Kendra Wilkinson says she moved into the Playboy Mansion at 18 and had sex for money with Hugh Hefner. She has said he paid her $1,000 a week, and an ex later sold a sex tape of her for a reported $100,000. Her other option, she says, was stripping in San Diego. In the video below, she explains why she still says she has no regret. "I had to survive." She was a runaway with problematic parents and no college. Then the phone rang: "Hi, this is Hugh Hefner. Would you like to move into the Playboy Mansion and be one of my girlfriends?" A photographer had sent in her picture without telling her. She calls the arrangement what it was. All the girlfriends slept with him once a week. "It definitely felt like a transaction, but I was willing to take it." In return: room service 24/7 and five years she calls amazing. It looked like a fairy tale. She met her husband at the mansion, had kids, got her own show. "We're getting all this money." A lavish life in Calabasas. Then the marriage ended, and it took her "down to my knees." Two years ago she had a psychotic breakdown. She thought she could still hear paparazzi cameras. She ended up in the hospital. Now she sells houses for a living. "I'm not rich anymore." Did she make the smart choice at 18, or did it cost her more than it ever paid?
