Former Playboy Bunny Kendra Wilkinson breaks down in tears after being fired by client
Kendra Wilkinson has shared the behind the scenes struggles of being a real estate agent, and it's not all glitz and glamor.
The 41-year-old rose to fame in the early 2000's after she became a star in the series, The Girls Next Door, also known as the The Girls of the Playboy Mansion, a reality show which followed the women who lived alongside the late Hugh Hefner.
Wilkinson moved out of the house in 2009, when she married her now ex-husband, Hank Baskett. 11 years after moving out, she began her career in real estate, which she showcased on the reality TV series, Kendra Sells Hollywood, which aired for two seasons.
Despite the show ending in 2023, the star has continued her career behind the scenes, and now she's giving her followers an insight into the tough side.

Over a picture of herself in tears in her car, posted to her Instagram Story, Wilkinson penned: "When a client fires you... after all the work you put in. Ya I'm struggling today guys."
Expanding further in a video posted after, she said: "I know that we're living in a world of struggle right now, I know that. But it's just so hard right now," as she burst into tears.
"I feel like I'm doing everything right in my life. I'm raising my kids and putting them first. I'm doing everything good, I'm a good person. It's just such a struggle right now," Wilkinson continued on a separate story.
The former Playboy Bunny is mother to two children, Hank Randall Baskett IV, 16 and Alijah Mary Baskett, 12, who she shares with her ex-husband, NFL star Hank Baskett.
The former couple filed for divorce in 2018, and agreed to split custody of their two children when their divorce was finalized in 2019.
"Finding people to work with me, getting fired, people being rude and mean, it's taking a toll," Wilkinson continued in her emotional social media posts.
However, just two hours later, Wilkinson looked much happier, as she appeared in a different location, in which she thanked her fans for all the positive messages and prayers.
"Today was a rough one," she said. "But I put in some eye drops, put on my face and I'm ready to take on a new day. Gotta get back up, right?"
Wilkinson then shifted to a positive attitude, saying it was time to 'enjoy and be grateful' for what she does have in life.
Earlier this year, the star opened up about her 'really crazy, amazing five years of real estate', telling Realtor.com: “It definitely was not an easy transition going from television [for] 20 years into a super-high-demand new career.
“The transition was pretty excruciating, to be honest, 'cause when you're used to something, doing another career, it's not easy just to reprogram your head overnight and enter a new career. It was harder than I thought it would be.”
“It's basically building your own business from scratch,” Wilkinson added. “You don't just get to walk in as a celebrity and just become a star in real estate overnight. You have to start from scratch and work your way all the way up.
“I don't come from the riches of the world. I'm not a child of a wealthy Beverly Hills family. I’m here working from scratch, working my way up. ... Being a celebrity in this world means nothing.”
She went on to say that her kids keep her 'grounded', adding: “They keep me pushing forward. I want to show my kids that you can change the paths in your life if you choose, if you want to. It's not going to be easy, but you can do it.”
