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

    Dude, wtf?!! Do these morons have any idea how harsh pregnancy is on a woman's body? It's hard work!! Many women never look the same. I know I probably won't when I have kids!

    I guess celebrities are held to "higher standards", including just how much weight a pregnant woman is supposed to gain. Once you're a celebrity, you no longer own your own life. How sad it must be!

    Gaining weight after pregnancy is a natural bodily process. If this is how we treat people the celebrities would be scared to have children.

    Shouldn't every woman's child be her first priority? And given the choice, what person would pick hitting the gym over spending time with their newborn? In Hollywood, it seems like everyone expects you to be nothing short of Barbie, even if that means dropping everything to please a bunch of people who choose to judge you. Kudos to Jessica, for realizing there's more important things in life than a size 2.

    70 IS a bit much (norm for her should have been MAYBE 30-ish tops) But we don't know what kind of pregnancy she had. The woman did, however, have GESTATIONAL DIABETES for crying out loud. Why do you think she gained all that weight. Good grief. And that wasn't caused by her weight, either.

    Leave her alone :/ Women have to be attractive when they're young so they can find a mate. Once they've had a baby, the only person who needs to be attracted to them is their partner. Who cares what everyone else thinks? She'll lose the weight sooner or later.

    She looks like an average woman you see everday walking to work. Leave her alone weight isn't everything! I'd rather see a woman like her that has meat on her than a super skinny model who looks anorexic. Yeah she sould eat healthier but I'm sure that not all of us are below a size 8 either. Leave the woman alone

    It's her damn body! let her do whatever she wants. The majority of people do not understand about pregnancy at all if they are gonna vote "no". She can take her time losing the weight, but right now she's got a baby to take care of. Everyone should really mind their own business when it comes to other people's body and worry about themselves.

    She gained 70 pounds while she was pregnant okay. But for people to still call her fat and other out of line names while she is TRYING to lose the weight is so ridiculous.
    It's not like she said she not going to lose the weight and she wants to be unhealthy. For those of you who are still hard her, get the hell over it.

    Why must all people and celebrities more so be absolutely PERFECT all the time? People who say she is too fat are most likely just insecure about themselves. I've never had a baby and I'm pretty sure I'm fatter than her. Does that make me ugly? I don't think so.

    When women are pregnant at least they take care of their weight by themselves or with a doctor and dietetician . I am not talking about be fit after giving birth but weight gain during her pregnancy so its for her baby first if she dont mind for herself . There is no too pressure in my opinion but there is a difference between after pregnancy they can do whatever they want and during pregnancy , thats not for nothing women have to take care . I know so many women who gave birth the last time 10/15 years ago and are fat and are very sad of it when they saw pictures of themselves from before . I'm sure Jessica Simpson used her pregnancy to eat what she wanted to eat , and before to be pregnant she maybe didnt care to be fat and now too but in few years it will be something else .

    Every women has a different reaction to pregnancy. I've seen some who when pregnant and after eat like a bird and still get a lot of extra pounds, and some who eat junk but lose all the weight soon as the baby's out.
