Back when Wilkinson was only 18 years old, she entered the Playboy Mansion and began a relationship with Hefner, who was 78 at the time.
She eventually moved into the mansion, where she lived alongside Hefner and his other girlfriends, Holly Madison and Bridget Marquardt.
She admitted:Â “Look, I struggle still to this day with my relationships and my views on sex.”
“I had to go through a lot of therapy, and they looked at me and they’re like — this is the first time I’m admitting this, but they’re like, ‘You might have a little bit of a sex problem. You have a little bit of a problem when it comes to thinking of sex.'”
He remarked:Â “Again, you’re a teenager.”
“You hadn’t been necessarily exposed to healthy relationships at that point in your life, but it puts you on a certain path — what did that do to you and how did it shape what you thought a relationship was, should be, and the type of person you were interested in?”
She explained further:Â “Not really settling for a marriage and stuff like that.”
“Which is not, I wouldn’t say unhealthy — I’m saying that everyone has their choices, and some people wanna be single, some people wanna be married … and I’m more of a fun idea type of person.”
In a previous interview with People, she opened up about those difficult times in her life.
She shared:Â “I was trying to fight it on my own. I was trying to cure it on my own and you can’t do that. I was isolating, hiding, blaming myself, blaming the world.”
“A year ago, I was body-shaming. Now, I feel beautiful,” she added. “I’m not wild as in taking my clothes off, partying, drinking tequila wild, but I really faced myself and my demons.”
“I feel like I’m the best mom I can be. I’m giving my kids all I got. I’m giving myself all I got.”
