One year after Hank Baskett was accused of cheating on Kendra Wilkinson with a transgender woman, he finally decided to come clean about the night that almost cost him his marriage.
"I messed up," Baskett told People in an interview published Wednesday. "I put myself in a bad situation. And everything through me brought pain upon this family."
The shocking news broke in June 2014 about the 32-year-old former NFL star's alleged affair with Ava Sabrina London, a transgender model and YouTube star.

London claims she met Baskett in April after "he contacted me through a video I had posted," she said in an interview with the National Enquirer.
"Hank absolutely knew that I was a transsexual and he told me that I was the only transsexual he's ever been with," she added. "He thought I was beautiful."
Hank flatly denied that he “mutually masturbated” with the surgically-enhanced 25-year-old model, as previously reported. Instead, he claims he was only trying to buy marijuana from her.
"I didn't engage in anything," swore Baskett, who claimed that he had arrived at an address provided via phone from two people smoking pot in a grocery car-park.
When he got there, Hank said he asked to use the restroom and when he emerged, “I saw something I thought I would never see in my life.”
The transgender woman who answered the door was nude and making out with another transgender woman.
When one of them began fondling Baskett through his basketball shorts, he said he 'froze' despite his intimidating, 6-foot-4 frame.

“It was like a bank robbery. You never know when you’ll freeze," he said. I don’t know if it was a couple of seconds or 15 seconds, because all I was saying was get out, get out, get out.”
Kendra was eight months pregnant at the time, she 'went ballistic' and famously flushed her wedding rings down the toilet after the scandal broke.
Today, the 30-year-old reality star no longer believes that her husband’s a cheater. “I don’t say the word ‘cheat.’ I can say he was not loyal to me. I don’t care about the act. I care about how he reacted to it and how I was told by the media what happened. That scarred me.”
