Jessica Simpson's Memoir: 6 SHOCKING Things We Learned

The singer's tell-all memoir, 'Open Book,' is chock full of bombshell revelations. 'Open Book' is out now, and you can tune into ET on TV on Tuesday for our exclusive chat with the superstar.

[@Nickstrtube]

I hope one day, Britney gets to be honest about her life and write a tell-all book. It’d be an international bestseller.

[@TheCMnews]

She would end the gays if she released a memoir tell-all.

[@nylotus]

She was in her documentary. You should watch it.

[@Nickstrtube]

@@nylotus I've watched it several times. conservatorship-free is what I'm really interested in.

[@lamarcorlis2081]

It would never happen Britney is fully controlled and strictly monitored and on meds.....her conservatorship stops her from spending her own money she has to ask permission to buy things its really sad and unfortunate she's a mother of 2 in her 30's set her free

[@m.baysdan9159]

Not hating but just wondering wasn't Britney diagnosed as bipolar??

[@Amanda-sh8uv]

John Mayer seems like a classic narcissistic.

[@naavajo]

I agree

[@CatherineSTodd]

I think Mayer has even admitted to this.

[@deerheart87]

He's sooo unattractive

[@meetvirginia7023]

He’s one that said something about how sexual she was. Not cool to talk about somebody intimately.

[@friedaclaxton5950]

He needs a dark circle treatment.

[@eangeleyesr6678]

Just happy to see her in interviews and doing reasonably well again. And wishing her and her family all the best. 🙌🏻

[@benicio1967]

There’s is something special about Jess that I find so genuinely likable. I always wNt so much to see her happy and in a good place.

[@christinainthecity]

I love how real she is. She's always been herself and I've always been a fan of her

[@LTilli313]

Same, she's so real and I don't feel like it's a persona like so many stars of today. For some reason even the big stars now that try to act like they are real and vulnerable, but it still feels like a persona to me, but not with Jess.

[@ginolivigni3341]

I’m so glad she’s so honest with herself. It’s so refreshing, so many of you are judging her... but she was so young whenever she married Nick, her mind wasn’t fully matured and she probably didn’t venture out much before settling down with the man she “thought” she wanted to be with for the rest of her life... that’s where her secretive relationship with Johnny came from, we are all young and dumb. She takes full responsibility of everything and I love it... However, I’m happy Rachael was the choice for The Notebook, I couldn’t see any other female playing that character the way she did. Britney also auditioned for that part, I’m a huge Britney fan... Again, I’m so happy she didn’t get it and Rachael did.

[@thcwhat00]

Yeah Rachel McAdams was the ideal with her and Goslings chemistry. Plus who in their right mind wants a love scene with gosling taken out?!?... I know its no one that should have the role of Allie in the Notebook that’s for sure haha. It wouldn’t have done as well if she would have been in it... it wouldn’t have been no where near the same or as good I think..

[@alannashea6344]

The fact that people are always saying something about her weight is disgusting! She’s curvy and has always been curvy, if she would’ve came out in this era she would’ve been more accepted hopefully.....but back then everyone wanted all girls to be sticks!

[@LTilli313]

I know and it SCARES ME she's gotten so much flack for her weight!! She's always been beautiful at any size and she has an awesome personality, I don't find her fake or anything. And she hasn't changed! I re-watched newlyweds recently and she's the same as she was then and she's a billionaire now!

[@alannashea6344]

L tilli yesss! I agree! She is still the same, she hasn’t changed one bit and that’s hard to find, most people make themselves change to go with the flow and stay in the spotlight but Jessica has always been herself whether you like her or not and I know it got to her with everyone calling her fat all the time when she was in no way fat!!! Poor girl!

[@queenbutterfly4888]

@@LTilli313 yes she's authentic

[@snowqtee]

She’s never ashamed to be herself and I love her for that

[@daniellephongsay8422]

Right! It takes a lot to come out to the world about your pain and failures. Even the pain that people mocked. Good for her

[@valdes1forever]

She should be ashamed. 🤢🤢

[@meganhenry5795]

What? No way. She should not.

[@danielle1103]

I purchased the signed copy of Open Book through Barnes & Noble today!!

[@MySunshine234]

I can’t wait to read it now all I need is for Britney Spears to write a book.

[@TheRayjane]

Jessica stay strong .... you had your trials and tribulations and came through it. God bless your soul. Ignore the haters !

[@astrocada1700]

Yep too many haters, all women, sad. Too bad they didn't get the role, loL.

[@lisaelle1929]

Her eyes too...she looks disconnected....I loved her so much when I was a kid. She was so beautiful and innocent. I hope she stays clean and doesn't give up on herself....

[@julier9458]

I absolutely loved to watch nick an jess .. if she loved nick like she says then she would have never cheated.. so sad really

[@lorenabautista2242]

She still sounds like she's under the influence of something. When they show old interview clips of her, she sounds more lucid and sober. I hope she's ok.

[@ABadHairDay]

It could be benzos used to treat alcohol withdrawal. Years of alcohol abuse can also cause damage to the brain and effect motor skills

[@mgal6234]

No way is she sober. I hope she breaks free...such an awful thing to have, addiction.

[@nancysimmons2225]

Not sure but she sure did talk funny

[@gofightwin99]

It's called Botox and lip injections

[@gofightwin99]

All of you are so wrong. She has had Botox, lip injections and years of substance abuse. Of course she sounds off. You would too.

[@sydneyprescott3374]

Writing love letters while Nick was passed out in bed next to her...😳🥴 I am soooooo buying this book!

[@amilehonstein1671]

I finished reading it last month and it was so good.

[@kristinelamonday988]

This interview concerns me...I really like Jessica and believe that she is an amazing singer (I Wanna Love You Forever live is a masterpiece). However, her speech during this interview immediately makes me think “prescription medication...” I truly hope she’s mentally healthy and wish her all the happiness in the world. 💕🇨🇦

[@NollaGirl504]

I thought the same thing. She's definitely on something, like Xanax or Valium.

[@taunjabrockway6760]

Here we go again.. another Pot Stirrer. Now come rest of the losers comments 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

[@samantarizzi248]

I’m so buying this book! Just ordered it off Amazon 😃

[@tiffanysanchez9184]

So she was a cheater... I called it but I admire that she finally came out on her own!

[@ar8107]

Tiffany Sanchez -I don’t think she cheated but had lust. Which is bad as well. Tell me if you don’t see a hot couple you don’t lust over how you could also have the same. It happens to all of us...and of course if someone finds out you had an emotional affair that’s where she messed up and knew things were not good for her at home.....

[@aprilleerose]

Ana R she said she had an emotional affair with Johnny Noxville

[@AviZaientz]

I read the book and she didn’t cheat. She would open up to Johnny Knoxville about her life and she felt attracted to him but she didn’t sleep with him and even calling it an emotional affair is kind of pushing it in my opinion but I guess that’s really debatable.

[@amberbeck2535]

I thought Nick cheated on her though

[@tiffanysanchez9184]

@@amberbeck2535 no she cheated on him emotionally, mentally, and then sexually

[@dominiquemoore2367]

[@nataliehayes6904]

I have the audiobook, you can definitely hear how emotional she is

[@JoanneJaworski]

How incredibly sad it is that she put herself through 2 tummy tuck SURGERIES back to back in a year. Do people even realize how risky surgeries can be let alone putting your body through that in a year??? Or that botox is a POISON?

[@TheBoots72]

Isn't it also quite dangerous to get pregnant again after a tummy tuck? I have heard the scar ripping and stuff 😲And she did it twice..

[@needmorezen365]

It's also incredibly sad that a plastic surgeon would care more about money than someone's health. 2 surgeries back to back in a year....? And the fact that she got pregnant after one of them. She's lucky she didn't die.

[@TheBoots72]

@@needmorezen365 doesn't she have 3 kids though?.So she got pregnant twice after a tummy tuck

[@cinciwhodey6934]

Isn't it sad that at a size 4 She was made out to be fat?

[@anadebeljak9528]

If you’re a celebrity and not looking hot anymore people will eat you alive. I totally understand why she got it done. I been bullied about my looks since I was 4. I was asked why I have so many wrinkles and I was 30 year old. People love to judge.

[@kong7535]

What’s wrong with her speech? It’s weird.

[@evaramirez2946]

Mai she’s on anti depressants sounds the way I do when I’m on Zoloft lol

[@ScootsMahgoots]

The neckie thing too with wobbling her head

[@ashmitpatel7677]

She can’t even smile. It looks painful after the face / nose job

[@samantharovai7323]

I think she also had an addiction problem, which can have long term affects on speech and what not. But I think she's always sounded like this, it just looks weird with the surgeries.

[@Zombiecupcake157]

Her sister talks the exact same way. Head wobbling, too. It’s just how they are.

[@marymoe712]

I’m definitely purchasing her book. 📖

[@1missyspencer]

Can we say THANK YOU for not being casted in the Notebook!!!! It's a great movie and would've been horrible with her as Ally.

[@yadanada4106]

Yes, I agree. Though a (good) singer, her acting is atrocious. The employee of the month and Dukes of Hazard (both cheesy movies) I couldn’t take her seriously in the Notebook. Thank GOD

[@jespino41761]

Im so glad she didnt take the rold of the notebook....the notebook is my favorite movie of all times and rachel killed it 🥰🥰

[@Nels9870]

I thin it’s either too much Botox or anxiety meds

[@punkqueen5664]

OH MY GOOOOOD, THANK YOU FOR NUMBER 1, seriously who would offer her that part?

[@4everdee33]

She always talked sluggish to me.There are some southern dialects that have a slurring to it's twang....she always sounded like that to me....even when she sings. I am proud of her tho for telling her story though.....shes an amazing business woman, crazy to know that with the success she had outside of music, she still had a fall that hard.

[@crystalmorrison1616]

I'm glad she did because I love the notebook as it is

[@Nels9870]

Agree. Oh my gosh it was so perfect the way it ended up with Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling, I am sooo glad she turned it down. We would have never felt what we all did with The Notebook if Jessica had done it. Period.

What do they expect her to do....nick treated her like shit. He was mean to her through out the entire show they had together. I seen it and I'm sure alot of others did too. It's not right to cheat either way but she made a decision, nick chased her away.

[@Kimberly-rj2sc]

She says she was a spoiled brat on the show so it goes both ways I guess

[@ralphjaysongariguez3305]

She didn't speak but they're quits coz Nick and Vanessa were also having an affair while Jess was having hers with Knoxville. Remember how Vanessa tried to convince her then bestfriend (Jessica) to divorce Nick? That's why these girls are bitter to each other coz Vanessa's target was Nick.

[@sbaby-np5hy]

I've always been a fan of hers. I've always thought she had an amazing voice and I actually was surprised that she didn't get as big as Britney Spears or Christina Aguilera because of that voice and the clothing line that she has designed that I have seen thus far in stores is beautiful the shoes everything now I'd walk like not even a mile and I'd be like ready to switch to either barefoot or sneakers but they're beautiful. You'll see on so many posts about her break up with Nick lachey and you know and about her time on newlyweds and when she made her first album and stuff like that oh she was so selfish oh she was you know so immature you have to remember she got married at 22 and I know that doesn't seem like a baby at that time because I know when I was in my twenties I was grown up but that is a baby she I don't believe she or Nick were ready for marriage I mean they looked great together don't get me wrong but they just weren't meant to be. At the end of the day they're both being very mature about this like he's wishing her the best and she's wishing him the best cuz they have clearly moved on.
