Girls Next Door alum Kendra Wilkinson defended her appearance after facing criticism online about her weight. The 39-year-old took to Instagram on Sunday, January 12, to share a full-length photo showing off her physique. “Yes, I’ve gained weight. Yes, I’m aging. Yes, I’m not that girl I was before (Playboy girl) 🤣 but for once in a long time I feel good and mentally healthy,” Wilkinson — a former live-in girlfriend of Playboy founder Hugh Hefner — captioned the post, adding that she feels “pretty balanced” in her life. “For those of you hating on my new weight, 40 yr 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 finally all together.” Wilkinson also addressed comments about her “alcohol intake,” acknowledging that her drinking could “be monitored better” but hinting that she’ll still be taking “shots” to celebrate her 40th birthday this summer.
