Kendra Wilkinson Defends New Mom Jessica Simpson, ‘Her First Priority Is Not Losing The Weight’

Kendra Wilkinson is "broken hearted" over Jessica Simpson’s post-baby weight backlash.
The former Girl Next Door is sounding off over the recent attention that has been focused on the new mom’s body after giving birth to Maxwell Drew Johnson, revealing that she too, struggled to lose the baby weight – and RadarOnline.com has the details.
"That just breaks my heart," Wilkinson told Yahoo! OMG. "I feel for her. I was in the same boat. People just need to mind their own business.”
Kendra, who battled postpartum depression after giving birth to Hank Baskett IV in 2009, admires Jessica, who is reportedly getting paid a whopping $3 million by Weight Watchers to drop her pregnancy weight, for focusing on being a mom instead of immediately becoming obsessed with slimming down.
“That's a woman who just gave birth. Her first priority right now is her child. Her first priority is not losing the weight. You should be proud of her for that," she said. "A lot of people just dump their kids off at nannies and lose the weight overnight. We should all be proud of her for being real and taking control and making priorities."
