, she warmed up. I kept the conversation away from him because I didn’t know what she knew and the book hadn’t come out yet.
“I wouldn’t say, ‘Oh by the way I f****d your boyfriend.’ I would never have a conversation like that. I do think David has got used to women throwing themselves at him.
I told him, ‘You need to go for an older woman that doesn’t get intimidated by you and can put you in your place.’
“Because otherwise he is just going to walk all over a girl, because it’s his way or the highway. He’s got his cake and he’s eating it – and I love him for that.”
