• 1:40
  Speaker 4: public flogging unfortunately, but it is really cool to have
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: you all these things you've gone through and we seem
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: like we've watched you grow up, become an adult, get married,
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: get all these things. Is there some part all these
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: things are so personal? Is there some of it that
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: you think maybe shouldn't be done in the public eye?
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah? Yeah, I mean, you know, there's two there's a
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: many different like ways to look at this. There's there's Playboy,
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: there's show business, there's a media attention. There's like so
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: many different ways of looking at what I've done, you know,
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: And a lot of people focus a lot on like,
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: oh you did Playboy, Playboy, Playboy, but no one really
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: focuses and on like what it took to actually shoot
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: a reality TV show and what it does? What it what?
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: How much it takes to shoot a reality TV show?
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: And it took every ounce of my soul. Like that's
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: why they call it sell the soul and the devil.
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: Like I sell, I sold. I sold the god damn devil.
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: And and yeah, there's a price to pay with that.
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: There's a major price to pay with that. I have
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: a lot of regrets when it comes to that. I
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: don't have regrets with Playboy and all that, but I
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: have regrets on like, you know, where things went with
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: show business. So yeah, I mean, you know, there's we
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: made choice. We make choices, and we reap what we sew.
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: It is what it is. But you know, like and
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: I take full responsibility for my choices and my actions
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: and everything like that. But you know, like there was
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: a lot of pressure on me. There was a lot
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: of pressure, like shows called Kendra Kendra Sells, Hollywood, Kendra
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: Kendra on Top Kendra Kendra Kendra. Like you know, like
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: there's a major pressure on my shoulders to entertain and
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: to give the audience what they want and to get
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: you know, and to draw blood and to you know,
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: make people laugh, make people cry, make people you know, relate,
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: you know, And I sold a lot of my soul
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: that way, and you know, you can't get it back.
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: So like, you know, I always thought, like, oh, sharing
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: the realists and the rawest part of me would would
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: would would be the best way to go, you know,
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: with storytelling. And I did that, but you know, it
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: came with consequences. It came with a lot of media
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: attention and you know of a lot of people, you know,
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: not respect, like a lot of hate, a lot of criticizing.
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: So you know, and I can't I'm only one person.
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: I can't take on the world like that. So it
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: definitely hit me hard, what you know, It hit me
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: hard at one point and it and I crumbled and
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: I fell to my knees begging for mercy. And that's
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: you know, and that's that's kind of how things played out,
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: you know, over the course of twenty years.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: And yeah, over the course of twenty years. Kendrick.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, as we said, you started on that show in
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: two thousand and five, if my calculations are correct, because
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: you are still thirty nine years old. You were a
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: teenager when you started in this not just the television business,
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: but this was a highly sexualized, some would say over sexualized.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, part of.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: Television, not just the magazine. But now you're one of
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: Hugh Hefner's girlfriends one of three, I think initially at
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: the time. But you again, you were nineteen. So I
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: hear you saying, I take for responsibility for my actions,
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: I take responsibility for my decisions.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: But you were just a baby. I'm sorry, but you
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: were a baby. How did you get in that position
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: to begin with?
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: You know, like I, I was a horrible teenager, Like
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: I was horrible, Like I was a runaway. I sold
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: cocaine at the age of fifteen, Like I was more
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: like a runaway from home. I never really, you know,
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: had a stable life, and so I went looking for
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: the wrong things. I went looking for dark things, I
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: went looking for fun. And and now I'm not saying
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: that everything I did was dark and wrong. I'm saying that, like,
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: you know, it was easy to take that one way
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: ticket to LA into the Playboy mansion, where how vulnerable
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: I was, And you know, I also regret, you know, not,
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: you know, fighting at a young age to go to college.
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: You know, like I felt like I always had to
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: fight for my self and my life in certain ways.
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: So like it, you know, it just kind of I
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: took the easy route. I took an easy road out.
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: But you know, like who has the money to go
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: to college? Like I never had the money to go
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: to college. So like, you know, I mean it's easy
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: for people like me to wander and to you know,
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: wander into the gates of a playboy mansion. So that's
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: what I did. I wandered in there at eighteen years old.
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: And you know, now I'm saying that I can honestly
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: look back and say that I was safer at the
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: Playwood Mansion than I was at fifteen years old dealing drugs.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: So in that case, like I was safe. I was
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: in a safe environment. I was healthy, eating salads every day,
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: working out every day, no drugs every day. Like, so
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: I was in a safe environment at the Playwood Mansion.
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: But was I sexualized? Absolutely? Did that cause me problems
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: later in life? Absolutely? So you know, like you know,
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: choices become their consequences for every choice you make.
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: How did that have an impact that environment on a Again,
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: you're a teenager. You hadn't been necessarily exposed to healthy
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: relationships at that point in your life, but it puts
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: you on a certain path. Of course, we'll get into
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: your marriage and divorce in a second, But what did
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: that do to you in shape what you thought a
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: relationship was should be and the type of person even
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: you were interested in.
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Look, I struggle still to this day with my
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: relationships and my my views on sex, and I kind of,
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: you know, I had to go through a lot of therapy,
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: like and you know, they looked at me and they're like,
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: this is the first time I'm admitting this. But they're like,
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: you might have like a little bit of a sex problem,
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: Like you have a little bit of a problem when
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: it comes to thinking of sex.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: What kind of a sex problem, Kendra? What did they
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: What were you referring to specifically?
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: You know, it's just unhealthy thoughts, like just like not
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: really settling for like, you know, a marriage and stuff
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: like that, which is not I wouldn't say unhealthy. I'm
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: saying that, you know, everyone has their choices and some
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: people want to be single, some people want to be
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: married some people and I'm just you know, and I
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: and I'm more of a fun, idea type of person,
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: you know. So, but you know, my marriage, you know,
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: my marriage was at was my happiest days of my
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: entire life. My marriage were I mean, I'm telling you
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: those days were the happiest days of my life. And
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: so when those days came to an end, I crumbled
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: so hard and it almost killed me. It almost killed me. Wow,
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: I can say that I managed to. You know, I
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: left the playwek mansion at age twenty three, got pregnant,
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: got married at the age of twenty three, then started
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: my life as a as a wife and a mother,
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: and it was the golden years of my life. And

  Speaker 4: still solid or even worth fighting for? Listening to you now,
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: it sounds like it's still something there.
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah there. Look, you know, like I'm one person
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: that can kind of you know, we're human, We're human.
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: We all have mistakes, We've all made mistakes, and you know,
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: we just made I think that Hank and I being young,
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: like we just made too many of them. And I
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: think that it was it wasn't repairable at a certain point.
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: So like we just decided to like cheers, like over
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: over a drink and be like, hey, let's call it
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: a day. Let's raise these kids, right, you know, let's
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: not you know, let's not chase like this this fantasy,
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: this fantasy, you know, and who knows, maybe later, you know,
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: I want I want that again. But let me tell
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: you something. I have not found it yet. I have
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: not found that thing again. So it's it's going to
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: be a hard This dating life is brutal, it's gross,
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: it's it's it's hard in it. And I'm not finding
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: I'm not finding a marriage number two just yet.
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: Well, Kendra, I'm just curious.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: And for people who don't know you and your husband, Hank,
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: you divorced in twenty nineteen, but you stood by him
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: after a pretty big cheating scandal and uh, we don't
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: have to get into all of the details, but it
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: was very public and I can only imagine how that
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: must have felt. It must have felt humiliating for both
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: of you, with all the details that came. And it
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: was a he said, she said whatever, But you forgave
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: him for that.
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: They did, you took him back. So it seemed like,
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: my god, you guys got through.
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: That, we did.
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: Why couldn't you get through what was next?
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: What happened next that made it so it was not okay,
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: so that it was intolerable.
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: I honestly, there's a you know, it takes two people
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: to be in a relationship, and when one person has
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: when one person changes their minds on love and marriage,
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: that's how easy it is for it to fall apart.
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: So I will always always want my family back together.
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: I will always want that, so till the day I die,
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: I don't know, like if I have another chance at
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: marriage with that man or not, Like I will always
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: want my kids to have these two parents together. But
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: unfortunately that's a fantasy, you know. So I have to
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: march in the reality of things, and I have to
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: be in this disgusting scum dating.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: Oh, Kendra, Kendra, it sounds it sounds like you're still
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: in love with Hank.
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: I will always be in love with Hank. I will
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: always be in love. And you know, mistakes are mistakes,
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: like we all make mistakes. I've made my mistakes, like
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: you know. And and but love will never go away.
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: And and if it's real love, you're you're gonna put
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: your pride aside and want the best for the other person.
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: And I and I want the best for the other
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: person so badly. I'm you know, I'm willing to be
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: you know, friends with him. I'm willing to like there's
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: no need for bitterness and there's no need for toxicity.
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: So I've through these last six years, I have done
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: so much therapy. I've gone even to the hospital for
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: seven days to just reprogram my thinking, and I did
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: that and it really works. So I'm now living in
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: the state of peace of mind. You know, I'm on
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: good meds. You know, I'm just in a really good
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: place right now. And you know, taking up but taking
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: up this uh, taking up this new venture and real
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: estate has really has really you know, got me to
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: focus in on that and not like so much you know,
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: like the past and you know, regrets and stuff like that.
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: So I'm like so focused on building my real estate
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: career that nothing is like, nothing is entering my my
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: world right now other than friends and fun and good stuff.
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: Kindred at this point, would you consider it almost a
• 14:27
  Speaker 4: setback to all the work you've done. If Hank approached
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: you sincerely and said, I want to talk about us
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: being together again. It sounds like certainly you haven't closed
• 14:36
  Speaker 4: the door necessarily completely your mind. But would that be
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: a bad thing for you to have to go back
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: to and start thinking about again.
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: I think that we would both have to be healed properly,
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: And I don't know that other person's healing. I'm not
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: that person, So you know, I think it just has
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: to do with like timing and heal, like healing and
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: and the wanting to be in a relationship, and some
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: people don't want to be if it's not with my
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: ex husband Hank, Like, I wouldn't want to. I don't.
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: I don't find it fun to want to settle for someone.
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: I don't find it. I'm kind of in a fun
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: zone right now. I'm about to sturt party in June,
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: so I have like fun ideas more than just like
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: settling for. Like there's like a couple guys in my
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: life and I'm like that one just send me flowers,
• 15:31

• 15:33
  Speaker 3: What is you know? Like I like, what what did
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: I do? Like, Like what what does he want? Like
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: I overthink everything, you know, And I'm just like I'm
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: not the type to probably settle down just yet with anybody. Now.
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: If my ex came to me and be like, let's
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: let's like have a family again, I'm.
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: Like, yeah. But other than that, it's going to have
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: to be Prince Darmans is He's gonna have to be
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: pretty wonderful too to catch you.
• 16:01

  Speaker 1: You're working out, You're proud of what you look like
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: as you near forty, and you know what you do
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: look amazing. But you talked about in your Instagram post haters,
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: you're actually getting hate out there for being you and
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: being your amazing self.
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: It's just it's just so weird. You know. I feel
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: like I think I you know, I started Reality TV
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: and Playboy eighteen nineteen years old, and that's when the
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: peak of my fame was, you know, right around there.
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: So I think that people hold on to this this
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: image of me and I you know, I'm not saying everyone.
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: I'm saying certain people hold on to this image like oh,
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: you should always be this Playboy girl or whatever. But reality,
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: you know, the reality burst and bubble Popps a long
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: time ago. I'm a forty year old woman. You know,
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: I have love handles now, I have a bush like
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: you know, like it's it's it's it's not playboy anymore, Okay,
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: And it's it's not it's not cute, but it's you know,
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: it's going to be for the right man.
• 18:26
  Speaker 5: Is that going to help your dating prospects? And put
• 18:28
  Speaker 5: that out there? They come on, we're trying to help,
• 18:31
  Speaker 5: I know.
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: But that guy's gonna have to accept all of you know,
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: I love that though we're really getting older and that
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: and whoever is going to be with me is going
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: to love all of me for forever, like, not just
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: a part of me for a temporary so you know that.
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: So that person has to buckle up and ride that
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: rodeo all the way because it's it's not cute, it's
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: not playboy, it's it's nasty, as you know, can be
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: a lot of the times. I'm kind of a mess kender.
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: Is that empowering though?
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: Because I imagine being someone and we both you said it
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: to You were sexualized, you were coveted, you were drop
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: dead and you still are. But obviously at eighteen, it's
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: you can't ever be that again, this drop dead, gorgeous
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: playboy model.
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: A lot of.
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: Women in your position would create, and understandably so, all
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: their value in how they look. And then when you
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: start aging, it starts unraveling. How have you managed that?
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: Where that was the thing?
• 19:30
  Speaker 6: You know, people are like, Oh, she's so gorgeous, she's
• 19:33
  Speaker 6: a playboy model, she's perfect. How do you handle that
• 19:37
  Speaker 6: when now you are forty and dating again and there's
• 19:41
  Speaker 6: this image of you out there and maybe you even
• 19:44
  Speaker 6: hold it or at one point held it within yourself.
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: How do you manage that?
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, look, I just take I'm one personally, this is
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: my journey. I'm on. I'm not. This isn't to preach
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: to anyone or to like everyone can live under their
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: own standards or their own lives. But for me, personally,
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: I'm on this road of just like like, even though
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: my boots are fake and I got a tummy tuck
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: one and I have a little botox in my face, Like,
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: I want to live in a pretty authentic life. So
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: like you know, and and with age, you know, I'm
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: all about law of attraction and stuff like that. So
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: I don't I don't feel like you know how Pam
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: Anderson is going makeup free and everything like that. I'm
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: this very similar. I have a very similar outlook on
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: life at the moment. So I've been sexualized for so much,
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: just like she was, you know, and we went through
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: similar things, and I'm kind of over chasing this fake thing.
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: I'm over I'm over chasing this thing. So in the meantime, like,
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: will I get boat talks again? Absolutely? You know, will
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: I work out, will I diet? Absolutely? But you know,
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: I'm just going to ride through life the way it's
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: supposed to go. And you know, if if a guy
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: doesn't like me because oh I just went on this date,

  Speaker 3: build be in a relationship. It's the longest bar fetched
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: thing I could possibly feel at the moment, like I
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: I hope it comes. I I think I have, Like
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: I'm in a bachelorette type of vibe right now. Like
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: I'm about to turn forty. I have a fortieth birthday
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: to celebrate in Vegas. So it's like a marriage. So
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: think of it like the marriage thing, Like I have
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: a couple of things I need to do before I
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: get married again.
• 27:07
  Speaker 4: Could you don't get married in Vegas on the fortieth Okay,
• 27:10
  Speaker 4: please don't get married in Vegas.
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: If I do, it'll be with like three guys, just
• 27:16
  Speaker 3: like half like I reverse it. I'd be like with
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: three different guys.
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, it's so interesting.
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: Having had that experience with Hugh Hefner, then you obviously
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: had an amazing experience being married. But would you just
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: having had that experience now polygamy, polyamorous behaviors is so accepted,
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: I mean, would you consider an I would say, a
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: non traditional relationship because you've already had one at a time,
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: Maybe when it wasn't as accepted, but now it's so
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: much more.
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: Do you would that.
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: Even be in the realm of possibilities?
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, definitely. I I know that sounds like freakish and taboo,
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: but I probably would. I'd probably explore that a little bit.
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: I probably want to. Who knows if it'll happen. Who
• 28:12
  Speaker 3: knows the reality, you know, who knows that that will
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: happen or not? But like, I'm open to that. I
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: think it would be kind of fun. You know, the
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: best of the best taught me how to do it.
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: You have to have taught me what it's like the
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: OG the o G. I I only had the best
• 28:30
  Speaker 3: the OG like influencer on you know. So yeah, I
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: mean maybe I do want to get married again, though
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: I do. I do, so I just have to clean
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: up a little bit and get ready for all, like
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: start manifesting that.
• 28:45
  Speaker 4: Okay, you're you're open to it and you're not seeking
• 28:47
  Speaker 4: it out now if I heard you're right, but you're
• 28:49
  Speaker 4: still you will remain open to it. I think it's fair.
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: Well, you know, you know what happened. So like the
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: other day, I'm with this guy and the guy who
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: sent me flowers and he he talks a lot about
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: being with other women, and I'm like, and it doesn't
• 29:03
  Speaker 3: bother me. I think it's with age or something. I
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: kind of like, I don't really care. I'm just kind
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: of like, Wow, I don't have that jealousy thing anymore.
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: I used to have a jealousy thing when I was younger,
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: when I was in my twenties. I was married in
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: my twenties, and I used to be all crazy like,
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: don't what girl you're looking at? Are you looking at
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: that girl? Why are you looking at that girl? Why you?
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: And now now and now I don't have I don't
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: feel jealous anymore. Like I it's like if a guy
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: wants another girl, like, so be it. That's not my family.
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: I'll just go my own way or something. But all
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: but I'm this one particular guy was talking a lot
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: about being with another He even showed me other women,
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: and I'm just like, oh, that's cool, like the guy
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: who sent me flowers, and I'm like, oh, I would
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: still be with him. You know, I would still be
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: with him. So I don't know if an open marriage is.
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: I don't know if I would do that, but you know,
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: it feels like I would do it just because, like,
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: I don't want to feel that toxicity ever again in
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: my life. I never want to feel jealous or toxic
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: or feel those weird jealousy feelings anyway. It's like the
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: worst that to me is probably the worst feeling ever.
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's it. It's a feeling of insecurity.
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: But if you're confident enough in who you are and
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: you know what you want and you know what you
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: don't want, I'm curious.
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: You've shared so much of your life on reality TV.
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: Would you ever go on a reality dating show to
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: find love?
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: You know what? Guess what happened? So what, I created
• 30:37
  Speaker 3: my own dating show. I created it and it was
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: called Kendra's Funhouse, and it was gonna be me in
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: a house with a bunch of guys. I came up
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: with it one day when I was drunk, and I
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: was like, this is like the best idea ever. Ooh
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: toget with all these hot guys like them be castid
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: and like I get all, like I just saw myself

  Speaker 3: they and it actually it was about to get picked up,

• 31:26
  Speaker 3: Christian school.
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: Okay, okay, that makes sense.

  Speaker 1: But like you know, in three years, it'll be eighteen
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: and it won't matter anymore.
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: Okay, okay, maybe I should Maybe I should pitch that again.

  Speaker 4: all and go, wow, I would be on that one
• 31:49
  Speaker 4: or I could be good on that one, anything like that.
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: No, that's why I I've always created my own shows
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: because I don't watch any TV, and I just all
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: I know is how to entertain myself with my solf
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: of about my life. Like I'm in my own category
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: of like life. So that's what I would That's I

• 32:23
  Speaker 1: You've always been in a relationship, always been in a relationship.
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: That's so fascinating.
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: We have to make it happen.
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: Okay, let's it starts here. It began here, it was
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: announced here.
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: I'm Kendra.
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: We just talked actually when we were in La where
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: you were are right now. We talked with I don't
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: know if you know who Britney Cartwright is from vander
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: Pump Rules.
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: She's got the Valley.
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: Now she's in the midst of a very public divorce
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: and she was going through it still and you could
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: tell the emotion was raw and real. I mean, she
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: she's still going through the divorce. Would you have any
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: advice for her? Having gone through a public scandal, is divorced,
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: where everyone's writing everything.
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: You say, every you know, what would you what advice
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: would you give Brittany?
• 33:05
  Speaker 3: Oh, take a break from the media, like you know,
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: it's take a major step back and and really focus
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: in on yourself right now, because you know it could
• 33:17
  Speaker 3: get super ugly, It can get messy. The more you
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: give to the media and the and the limelight, the
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: more you're going to get back. And sometimes it's not
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: good with what comes back to you. And so it's just,
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: you know, handle as much as you can in private,
• 33:34
  Speaker 3: you know, as much as possible. I know, she has
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: a job to entertain, she has a job, she gets
• 33:39
  Speaker 3: paid to put her life out there. But do the
• 33:43
  Speaker 3: best you can with handling you know, the situation in private.
• 33:48
  Speaker 3: You know, I think their kids or kid is getting older,
• 33:52
  Speaker 3: you know, to clean, you know, just and be as
• 33:56
  Speaker 3: giving as possible, even though it hurts, and even though
• 34:00
  Speaker 3: like that person hurt you like, do as much as
• 34:03
  Speaker 3: you can to like you know, you know, just know
• 34:08
  Speaker 3: that you're going to be stuck with this person for
• 34:09
  Speaker 3: the rest of your life. And do the best you
• 34:11
  Speaker 3: can with you know, diffusing, diffusing the situation, diffusing any
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: negative toxicity.
• 34:19
  Speaker 4: That's a This is really Candri. This is one of
• 34:22
  Speaker 4: the reason that I have certainly I think I speak
• 34:24
  Speaker 4: for robes here love doing I do Part two this podcast.
• 34:28
  Speaker 4: It has surprised us. I think at every turn to
• 34:30
  Speaker 4: talk to people, when you there's something everybody thinks about
• 34:33
  Speaker 4: you when they hear your name. I just heard you
• 34:36
  Speaker 4: give an answer that you probably cannot imagine an eighteen
• 34:39
  Speaker 4: nineteen year old Kindra living in that house giving in
• 34:43
  Speaker 4: terms of advice of get out of the public eye
• 34:47
  Speaker 4: and handle your personal business. That was such good advice
• 34:52
  Speaker 4: in my opinion. But were you the girl in that position,
• 34:56
  Speaker 4: You're giving her the advice that you would have never taken.
• 34:59
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, back in the day.
• 35:01
  Speaker 3: Yes thousand percent, Yes, thousand percent. So there. Like I
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: said earlier, I come with a lot of regrets when
• 35:07
  Speaker 3: it comes to show business and media. So I did
• 35:12
  Speaker 3: handle a lot of my things too publicly and it
• 35:17
  Speaker 3: you know, and I didn't really see it then because
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: I was living in the moment, you know, But later on,
• 35:23
  Speaker 3: later on, years down the line, I look back and
• 35:26
  Speaker 3: I was like, why did I say, Why did I
• 35:28
  Speaker 3: do that? Why? Why did I feel the need to
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: tell the world way too much? You know, And it
• 35:35
  Speaker 3: just it just gets really messy, really fast. And you know,
• 35:39
  Speaker 3: you might you might not feel it at the moment,
• 35:42
  Speaker 3: but later on you will be thinking about it. So
• 35:47
  Speaker 3: I wish I could turn back time and take back
• 35:50
  Speaker 3: a few things, you know, Like I went on you know,
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: after you know, after Hank and I went through our problems,
• 35:58
  Speaker 3: I went on all these live TV shows and I
• 36:01
  Speaker 3: just gave all these interviews without healing. I never you know,
• 36:05
  Speaker 3: I never went through therapy. Instead I used, you know,
• 36:11
  Speaker 3: the media and entertainment to be my therapy, and that
• 36:18
  Speaker 3: was the wrong way to do it. You know, I
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: let the devil in, I let the darkness in instead
• 36:23
  Speaker 3: of getting the proper support and the proper help and
• 36:26
  Speaker 3: the proper therapy to truly move forward. You know, I
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: just got refueled every time I did an interview, every
• 36:35
  Speaker 3: time I did something, it would trigger me and I
• 36:39
  Speaker 3: would fall back into a depression. I would fall back
• 36:41
  Speaker 3: into a depression. I would fall back into a depression.
• 36:44
  Speaker 3: So you know, like as much as you possibly can't,
• 36:47
  Speaker 3: you just got to diffuse it as soon as possible,
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: so you don't just keep living in the same cycle
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: of of toxicity.
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: Well, Kendra, I have to say to hear where you
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: are now and what you said today was nothing but
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: kindness and love extended towards Hank even you know, towards yourself.
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: I see, and I think everyone listening can hear. Those
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: regrets have now created the person who you are today.
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: So I know, and I hope you feel proud of that,
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: because it's remarkable to see you use that pain and
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: those mistakes. But isn't that what mistakes are for? So
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: we can become better people. So I just I applaud
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: you for sharing as much as you have today, but
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: sharing it with love and with kindness. That was beautiful
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: to hear you talk about your ex husband that way.
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: And it's a lesson for all of us to learn,
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: because you know, everyone on the show has exes, right,
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: and a lot of the folks listening do too. We're
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: racking them up, but yes, it's it's an important thing
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: to remember, especially when children are involved. So I just
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: want to thank you for your openness and just how
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: youautiful your words have been to mean so much.
• 38:02
  Speaker 3: Thanks you, Thank you so much for having me. Yeah,
• 38:04
  Speaker 3: I just think that, you know, it's it's the truth
• 38:07
  Speaker 3: that we're all human beings and we all are suffering
• 38:10
  Speaker 3: our own on our own path in some way, shape
• 38:13
  Speaker 3: or form, and we all deserve you know, I'm not
• 38:16
  Speaker 3: saying we all deserve forgiveness to some degree. We get
• 38:21
  Speaker 3: deserve second, third, sometimes third chances, and I think that's
• 38:25
  Speaker 3: that's how life should go, you know.
• 38:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah, all right, and this is she said.
• 38:34
  Speaker 5: I can't say anybody than she said.
• 38:35
  Speaker 4: It's just been an absolute treat and it's a pleasure
• 38:38
  Speaker 4: to meet you, and we're going to keep our eye out.
• 38:40
  Speaker 5: Reminder.

• 38:44
