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

The baby weight will come off in time. Her body type is the same as mine, short and curvy, which is why I like the cut of her clothes at Macys. I lost all my baby weight each and every time I gave birth. It just takes a little while.

A stupid, ignorant pig. Oh wait, are we describing Jessica or you?

Glutton, yes, pig, no. She is a pig if she keeps that weight a year after giving birth I would assume.

who cares how fat she is, she is hot.And she could be the fattest woman alive and it still wouldn't be any of your concern.

She's probably getting stressed, leave her be. Sorry she's not beyonce who dropped the weight in no time, atleast we know her priorities are on her child and not on what other people think about her appearance.

Exactly. As soon as Beyonce gave birth the first thing she did was call the Nanny and run off to the gym, ignoring her newborn child in favour of living up to a perfect body image. Jessica seems to be more concerned about caring for her baby, and yet people are praising Beyonce and calling Jessica fat? This is what is wrong with the world.

OR, she breastfeeds and had a healthy pregnancy and dropped the weight quickly due to the combination.

You really think she has time to breastfeed?

reply
JCLadybug to alex 2012/07/16 14:00:47

She says she breastfeeds and that it was why she lost the weight do fast. I have no reason not to believe her.

Unlikely, you can drop some pregnancy weight that way but to have your body ready for her stage costumes? You'd have to be constantly at the gym.

Every person I know, myself included, lost the pregnancy weight and then some fast b/c of breastfeeding (on the first child). I was below my starting weight at 2 weeks. The only thing needed to tone is a couple weeks in the gym, and honestly, that is a good idea for mothers (I'm talking less than 1 hr, 20 min would easily do this). Also, I and many others that experience this do not easily lose weight. She breastfeeds which is time intensive, I believe for the most part that is where most of the weight loss came from.

I agree. Her first priority right now is her child, NOT her. Gosh people. Ugh.

Jessica Simpson can never win, regardless of her weight. Add to the fact that she's not a tall person (I think she's 5'2" give or take, maybe?), and not to mention she's always been top-heavy, she's not going to look like Halle Berry, Jessica Alba, Jessica Biel, etc. If she loses the weight, she'll be called "too skinny" again, if she doesn't, she'll be ridiculed for looking like the average woman that just had a baby. She can't win.
