Kendra Called Least Intelligent AGAIN.
June 7, 2007
Playboy boss Hugh Hefner may land in the doghouse with one of his girlfriends Kendra Wilkinson, for praising an article that had negative comments about her, instead of slamming it as promised.
Elle magazine writer Daphne Merkin had written a piece about Hefner and his three girlfriends’ E! reality show, “The Girls Next Door” in which she had described Wilkinson as “giving off a palpable air of anxiety.”
Merkin based this on Wilkinson telling her that she feeling “insecure” about her face.
“I’m very insecure right now about my face. I get scared with Hef looking at me at the mansion and maybe thinking I’m ugly,” the New York Post quoted Wilkinson, as telling Merkin.
When the Playboy bunny read the article she was furious, and said so when she appeared with Hefner on the ‘Larry King Live’ show.
“A magazine article that just came out . . . it hurt my feelings and it really, like, crushed my heart. And Hef being such a great guy, he said, ‘You know what, Kendra? I was going to write them a letter and say, like, how this is wrong.’ [The article] wasn’t really nice . . . People like to pick on me,” Wilkinson told King.
However, instead of sticking to his promise and slamming Merkin for the write up, Hefner ended up praising her in a letter he wrote to her.
“I just finished reading your article . . . and think it’s the best, most perceptive piece on the show to date . . . I hope you get a chance to do a longer story for the New York Times or The New Yorker,” Hefner wrote in the letter.
