Can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em! Kendra Wilkinson has reached a deal with porn distributor Vivid Entertainment that will see the ditzy blonde pocket $100,000 and up to 50% of all profits generated from the sale of her sex tape, tipsters close to the deal told RadarOnline.com Thursday.

The Playboy model has brokered a deal which will see her take home the cut from any sales of Kendra Exposed, an X-rated DVD which will hit shelves early next month after Wilkinson’s unsuccessful legal fight to prevent the footage from becoming public.

Kendra’s co-star in the five-year-old racy tapes is her ex-boyfriend, mixed martial arts fighter Justin Frye — who forked over the humiliating footage of the model mom to Vivid for $100,000. Kendra and Justin, 28, were high school sweethearts and were living together in San Diego, when the model, now 24, separated from him and eventually began romancing Hugh Hefner and moved into the Playboy Mansion, says a Radar tattle.

“Justin had a tripod in his bedroom for the camera and a stripper pole in the apartment. Kendra definitely was not shy about being in these tapes. There are tapes of Kendra in really compromising positions. doing a lot of embarrassing things. It was a bad break-up… as soon as Hef took her, she was gone. But Justin knew what he had. He waited until Kendra’s fame hit a certain level.”

Kendra — who has a 4-month-old son — is reportedly nursing a fractured relationship with hubby Hank Baskett, who had been unaware of Wilkinson’s sex tape.
