Kendra Wilkinson said a client fired her as a real estate agent on July 26, then posted tearful Instagram Stories showing her crying in her car. The 41-year-old said the setback hit hard after she put work into the deal, a blunt reminder that her post-showbiz career is still being judged one client at a time.

“When a client fires you…after all the work you put in,” she wrote, adding, “Ya. I’m struggling today guys.” In another note, she said, “I know that we're living in a world of struggle right now. I know that, but it's hard right now,” before adding, “I feel like I'm doing everything right in my life. I'm raising my kids. I'm putting them first. I'm doing everything good.”
She also said, “I'm a good person,” and said that “finding people to work with me, getting fired, people being rude and mean—it's taking a toll.” That is the business side of a career built on relationships: one canceled deal does not just erase time, it drains confidence and narrows the margin for error on the next listing.
June 2020 license
Wilkinson earned her real estate license in June 2020 and chronicled her early work on Kendra Sells Hollywood, which aired for two seasons between 2021 and 2023 on Discovery+. She said she moved into the field after her 2019 divorce from Hank Baskett to support her family, and she has also said she was tired and lost at that moment in her real estate work.
The tension is simple: she says she is doing everything right for Hank and Alijah, yet the job still leaves her exposed to rejection, rude treatment, and public frustration. That makes the July 26 post more than a bad day; it is a sign that the demands of building a real estate book are colliding with the pressure of doing it in public.

This was not the first time she had said the work felt heavy. On June 6, she wrote, “I don’t know what’s in the air right now but wow,” followed by, “I don’t feel good. I have to smile like everything is ok when it just isn’t,” and “Being a woman sometimes surrounded by men is scary.” She also wrote that it “feels like there’s no room for me a lot of the time even when I do my part of the job. It’s not enough.”
She thanked followers for “the prayers and the well wishes and the thoughts and everything and all the positive messages” before posting, “Today was a rough one, but I put in some eye drops, put on my face, and I'm ready to take on a new day.” That leaves the immediate business question hanging where it belongs: which client fired her and what led to the split.
