Vivid to Release 'Kendra Exposed' on Wednesday

Update: AVN Senior Editor Mark Kernes will be interviewed on the AM station KFWB News Talk 980 about the Kendra Wilkinson tape between 4 and 7 p.m. this afternoon.

LOS ANGELES—Responding to the demand for the Kendra Exposed DVD, Vivid Entertainment has moved up the distribution date by one week to this Wednesday. The studio has also posted a much anticipated first glance of the outrageous, XXX Kendra Wilkinson sex tape on vivid.com today.   

"Kendra has a huge fan base, and we've been literally besieged with requests to release this movie sooner rather than later," said Steven Hirsch, founder/co-chairman of Vivid. "So we are offering them a chance to see a really hot advance clip on our website site starting today, and we've advanced the date fans can purchase the full, uncensored movie. It will be available online through vivid.com or in stores across the country before the Memorial Day weekend."

Kendra is the star of her own highly rated reality show, "Kendra" on the E! Television Network and before that was one of the stars of E!'s wildly successful "Girls Next Door." Her completely explicit, athletically erotic sex tape was made before she married Philadelphia Eagles receiver Hank Baskett, when she was just 18 and obviously enjoying her first starring role.

Vivid is moving ahead with the release of the film despite a legal attempt by Wilkinson to block its distribution. "As we said all along, we remain totally confident in our right to release the film," Hirsch said, adding, "in fact, confident enough to move the date up a week."

The movie will be distributed under the Vivid-Celeb imprint that is famous for featuring such high-profile celebrities as Pamela Anderson, Kim Kardashian and most recently country singer Mindy McCready, as intimate and revealing as you will ever see them.
