Kendra Wilkinson On Her Life in the Playboy Mansion

[KillerKistal]

She looks so much more human now. Like her soul came back.

[Jason-eghr]

Ironically she looks so much better now

[airwrecka]

So glad she's revealing it's not all glamorous.

[jonathananaya]

I met her at the mansion years ago. We spoke for hours after she pretended she knew me to escape Michael Irvin’s advances. I knew she didn’t want to be there. I’m glad she’s grown. Good for her.

[danat]

And she was also young. At 52 I’d hate for people to judge me based on what I did in my teens and early twenties.

She got her dignity back, and she looks amazing for it.

[lynndels]

Our childhoods affect us more than is talked about. The healing from it is amazing.

[mjarboesdf]

Aw, Kendra don't beat yourself up. You were literally still just a kid who just turned 18 yrs old. Believe me we all made mistakes as young pple. We all learn and grow from them. You are a wonderful mother who's been through hell and back, give yourself some grace and time to heal hun. ❤

She has the look of wisdom, discovery and softness in her eyes, that comes with discovering your true self.
Shes beautiful 🌹

[mairead]

Her complexion looks amazing! And that shade of blonde suits her so much better!

[charityphipps]

Its called growing up. I love her honesty and emotional maturity.

[LOLOspeaks]

I've always liked her. She's always been transparent, real and relatable. She looks so much wiser now. God bless KW!!

[PILGRIMM]

Wow. She looks and sounds amazing now. What a transformation, she found herself!

[michaelscampini]

She looks great!!! Very naturally pretty.

[TheMerFree]

It is so cool seeing her natural beauty! She is so absolutely lovely! Happy for her, and am impressed with her strength and resilience.

[deanflet]

When you were young, you thought you could rule the world until reality kicked in, and now you are older, wiser, and stronger just being yourself. It's called growing up.

[kimellis]

She’s so beautiful with her natural look. ❤

[alpreston]

Had the pleasure of bumping into her recently.. She definitely is not the same person that was on the TV show.... She was so chill, and all about her kids

[Mizanthrobe]

I'm glad she's being so honest. When I look back at myself when I was younger I feel like a different person completely and I wish I could go back and redo my life with the same mentality and knowledge that I have now.

[jill]

Glad she’s finally getting it, sometimes it takes years to fully realize the impact of traumatic situations/relationships. I would love to see her reunite with Holly and Bridget ✨
