Jessica Simpson on People’s OBSESSION with Her Weight (Exclusive)

Jessica Simpson opens up in an interview with ‘Extra’s’ Terri Seymour about taking control of her fashion empire, her marriage to Eric Johnson, and the constant attention to her weight and appearance. Jessica also dishes on her new fall collection and teases a very exciting new project that gets her ‘back into the entertainment business’!

She is a lovely woman, but it’s evident that she is struggling. Hopefully, for the sake of her health and the well being of her family , she eventually gets better.

[@nariko47]

Some of the words are slurred. She may be on a psych med. I hope she has a successful journey. 💜🙏🏼

[@user-bz2tv4nr3s]

It’s not the weight I don’t think people are worried about. It’s the slurring of the words and the way her eyes are sinking in.

[@beez991]

She's always had sucken eyes I saw her perform live back in the newlyweds days and she looks different in person. I think its more pronounced because she's older and has lost 100lbs like 3 times which also ages you. Her body has been through a lot. She also always slurred her speech, but probably more now because of medication

[@heinygoon9453]

I hope that she's doing well and haven't relapsed. I remember her speaking on her addictions and her Ed. Beautiful family. I hope things are really going well.

[@juliehobart8093]

I love her and her brand but my sister had a drug problem so I can recognize it.

[@KayMaria40]

I am not going to say that this is the case with Jessica, abuse of alcohol and drugs can cause cognitive damage and not everyone comes away from addition without residual effects

[@CarolynHoltby]

Wow, Nick bet you regret letting this beautiful woman go. Didn't you miss out letting this lady go. You are absolutely beautiful Jessica xx

[@julieowens3761]

I think Jessica actually asked for the divorce. Nick wanted to work through it. Sad...they were such a cute couple.

She reminds me a lot of myself… Addiction struggles and extreme weight gain and weight loss.

[@marmel4086]

She sounds like she has a mouth full of peanut butter??She is beautiful though

[@ParisfromTexas]

It seems like she’s having a hard time articulating the questions from the interviewer. Something seems off 🤨☹️

[@Deinesness]

It also seems like she is stuck using the same words over and over. There is not much variety when it appears that she is trying to elaborate. I have seizures and that part of my brain along with my speech/vocabulary definitely goes down in response. Not that she has seizures but maybe effects on her left temporal lobe are resulting in the repetition heard

[@tinameyers3064]

Do people not know that women gain weight during pregnancy and sometimes more after? I’m not saying you shouldn’t be healthy but what I am saying is that when you have children, it takes time to get back to your healthy weight. Maybe not for everyone but keep in mind having children is stressful and your body changes after each birth. Why the hell is society so unrealistic about body standards?! It’s like Jessica Simpson gets all the crap when she was heavier set and then now she’s thinner and people still critical of her. Is normal everyday women deal with the same weight transformations sometimes and no one out here hurling insults at a person who’s walking by! Why do people think they can do it to a public figure. To me that’s the same as walking by a stranger on the street and telling them their too fat or skinny, you would never do that!! Why would you do it on social media?!

[@frankiexfantastic]

I feel like coming from being a former alcoholic I think she relapsed to be 100% honest. Imagine having the attention on you all the time then dealing with private life stuff in Public. The pressure. I hope she finds her higher power again and reaches out again. It’s ok if she relapsed. Just don’t drink and keep going. I had no idea she was a alcoholic. Then after being active in addiction I saw me in her. She was drinking to self medicate the anxiety. Just like I did. I just pray for her well being. We can’t do the work of sobriety. She has to want it again.

[@mamahenscatholicteaching]

I just saw her in Dr Oz. Aww it’s nice to see after she was getting bullied because people didn’t like the way she spoke during an ad -it was so weird. She no longer drinks because she realized she couldn’t be there for her kids. A lot of the stars are very narcissistic and into their fame, but at least she believes strongly in God, and is trying They bullied her horribly not only when she was young but still they are bullying her probably because they are envious is my guess But she prays for those bullies and you have to give her a lot of credit for that she relies on her faith She’s a protestant, but at least she loves God and she doesn’t badmouth her ex. She’s not a vengeful person. She tries to learn from things and move on and look at the good things that she received from that person. That is a mature way to move on. And especially because she’s honest about her own shortcomings, she doesn’t blame everybody else.

Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, 10 nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God.”
