Kendra Wilkinson admitted she was having marital problems with husband Hank Baskett and slammed reports that she was faking the issues for reality TV.
In a lengthy Instagram message Wednesday, Wilkinson said it “makes absolutely no sense” that she would “fake marital problems.” She included an image of a report that stated the reality star and Baskett were “faking it” to secure another season of their TV show, “Kendra on Top.”
“Yes we are having issues,” Wilkinson said. “My job has been reality TV for 13 years.”

She said she “loves” her job as a reality star, but added: “Unfortunately these issues at home are affecting my decisions cuz the last thing i want to do is hurt Hank.”
