Kendra Wilkinson and her mother Patti had a huge falling out earlier this year, after the former Playboy Bunny reportedly started acting like a diva around her family. They reconciled when the Hank Baskett cheating scandal broke, but if Patti’s Twitter is any indication, they’re no longer on good terms.

Even more, it seems that not even Patti is convinced that the cheating that started the scandal ever happened.

Allow us to fill you in: a transgender model named Ava London went to the press a few weeks ago to claim that she and Hank had an affair of sorts some weeks back, when Kendra was pregnant with her second child.

In several interviews, she detailed the tryst and claimed that Hank had promised to provide for her financially, if she agreed to have a full-blown affair with him. This never came to be because news of the clandestine relationship leaked in the press and Hank panicked and tried to offer even more money to London to never talk about it.

Kendra too found out about the cheating and, heartbroken and furious, she reportedly flushed her wedding band and engagement ring down the toilet. But the best part is yet to come: whilst neither has said a peep about the scandal, they’re shooting the new season of their reality show, Kendra on Top, around it.

Some time ago, there was a lot of talk of how Kendra, Hank, and Ava put the “scandal” together piece by piece, in a bid to boost ratings for the reality show, following the same “recipe” used earlier this year by Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott, with the added ingredient of actually having a third-party to step forward to make these outrageous claims.

So now not even Kendra’s mother believes this ever happened, and she said so on Twitter, when one of her followers asked her if the scandal was fake.

Patti doesn’t explain why things are bad between her and Kendra again, but she makes it clear that some bridges have been burned for good.

“Well I continue to be hurt & disrespected by my daughter. So please don't mention her or ask me anything about her. Thanks!” she says. Still, she did answer questions on the topic, and even told one of her followers not to believe anything they read online about the “rough time” Kendra is having right now.

The fact that Kendra’s own mother is going public with her suspicions about the veracity of the cheating scandal means that either the two are done for now, or that she’s been brought on board the scheme, saying controversial things to get even more interest in the new season of the show.

After all, this wouldn’t be the first time a family member stirs up trouble online or in the press, with the purpose of creating even more confusion and getting fans to want to tune in for the show in the hope of getting some answers.
