After weeks of well-paid stories playing the victim, followed by a barrage of unleavened hype, Kendra Wilkinson’s first sex-tape emerges today.
Released one week early due to ‘huge demand’ the disk has already earned the 24-year old former Playmate a windfall of $680,000. And her contract with Vivid guarantees her 50% of all sales from here on.
“Kendra has a huge fan base and we’ve been besieged with requests to release the movie,” Vivid’s Steven Hirsch told Radar.
The first installment of what may be Kendra’s new choice of career is now the best selling title in Vivid’s history – Outstripping even Kim Kardashian’s duet with ex-boyfriend, Ray J, which she sold to the company in 2007 for $5-million, after a similar ‘victim’ campaign and a hi-profile lawsuit, which she never pursued.
Made in 2004 when she was 18, Kendra’s tape features ex-boyfriend, Justin Frye, plus some rather interesting scenes with a lady.
But Kendra is now married to the Philadelphia Eagles’ Hank Baskett, and is scheduled to face Hank’s deeply religious parents at the younger couple’s “Tee’d Off About Child Abuse” Celebrity Golf match this weekend.
The event is intended a benefit to support a center for victims in Clovis, New Mexico, which Hank’s father runs. Kendra put on a brave face for the event’s official reception on May 21, but by midnight – after several drinks – sources say she was begging Hank to let her escape.
“Hank’s dad kept rubbing her back and calling her ’sweetie’,” one guest recalls.
The next morning Kendra hid in her room, finally emerging at around 11am with her mother, Patti. The pair then tried to get lunch, but Kendra soon fled back to the room and refused to come out until she and the family left the hotel.
And the moral of the story is clear – When you deliberately lie to get cheap publicity, payback can be a real bitch…
