from www.myfoxdetroit.com – Former Playboy model Kendra Wilkinson secretly set up the release of her homemade sex tape and then publicly threatened legal action against the distributors, RadarOnline reported Monday.

The gossip website claimed the U.S. reality star had her former manager Matt Cohen meet with porn company Vivid in 2008 to discuss the release of the tape that featured the model aged 18, with her then boyfriend.

Celebrity sex tape broker Kevin Blatt told the website: “Back in June of 2008, a guy who said he was Kendra’s manager, Matt Cohen, came up to me and said that she had a sex tape and was willing to sign off on it.

“I deal with a lot of unsavory people in my industry and for someone to approach me and say Kendra has a tape and is willing to sign off on it while she was living at the mansion, I thought, ‘No way is this true.’ But in this case it was.”

He alleged the encounter took place in Las Vegas at the Hard Rock Hotel during the AVN awards show for the porn industry.

Wilkinson, who is married to NFL Philadelphia Eagles player Hank Baskett, then asked her lawyer Yael E. Holtkamp to publicly appear to fight the release of the tape, claimed RadarOnline.

Wilkinson has refused to address the website’s claims.

Pamela Anderson, Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian are among numerous celebrities whose homemade sex tapes have found their way into the public domain.
