On an E! True Hollywood Story about Kendra Wilkinson it was revealed to us that she had a serious coke problem in her teens.  I love Kendra and i love her laugh which is contagious, and I am happy to hear that this is far in the past.  You would never know from looking at her that she used to have a problem, she is always energetic and glowing.

She gave up the white stuff after a bad overdose when she really thought that she was going to die.

Discussing the harrowing ordeal in her ‘E! True Hollywood Story’ TV documentary, the 24-year-old star said: “I was bleeding from every hole in my body and I really thought I was going to die that night. But you know what, I survived, and I swear it was a couple of days after that that I had an epiphany. I just stopped drugs, stopped smoking cigarettes, stopped everything and went home.”

She recalled: “All of a sudden my friends broke out this white stuff. I started feeling pretty good. That was the start of my drug days.”

Kendra was only 13 years old when she first tried cocaine, and by the time she was 15 she was regularly abusing several drugs, and as a result feeling suicidal. 13 is so young! I hadn’t even tried weed at 13, let alone cocaine.

When Kendra was 15, her mother Patti made the tough decision to send her daughter to a psychiatric facility for two weeks in a bid to get her off drugs, but it didn’t work.

“It was crazy in that place. We didn’t see daylight. We weren’t allowed outside. It was basically a jail, but it was a hospital. But it did not change me at all. I think it made me worse because in my heart I didn’t want to change. People were forcing me, and that’s something that does not work with me.”

After her near-death experience, Kendra decided to turn her life around. She took up sports, got a job, and eventually got noticed by Playboy mogul Hugh Hefner after posing for some sexy photos which ended up on a fax machine at the Playboy Mansion.  We all know Playboy turned her life around.  She definitely got lucky.

Now she is happily married to Hank Baskett who she has a beautiful little baby boy with, Hank Randall Baskett.  They are a happy little family, and it is great to hear how far she has come from her darker days only 9 years ago.
