“I didn’t love myself.” Jessica Simpson’s drinking problem had taken over her life
On November 2, the “Irresistible” singer made public her celebration of turning 6 years of sobriety.
“6 years ago,” Simpson captioned the post on her Instagram Story. The post that was originally shared on November 1, 2021 included a photo of himself from 2017. At the time, Simpson celebrated four years of sobriety.
Now, two years later, the mother of three continues to surprise her fans as she shows off her new perspective on life.
In the post, Simpson says:
“This person from the early morning of November 1, 2017 is an unrecognizable version of myself. He had a lot of self-discovery to unlock and explore.
“I knew that in that very moment it would allow me to reclaim my light, show victory over my internal battle of self-respect, and face this world with piercing clarity.
“Personally, to do this I needed to stop drinking alcohol because it kept my mind and heart going in the same direction and, honestly, I was exhausted.”
In the 2017 photo, the fashion designer was sitting on a couch in a messy room. Simpson was wearing a pink two-piece tracksuit and was not wearing makeup. Her face seemed to be swollen.
“I wanted to feel the pain so I could wear it like a badge of honor. “I wanted to live like a leader does and break cycles to move forward, never looking back with regret and remorse for any choices I made and would make for the rest of my time here in this beautiful world,” the post continued.
He also mentioned the unspoken stigma around the word “alcoholism” and the word “alcoholic.”
“The drink was not the problem. Was. I didn’t love myself. I didn’t respect my own power,” Simpson admitted.
The singer lost 100 pounds after the birth of her youngest daughter
Simpson has undergone a remarkable transformation in his life. After giving birth to her daughter, Birdie Mae, in 2019, she successfully lost 100 pounds. Unfortunately, she, the daughter of a preacher, continues to face scrutiny over her weight.
“My kids see that I’m still being tested and it’s very confusing for them because they’re like, ‘I don’t even understand this.’ Why don’t they just say you look pretty, Mom? said the “I Belong to Me” singer Access Hollywood.

“I wish I could say for myself that it’s improved, but it’s still the same.”
In 2023, Simpson and his family left Hollywood and spent a summer in Nashville, Tennessee.
She is currently married to former NFL player, Eric Johnson. They share three children: Maxwell Drew, 11, Ace Knute, 10, and Birdie Mae, 4.
“Being in Nashville, even my kids say, ‘You laugh all the time.’ “You’re so happy,” Simpson told E News.
“It’s because I’m not on guard. I’m with a lot of like-minded people. “It’s not about the celebrities, it’s about the music, the heart and the conversation.”
Jessica Simpson has released new music, a book and is working hard to rebuild her brand
Simpson has also been working hard to relaunch her multi-million dollar fashion brand, the Jessica Simpson Collection.
2005 began to have complications after Sequential Brands obtained a majority stake within the Simpson brand for an undisclosed amount back in 2015.
The company eventually filed for bankruptcy, and in 2021, a judge approved Simpson’s significant offer of $65 million, securing a majority stake in the company.
In October 2021, Simpson told Footwear News: “It means the world to me to be able to take full ownership of my brand.”
The singer has been incredibly candid about her battle with alcohol.
During an interview to promote his memoirs, Open bookwhich premiered in 2020, Simpson confided in Hoda Kotb about the Today show about the severity of his long-standing struggles with alcohol and stimulants.
He emphasized that his actions were never intended to harm anyone.
In one particularly poignant moment, he recalled a time when he woke up at 7 a.m. on Halloween and needed a drink to calm down, as he shared with the Today show host:
“I had started to spiral and I couldn’t recover… and that was with alcohol,” Simpson shared.
“Every day I said it: ‘I’ll stop soon.’ I’ll cut back.’”
Simpson continued: “I didn’t recognize myself at all,” he said.
“I always had a glitter mug. It was always filled to the brim with alcohol. I just realized I had to give up. It was time. I had to give up and I was ready.”
Congratulations to Jessica Simpson. We can all agree that it looks much better these days!
