Sharing a mirror selfie in response to body-shaming comments, she says, "Yes, I’ve gained weight. Yes, I’m aging. Yes, I’m not that girl I was before (Playboy girl) but for once in a long time I feel good and mentally healthy," said Wilkinson, now 39, who was just 18 when she moved into the Playboy Mansion.

She further addressed her critics, stating, “For those of you hating on my new weight, 40 yr old face please know that I’m happy, healthy and at peace in life finally. Leave me alone and respect that I’m where I actually want to be finally all together.”

Wilkinson, who has two children—daughter Alijah Mary Baskett, 10, and son Hank Randall Baskett IV, 15—with her ex-husband Hank Baskett, also spoke about her role as a mother. She shared, “Kids are my everything. Feeling pretty balanced. Working out and cooking a lot more. Golf, work,” and emphasized her hands-on approach to parenting, adding, “No housekeeper or nanny.”
