Kendra Wilkinson broke down in tears on Wednesday, Nov. 26’s I’m A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here as she opened up to her jungle campmates about husband Hank Baskett‘s depression.
During a campfire gathering, Wilkinson and her other British celebrity pals started talking about regrets they had in their lives. For the 29-year-old reality TV star, there was only one — ignoring Baskett’s depression.
“The only thing I can really say is not paying attention to severe depression with my husband,” Wilkinson said before putting her face in her hands. “I wish to God I…” she started, before collapsing into tears.
“There’s such a thing as depression you know, even if you’re a big guy, it’s real,” she continued. “You have to hear people’s cries. Because I didn’t. He came to bed so many times crying and he needed me you know, and I wasn’t there for him.”
Wilkinson’s emotional outburst comes hot on the heels of former NFL star Baskett’s admission to Us Weekly that the end on of his football career sent him into a downward spiral of depression.
“For the past two years, I’ve gone through a serious struggle with depression, and during that time I lost the ability to open up to my best friend, Kendra,” Hank told Us.
Wilkinson, who will spend the Thanksgiving holidays eating little more than rice and beans in the Australian jungle, explained that she’s decided to put her husband’s infidelities behind her and move forward with their marriage.
“All I can say is I believe Hank. I love Hank. And he’s proven to me that he’s worth forgiving and fighting for,” she told Us. “He was at the wrong place at the wrong time, and unfortunate things took place. He’s very gullible and naive,” she said.
