Former Playboy star Kendra Wilkinson shared an emotional update after a bad day at work.
The model made a major career change and moved to being a real estate agent, and couldn't hold back the tears.
Kendra, 41, was scouted to be one of Hugh Hefner's famous Playboy Bunnies after she appeared as a 'painted girl' at his 78th birthday party.
At the age of just 18 she moved into the Playboy mansion with the rest of the bunnies, before featuring on the reality TV show The Girls Next Door with Hefner's other girlfriends, including Holly Madison and Bridget Marquardt.

She recently hit out at supposed 'fans' criticised her looks saying she had 'aged poorly'.
Wilkinson lashed out at the hate at the time, saying: "I’m now a realtor and a mom of a 16 and a 11 yr old."
"Watching them grow has been my ultimate happiness over everything else. I’m so beyond grateful for today!"
Unfortunately it seems that happiness didn't last judging by her latest tearful post after she shared a bad day in her real estate job.
She captioned the emotional video: "When a client fires you... after all the work you put in."
Wilkinson shared her feelings and frustration, adding: "Ya, I'm struggling today guys."
She explained: “We’re living in a world of struggle right now – I know that. But it’s just … it’s so hard – it’s so hard to know.
“I feel like I’m doing everything right in my life. I’m raising my kids and putting them first.
“I’m doing everything good – I’m a good person. It’s just such a struggle right now.”
She continued by detailing some of the issues, saying she had been 'fighting people that work with me, getting fired [and] people being rude and mean.'
The star thanked fans for their kind responses to her candid video, as she shared a black and white selfie with the words: "Feels like a new day. Cleaning, donating. Music on. Thanks again, I see all your messages!"
Wilkinson has been sharing her new career path online with fans after she turned away from the world of Playboy and reality tv.
Back in 2020 she passed the California real estate exam, which meant she officially qualified as a real estate agent.
Just last year she shared how glad she was to have made the switch: “I’m so happy I’m evolving into myself and growing who I want to be. Everyday I’m pouring myself into this business.
“I just opened escrow on a property in Venice beach today and it just keeps growing. I’m so proud of myself.”
Hopefully this day was just a blip and her success will continue.
