Kendra Wilkinson Defends Jessica Simpson's Baby Weight: Is the Public Too Hard on Her?

The public was pretty tough on Jessica Simpson before her pregnancy, never mind during, when she gained a reported 70 pounds. And now that she's trying to lose the baby weight, people aren't being much nicer ... except for Hugh Hefner's ex Kendra Wilkinson.

"That just breaks my heart," Wilkinson, 27, tells omg! from Yahoo!. "I feel for her. I was in the same boat. People just need to mind their own business. 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. 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."

Well said, Kendra! The star of WE tv's "Kendra on Top" has talked openly about the 60 pounds she gained after giving birth to baby Hank in 2009, and her postpartum depression. "I looked in the mirror and I said, 'I'm fat,'" Wilkinson told ABC News last year.

We're sure Jessica will be in fighting form again in no time ... but in the meantime, do you think people are too hard on her? And is there too much pressure on celebs (and women in general) to stay skinny after having a baby?

    Society puts so much pressure on women to be skinny. For goodness sake she has a newborn. They need all the attention they can get. Let her be she"ll lose the weight on her own time but raising her child is a top priority than being skinny

    There are many reasons why a woman may, legitimately, gain a lot of weight during pregnancy. It's none of anyone's business but the woman.

    She did gain an unhealthy amount of weight but she should not be worried about it right now. After the baby stops breast feeding is a good time to focus on your weight.

    Gaining weight like that isn't from being pregnant alone, it's from eating poorly and not exercising while pregnant (if you were exercising before you can do light exercises). The fetus needs good food being fed to it and good foods don't cause weight gain.

    While I do like Jessica Simpson, a woman should only gain 25-30 pounds while pregnant. Eating fried foods in excess to the point of gaining 70 pounds is careless. You eat for two, yes. However you don't gain that much weight eating fruits and veggies and good protein which is what the baby needs not high fructose corn syrup. Sorry, Jess.

    Truth is by most standards, 70 pounds is a bit heavy, especially because I don't think she is a large size woman. That said,she'll lose it eventually and all the criticizers will have to eat dirt....

    Although I think people should just leave her be about her weight, I do think she gained too much. Gaining 70 pounds is not healthy at all, so I don't think it is all baby weight. I don't think she needs to be skinny or anything, just that she needs to adopt a healthier lifestyle because it can cause many health problems to arise.

    she's been HOT and beautiful and loved for her waistline/looks more often than what she has to say for most of her career and i hope that she doesn't let this cause her too much pain.
    it must be difficult to be under a microscope during every part of your life and i for one wouldn't like it.
    this is a tough time for most women... right after having a child... your body doesn't bounce back as quickly as you'd like it to and if your focus is on the baby and not the gym, it's ok w/ me.. just not Hollywood

    The people who are calling her overweight need to understand the first priority after having a child: taking care of, nuturing, loving, and raising the child. It's not to hit the treadmill. Eventually, I'll bet she'll shed the pounds. She just gave birth to a child; back off.

    I've seen females who've had kids like 3 years ago that are mega bloated and overweight, so it could be worse. Besides, she's trying to lose weight... even though it's for money.............. On second thought, I don't blame her. I'd lose all kinds of weight for like one million plus dollars.

    I would choose an in between or undecided but I will say that it can be a health issue when gaining too much weight during and or after pregnancy. There is such thing.

    "People should just mind their own business" true and that should also be applied to sorry to add a different subject but reproductive rights also.

    Most women gain weight during pregnancy and it takes a varied amount of time to lose the weight depending on hormones, breast feeding and many other factors. Our society needs to lighten up and stop worrying about weight so much. Let women embrace what their body was meant to do. We weren't meant to be sticks. We naturally gain weight during pregnancy because it is good for the baby. It takes time. I will never forget about two weeks after having my first child a friend said, "You know, I don't think you'll ever be same." I looked her thinking...huh??? The weight came off naturally in a few months. I didn't diet because I was nursing and needed to keep my strength up. For decades I was thin. THEN I hit menopause and I gained weight again. Nature is cruel!. I think women just weren't designed to be skinny minies. Yet, society wants us to be emaciated. What is wrong with this picture????

    The majority of people answering "No" are 15 year old girls who don't know they're eventually going to explode into fatties themselves - or guys who are comparing a hormonal, moody, emotional wreck to the only contrast they know which is this:

    You're both clueless. Some women don't gain that much weight, some women do.

    Maybe. I don't know. I didn't say anything about a broader group of people on the other side of the spectrum. People answering yes have ages ranging all over and I never mentioned physical appearance except the inevitable weight gain after the teen years that EVERYONE gets ambushed with. I didn't say they'd keep it on. But most do.
