Kendra Wilkinson is taking aim at internet critics for “hating” on her appearance.
Over the weekend, the former Playboy star addressed her body-shamers in an Instagram post.
“Yes, I’ve gained weight. Yes, im aging. Yes, I’m not that girl i was before (playboy girl) [laughing emoji] but for once in a long time I feel good and mentally healthy,” Wilkinson, 39, said in a Jan. 12 post alongside a mirror selfie and video short clip of herself.
Wilkinson was one of the late Playboy founder Hugh Hefner’s former live-in girlfriends. She moved into the Playboy Mansion when she was just 18 and starred in E! cable network’s “Girls Next Door,” which premiered in 2005 and chronicled the lives of the women who lived with Hefner.
The mom of two, who shares children Hank IV and Alijah with ex-husband Hank Baskett, then detailed what’s been occupying her time nowadays.
“Kids are my everything. Feeling pretty balanced. Working out and cooking a lot more. Golf, work. No housekeeper or nanny,” she wrote.
Wilkinson urged her haters to “leave me alone.”
“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,” she wrote. “Leave me alone and respect that I’m where I actually want to be finally all together.”
The former reality star wrapped up her message by noting that she is working to “monitor” her alcohol consumption.
“Almost 40 is feeling amazing and yes to the people criticizing my alcohol intake…I hear you and that will be monitored better. Drinking too much is definitely drinking too much but you know what’s coming up in JUNE…. Shots,” she added with a laughing emoji, nodding to her upcoming 40th birthday on June 12.
Wilkinson’s 3 million-plus followers hit up her comments section to show support.
“You are gorgeous. Don’t listen to the keyboard warriors,” one person wrote in a message accompanied by heart and kiss face emoji.
Another added, “So proud of you!!! Your weight is not a reflection of health and happiness so own it! Love ya.”
“You always look amazing no matter what !! Ignore the haters!!” someone else said, ending their message with a heart emoji.
