Kendra Wilkinson has $3 million reasons to let sex tapes air, but two good reasons not to
Posted by Jo bansi in 3 million reasons, Kendra Wilkinson
Kendra Wilkinson finds herself in a tough spot now that her sex tape(s) are in the hands of Vivid Entertainment. Reports say her co-star in that first tape is a long-term boyfriend named Justin. They were together from when Kendra left High School in 2003 until Heffner met her at his 78th birthday bash at the Playboy mansion in April 2004.Kendra could reportedly pocket $3 million dollars from the X-rated film, which is set to air online in the next week. She “could get 20 percent of the profits and make $3.2 million easily,” the president of Vivid Video, tells Life & Style magazine.But here’s the catch, if she takes the money she’s risking losing future endorsement deals not to mention her marriage.“Kendra wants it both ways. She wants the money but at the same time wants to pretend she is horrified about the release of the tape,” a source said.
“Kendra knows there is a lot of money she can make being a celebrity mom, endorsing all sorts of baby products. The last thing she wants is to frighten these brands away, yet at the same time $3 million is a lot of money.”Kendra and Hank Hank Basket, who married on June 27 last year at the Playboy Mansion, are said to be having trouble holding that marriage together after Kendra’s sex tapes became public;“Hank is totally upset and embarrassed,” an insider tells Life & Style. “He’s so angry.”
That anger may be due to the news that Kendra was trying to sell several tapes by herself, just weeks after Hank surprised her with a romantic proposal at Seattle’s Space Needle in October of 2008.“Kendra’s sex tape was offered to me two years ago,” says celebrity sex-tape broker, Kevin Blatt. “It was offered by a person who said he was Kendra’s manager.”Since the sex-tape story erupted a few days ago Hank has been playing the supportive husband, but friends say he’s slowly going off that whole plan.“The main reason he’s embarrassed is the team’s reaction,” says an insider. “He needs to concentrate on his career right now, and this just creates more distractions for him.”
