Kendra Wilkinson scared over sex tape

Published on May 5, 2010 at 1:30 PM

Kendra Wilkinson (R) and Hank Baskett[HMG] – Now happily married and with her racier days far behind her, Kendra Wilkinson is allegedly scared this idyllic existence might get trashed by a sex tape.

The 24-year old ex-Playboy model and reality actress is now trying to prevent Vivid Entertainment — the same firm that sold Kim Kardashian’s tape — from releasing a video she made in her dim, distant past.

Sources say Kendra knew the tape still existed, but she never believed her co-star would sell it. Her lawyers are now trying to block the release as she’s afraid it could damage her marriage to Philadelphia Eagles’ wide receiver, Hank Baskett.

Her attorneys, the respected firm of Lavely and Singer [home to Marty Singer, who is handling David Boreanaz' current problems,] have sent Vivid a withering letter of cease-and-desist.

“The video is private and highly confidential, taken for private use and not for public disclosure,” it reads. “Any exploitation of the video would be a gross violation of Miss Wilkinson’s constitutional and common law rights of privacy.”

Kendra and Hank were married on June 27 last year, their baby, Hank IV arrived on December 11, and Kendra’s completely besotted;

“He is the best thing that ever happened to me and Hank,” she gushed at reporters. “Every day he changes a bit and I find out something new.”

Interviewed for E’s ‘True Hollywood Story’ last March, Kendra admitted a wild past, including drugs and alcohol. But she said she never told Hank’s family about her Playboy spreads or being Heff’s girlfriend, and is frightened the truth could now come back to bite her.

And that looks pretty likely — Radar says Vivid’s CEO, Steve Hirsch is not even phased by her legal team’s threats;

“After reviewing our legal position we remain confident of our right to distribute the video. Thus Vivid plans to release ‘Kendra Exposed’ within the next few weeks,” Steve has now said in a press statement.

But the most telling part of this predictable ‘drama’ comes from Kendra’s own rep:

“During this difficult time, Kendra and her family would greatly appreciate the respect of their privacy.”
