Kendra Wilkinson has taken a strong stand against body shamers in a recent Instagram post, addressing the criticism she’s faced about her weight and aging. In a candid mirror selfie shared on January 12, she wrote, “Yes, I’ve gained weight. Yes, I’m aging. Yes, I’m not that girl I was before (Playboy girl).” However, she confidently stated that she feels “good and mentally healthy” for the first time in a long time, embracing the changes in her life.
Wilkinson, who became famous through The Girls Next Door and her time at the Playboy Mansion, reflected on her journey and how much she’s evolved since those days. She emphasized how her current life—focused on real estate and her show Kendra Sells Hollywood—brings her peace and fulfillment. She also expressed pride in her role as a hands-on mom to her two children, Hank and Alijah, noting that she manages her household without help from a housekeeper or nanny.
In her post, Wilkinson firmly told critics, “For those of you hating on my new weight, 40-year-old face, please know that I’m happy, healthy, and at peace in life finally. Leave me alone and respect that I’m where I actually want to be.”
Her openness resonated with fans and celebrities alike, with singer Meghan Trainor commenting, “I thought you were beautiful inside and out then, and I still do now,” and podcast host Bunnie XO adding, “Anyone that’s remotely successful in their life doesn’t have time to tear another person down.”
