Kendra Wilkinson Picks Cotton, Gets Accused of Racism
Kendra Wilkinson is the outspoken star of We TV’s Kendra on Top.
We say outspoken because, well, she has no filter. Whether she’s posting a sultry selfie on social media, or just appearing on her reality TV show, she’s always stirring up some sort of controversy.
We’re not even sure she knows she’s doing it, and that’s likely why she’s such a draw with viewers.
The 32-year-old was on a road trip with her husband, Hank Bassett, and thought it would be fun to stop by a cotton field in Texas because “she always wanted to pick cotton.”
Have a look at the picture in question below. It shows Wilkinson posing with some cotton and a whole field of cotton behind her.
People took offense to the post and immediately started slamming the star in the comments section of the snap.
“Racist piece of s–t,” one user wrote. Added another: “People are upset because you are joking about history that you are just simply ignorant about. Some things just keep to yourself.”
While some chose to go on the offensive, the star’s legion of fans also came to her defense.
“Been watching Kendra from day one, she’s a free spirit,” one fan commented. “You are just combing through social media praying for anything to pound on and rip it to shreds… Hello her husband and children are part black.”
“Don’t give the haters the benefit of explaining what ur doing like picking cotton,” said another.
One final fan wanted the haters to disappear: “Keep your head up. Ignore the ignorance. I have always liked you and your real fans know you are not a racist and you love everyone equally. Live! Laugh! Love!”
The hatred did not go unnoticed by Kendra who returned to social media to clap back at the people assassinating her character.
“Lol. I just wanted to pick cotton from a plant cuz I’ve always wondered how it really felt. Never in my life thought of color or race at the time,” she wrote on Wednesday.
“I was trespassing n ran up to grab some cotton. I am not racist. Was just having fun n wanted to feel n wondered how it felt. Hahahahah. I can’t believe I’m getting accused of being racist when I’m sitting here with my black father in law rt now baffled at the accusations.
“F–k off to anyone who don’t know me n know what I’m about. Just cuz I picked some f–king cotton. It’s a f–king plant. Omg I can’t.”
Like we said, Kendra is not afraid to hit back at people throwing shade her way. The star was very likely on the trip why she recovered from a mysterious hospital visit. And, no, it had nothing to do with handjobs this time around … we hope.
The star has been acting in Sex Tips for Straight Women From a Gay Man, and disaster struck when some of the shows had to be canceled after she found herself in hospital.
“Super sick. Going to have to cancel the late show tonight. My heart couldn’t cancel both. Sorry late show,” she said at the time.
“Sooooo sorry guys gotta cancel both shows tonight. Going to ER. Hurtin bad. I’ll make it up to you.”
What do you think about all of this?!
Sound off below.

Johnny Depp on Going Broke: I"ll Buy 15,000 Cotton Balls If I Want To!
Back in February, we reported that Johnny Depp is going broke after spending his money on what we then described as weird-ass sh-t.
In addition to the usual rich guy splurging (Sources say Depp spent $ 30,000 a month on wine.), there were some truly bizarre expenditures, such as a $ 3 million ash cannon to shoot the remains of his friend Hunter S. Thompson into the atmosphere.
Rather than denying that he went a little crazy with his cash, however, Depp is now defending his right to blow a fortune on whatever gonzo luxuries he wants:
The speculation of where Depp’s money went began when he sued his management group, TMG, for allegedly mishandling his sizable nest egg.
TMG countersued, claiming that “Depp lived an ultra-extravagant lifestyle that often knowingly cost [him] in excess of $ 2 million per month.”
The firm’s cross complaint argues:
“Depp, and Depp alone, is fully responsible for any financial turmoil he finds himself in today.”
In a new interview with The Wall St. Journal, Depp doesn’t claim that he never lived an overly-posh lifestyle, but instead argues that it was his right to do so, and his management group’s job to warn him before he went too far:
“It’s my money,” Depp said. “If I want to buy 15,000 cotton balls a day, it’s my thing.”
He went on to say:
“Why didn’t they drop me as a client if I was so out of control? I’ve worked very, very hard for a lot of years and trusted a lot of people, some who’ve clearly let me down.”
Depp says that in some areas, TMG lied to make his spending seem more lavish than it was, but in a hilariously candid quip, he says they actually underestimated his spending in one case.
The cannon used to propel Thompson’s ashes into the night sky over the writer’s famous Woody Creek, Colorado ranch actually cost $ 5 million, not three.
Depp has been unabashedly frank about his foibles throughout his career, and from a PR standpoint, the ball is now in TMG’s court.
The firm finds itself in the unenviable position of facing off against a film icon who’s soon to resume his most famous role.
The past year has been rough on Depp, but he still has a spot in the hearts of millions of devoted fans.

Cotton Candy Girl Goes Viral, Gets Robbed of Baseball Game Honor
The Seattle Mariners defeated the Texas Rangers by a score of 8-3 on Wednesday night.
But whatever. Who cares?
We’re not here to update readers on the race for the American League Wild Card.
But we are here to talk about the cutest little girl on the entire Internet.
For today, at least, anyway.
She goes by the moniker Cotton Candy Girl and it’s pretty obvious why:
After cameras at the game panned the crowd last night, they stopped and settled on this adorable infant, who had just eaten some cotton candy and who was pretty fired up about it.
See for yourself:
We’re going to need more cotton candy. pic.twitter.com/SNpjgZSGlA

The girl has not yet been publicly identified, but proud father Jake Hart shared the above footage on Twitter.
A family friend at the game, John McCallum, then posted the image posted at the very top of this article.
After the game, meanwhile, the team asked fans to name the “Player of the Game,” but cautioned that Cotton Candy Girl was not eligible for this distinction.
This declaration did not sit well with Seattle Mariners fans on Twitter.
First, there was defiance:
Then, there was the threat of a revolt:
Then, there was an attempt to compromise:
Eventually, the team sort of game in, sharing a Photoshopped image of Cotton Candy Girl wearing the “Swelmet,” which is helmet worn by the player of the game after each victory.
The actual player of the game was Adam Lind, who hit a pair of home runs.
But whatever. He isn’t this cute.
