Kendra Wilkinson Breaks Silence on Battling Criticism Over Swimsuit Pics at Almost 40

BBG News

Kendra Wilkinson shared a collection of pinup swimsuit images to Instagram on Tuesday.

39-year-old model, who graced the cover of Playboy, was spotted near a swimming pool, wearing a snug-fitting, deep-neckline royal blue swimsuit that accentuated her well-toned physique.

From San Diego, the woman wore black Chanel shades, a Van Cleef & Arpels necklace, and had subtly glossed lips of a pale hue.

The lady out of San Diego accessorized with black Chanel sunglasses, a Van Cleef & Arpels necklace, and sported pale lipstick.

Despite appearing self-assured with her revealing outfit, her caption revealed that she was cautious about the fan response to those striking images.

‘God, takes me a second to post photos now,’ the Girls Next Door star said with impressive candor.

The lingerie model, turning 40 on June 12, expressed her anticipation for potential criticism and bullying regarding her new look, but announced with pride that she would be sharing it today.

Wilkinson stated, “I’ve faced numerous challenges in life, but I’ve triumphed, making it all the more important for me to appreciate myself and embrace this fresh perspective on living.

As the years roll by, I find myself experiencing a sense of liberation that seems to grow stronger with each passing day. It’s not because I don’t cherish my past experiences or the time spent in that iconic mansion, but rather because, as I mature, I feel a newfound freedom and autonomy that I didn’t fully appreciate when I first left it behind.

Later on, Kendra clarified: “I used to worry a bit more about things that once terrified me due to factors beyond my control. But fear, you’re no longer welcome! Now, it’s liberating to live with less depression.

She concluded with “If you don’t appreciate me or what I do, or if you think I’ve lost my charm, then feel free to leave. Take care.

The feedback was generally favorable, with one admirer remarking that she appeared ‘beautiful,’ while another praised the impressive nature of her residence.

A month ago, the previous occupant of the well-known Playboy mansion openly acknowledged on a sincere post that she had experienced a change in her body shape, which she referred to as weight gain, compared to her modeling years.

Despite the circumstances, the mother of two, who has a 15-year-old son Hank Jr. and a 10-year-old daughter Alijah with her ex-husband Hank Baskett (aged 42), reassured fans that she is feeling well and in a mentally sound state.

Speaking about the subject at hand, she acknowledged, “Indeed, I have put on some pounds recently. It is also true that I am getting older. However, for the first time in a while, I’m feeling great and mentally strong.” She made it clear that although she may not be the same person as before (the one often associated with being a playboy), this new phase of her life brings a sense of well-being.

With great joy, the devoted mother exclaimed, “Children are the center of my world. I feel remarkably well-balanced these days. I’ve been exercising regularly and cooking more often too. Between golfing and working, there’s no need for a housekeeper or nanny.

The message continued, ‘For anyone criticizing my recent weight change or commenting on my 40-year-old appearance, understand that I am content, healthy, and at last finding peace in life. Please give me space and acknowledge that I’ve reached a place where I truly want to be.’

Anticipating potential criticism, she declared, “Feeling fantastic at nearly 40! To those commenting on my drinking habits, I understand your concerns and assure you I’ll pay more attention to it.

She acknowledged, “Indeed, consuming too much alcohol is excessive, but let me tell you something exciting for June… It’s going to be all about shots! I care for you.

In the early 2000s, Kendra was well-known for being one of Hugh Hefner’s romantic partners and featured in a reality show on E! that chronicled their lifestyle at the Playboy Mansion, titled “The Girls Living Nearby.

She was married to her former football star beau Hank from 2009 to 2018.

Currently, Wilkinson is employed in the real estate sector and appeared on a Discovery+ show titled “Kendra Sells Hollywood,” which ran from 2021 to 2023, focusing on his professional experiences in this field.

In November, she shared with the public that she felt a touch of remorse for recording her final show as she hadn’t fully prepared at the time.

She shared that she wasn’t quite herself mentally and hadn’t quite found the readiness for being in front of a camera at that time. She acknowledged that she was still in the process of healing, not completely there yet. Now, however, she feels more ready or prepared.
