Raef-Ramirez/AKM-GSIUnfortunately, things don't seem to be looking up for Kendra Wilkinson-Baskett.
E! News learned that the reality star is "hysterical" following the latest bombshell regarding the drama surrounding her marriage. An audio tape allegedly confirming the ongoing rumors that her husband Hank Baskett cheated on her with a transsexual woman, who is referred to as London, was leaked on the Internet—if the man on the audio is in fact Hank. E! News has not confirmed the authenticity of the recording.
"She has been hysterical. She is just trying to take it all in," a source close to the couple tells us. "Right now she is really letting everything soak in before figuring out what happens next."
Another source tells E! News that her next step may be a divorce. "She is reconsidering the divorce. It's an on-going battle. One minute she wants to do it and another she doesn't. She goes back-and-forth in her head about what marriage is supposed to be, through the good and bad, thick and thin, but in light of what has happened it has forced her once again to reevaluate everything."
The insider adds, "Kendra is really pissed off! She is mortified and extremely hurt."
E! News has reached out to Hank for comment concerning the tape.
The audio, which originally surfaced on Radar Online, claims to be a recorded phone conversation between Hank and his alleged mistress. In the recording, "Hank" is heard questioning London on whether or not the model spilled the beans on their encounter and subsequently begging her to keep quiet.
"I just wanted to confirm that you hadn't said anything," the man on the tape said to London. "They just said two weeks before Kendra was pregnant that I hooked up...I hate to say it ‘cause I would never say this word, but they said I hooked up with a tranny."
E! News exclusively learned that amid their ongoing (and public) marital drama, the couple have decided that they will star on the next season of Marriage Boot Camp and will be filming for the next two weeks. Their latest efforts to make their relationship work came on the heels of the mother of two speaking to us about why she believes her husband "deserves sympathy."
"He was never a douchebag," she said, defending her partner of five years. "He's always been the most perfect man on Earth. Now he's Superman without the cape. He needs a lot of work, that's the issue."
