Kendra Wilkinson Fights Release of Sex Tape

By PopEater Staff Posted May 5th 2010 02:38PM

Vivid Entertainment announced it has acquired the rights to a sex tape featuring famed Playboy Playmate Kendra Wilkinson, and it plans to release the tape at the end of the month. Radar Online reports that Wilkinson has hired Los Angeles-based lawyer Yael E. Holtkamp to stop the tape's release, confirming it is in fact the real deal. The sex tape is "highly confidential, taken for private use and not for public disclosure," as specified in a cease and desist letter to Vivid. According to sources, the tape was made with an ex-boyfriend before Wilkinson met professional footballer Hank Baskett, whom she married last June and has one child with.

The CEO of Vivid, Steve Hirsch, is not backing-down, even after receiving the legal warning from Wilkinson's lawyers. "After reviewing our legal position, we remain confident of our right to distribute the video. Thus Vivid.Com plans to release 'Kendra Exposed' within the next several weeks," he told Radar.

The adult film company is the same one that brought sex tapes from Kim Kardashian, Shauna Sand and Paris Hilton into the world. It is speculated that one of Kendra's ex-boyfriends sold the sex tape to Vivid, with sources revealing that Wilkinson knew about the video but never thought that it would be released to the public.

Vivid released a full press release to the media about Wilkinson's salacious sex tape:

"We know that Kendra has millions of fans and we feel that it's rare to find well-produced, hardcore footage of a star of her magnitude. The tape was brought to us by a third party and after consulting with our attorneys, we are confident in our right to distribute it. We've been trying to reach Kendra but have so far been unsuccessful. We therefore made the decision to release 'Kendra Exposed' to stores across the country by the end of May," said Steven Hirsch, founder/co-chairman of Vivid. "We believe this could be our all time best selling celebrity tape."

Hey Greg,

Jealous or something. Hank is a real man and gentleman.....more than I can say for you. Kendra is just barely out of her teens, and yes she made bad choices, a lesson for all young women. She is doing her best to be a good mother and wife. Maybe she deserves a break. I'm on her team.

i cant wait!!!

Kendra didn't move to the mansion until she was 18 so this video could be from when she was underage and that wouldn't be smart on Vivids part in this, now would it? Just let Kendra, Hand and Little Hank live there lives.

By Amy

I agree with n2-she has shown everything she has-and she is objecting to a tape?? Pleeeeze-she is probably the third party who is releasing it.

By jerry

Amy, could not agree with you more, this no talent bimbo is making money hand over fist with absolutely no talent at all, the ratings for her Show if you can call it that suck, I've seen the show twice, fisrt, she was making a turkey, didn't even know when it was done and all the while twirling her hair, second time I saw it, she was in a nightclub with her friends smoking a freakin cigar, saying, oh, this is how you smoke it, gee, what talent, please take her and Kate G. away.

By nikki

yeah i pretty much doubt she would expose herself in such a way people say shes a hoe yes because she oooohh my gosh posed for playboy but i dont think she would have the nerve to release a sesx tape of herself yyaaa i think your pretty stupid shes got a good life going for her now i dont think she would de-grade herself by releasing a video on her own someone is definately out for money!

TO NIKKI,
SHE MADE the degrading sex tape in the first place. Like another poster said, ya cant make housewives out of ho's. All she is known for is screwing an ugly old man when she was 18, GEE, what high morals and values and goals! Her goal was to sleep her way to the top, she succeeded. (shoulda been SUCKceeded) Why would anyone want to bring that skank home to mom anyway? I can see it now, Hi Mom, heres my new GF, she used to sleep with the hef for money (cause she sure as hell didnt do it because he was her "dream toad" I believe they call that a prostitute) but shes mine now, arent you proud?

dont believe it for a second. the ratings for her tv show suck andanything that brings attention to her is a positive.
as they say , there is no such thing as bad publicity

By Jennifer

When will people learn?

By yourmomma

Take note girls (and guys) never ever make a sex tape or take pictures unless you don't care about them getting out. Remember you may not care today but I'll bet you will care 5 or 10 years down the road. Keep your private business private

By ceeejaaa

Right ON YOURMOMMA!!....MY momma told me never make film, take pics or write anything down that you would not want the world to see because once its out there.... I listened to her so girls LISTEN UP. They may tell you they erased it or its just for THEM but don't you believe it!!

By JBaer

Sex tapes are getting boring...

By yeahtoast420

I am so confused...Kendra had lived at the mansion as Hef's girlfriend since she was 18yrs old....when did she have an opprotunity to have a boyfriend??? Hef had very strict rules, curfew, ect...How did he allow this "sex tape" to occur?

By cgray

she admitted on national tv she snuck out of the mansion at nite because she needed sex..

By shalford34

See what happens when you try to turn a hoe into a housewife.

By lyn

Of course she has a sex tape, doesn't everyone?????

By CHRISTINA

BEWARE TO ANYONE! YOU MAKE A SEX TAPE! YOUR AT YOUR OWN RISK ON WHO/HOW/WHAT/WHEN/WHERE COULD POSSIBLY BE USED AGAINST YOU. THIS SHOULD BE THE NEW LABEL ON THESE TAPES!
