Former NFL star Hank Baskett finally came clean about his affair to former Playmate, wife Kendra Wilkinson in season three, episode seven of WeTV's "Marriage Bootcamp: Reality Stars."
In the previous episode, Wilkinson made it clear to her husband that she needed to know the truth about his alleged affair with transgender model Ava London while Wilkinson was eight months pregnant with the couple's second child. Baskett realized he had to come forward or risk losing his family, and asked camp counselors Jim and Elizabeth Carroll to sit in while he confessed.
"Am I gonna be strong enough for this?," Wilkinson asked.
With assurance from Jim and Elizabeth, Baskett recanted the story that has been circulating in the tabloids and explained that he didn't intentionally cheat on his wife, but he was taken advantage of and extorted for his money by London. Wilkinson listened to the leaked recording of a phone conversation between London and her husband. After she grilled Baskett, she finally came to her decision.
"I believe you Hank," she told her husband, and Jim and Elizabeth left the couple to pray together in private.
After Hank's confession, the bootcamp continued on with the day's exercises. In the first exercise, each person was given a ring and had to propose to another person in the house that isn't their partner. Reggie Youngblood was the favorite among the women in the house and collected multiple rings.
The second task focused on reflection and each person in the house was required to provide feedback to the others by stating, "I would not want to be your mate because..."
Mike "the Situation" Sorrentino struggled with giving honest feedback and communicating and his girlfriend Lauren Pesce was told that she needs to find her identity in their relationship. Tami Roman is perceived as too bossy and overbearing and her boyfriend, Youngblood, was told that he doesn't demand enough respect. Jeff Schroder isn't in touch with his feelings and girlfriend Jordan Lloyd lacks confidence. But the couple who received the harshest criticism was Aubrey O'Day and her boyfriend, Travis Garland. O'Day was described as over the top, overbearing, controlling and demanding and Garland was told he was too jealous, stubborn, that he doesn't stand on his own and has low self-esteem. He was affected the most by the feedback from his peers and broke down after the exercise.
"I'm in a miserable relationship with a person who hates me," Garland said, crying.
