Kendra Wilkinson shared a collection of pinup swimsuit images to Instagram on Tuesday.
The 39-year-old Playboy cover girl was seen in a low-cut royal blue one-piece swimsuit that highlighted her toned figure when by a swimming pool.
The siren from San Diego also had on black Chanel sunglasses, a Van Cleef & Arpels necklace and pale lip gloss.
Though she looked confident flashing the flesh in her suit, her caption let fans know she was wary of the fan reaction to the stunning snapshots.
‘God, takes me a second to post photos now,’ the Girls Next Door star said with impressive candor.
‘Wondering how much hate and bullying I’ll get for my new body and age but I’m going to post this today and feel proud of myself,’ shared the lingerie model who will turn 40-years-old on June 12.

Wilkinson added, ‘I have overcome so much in life and deserve to celebrate myself and my new attitude towards life.
‘Playboy days are long gone and it feels more and more liberating for some reason. Not because I don’t appreciate my time there but because now i feel older and more free more than I did when I left the mansion.’
Kendra then explained: ‘Not as much f***s to give when before I was a little more scared of things. Fearing things I couldn’t control. Fear can kiss my ass now!! It feels good to finally LIVE with less depression.’
She ended with ‘If people don’t like me or this or think I’m bigger or i can’t turn men on anymore GOOD then there’s the door. Love ya.’
The comments were positive with one follower saying she looked ‘gorgeous’ and another commenting on her incredible home.
This comes one month after the former tenant of the famed Playboy mansion admitted she had ‘gained weight’ in a candid post, acknowledging that her figure had changed since her modeling days.

Even then, the mother-of-two — who shares 15-year-old son Hank Jr. and 10-year-old daughter Alijah with ex-husband Hank Baskett, 42 — told fans she feels good and is ‘mentally healthy.’
Addressing the topic she wrote, ‘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.’
The proud mom gushed, ‘Kids are my everything. Feeling pretty balanced. Working out and cooking a lot more. Golf, work. No housekeeper or nanny.’
The note went on, ‘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.’
Getting ahead of the critics, she said, ‘Almost 40 is feeling amazing and yes, to the people criticizing my alcohol intake…I hear you and that will be monitored better.’
She admitted, ‘Drinking too much is definitely drinking too much but you know what’s coming up in JUNE…. Shots. Love ya.’
