Jessica Simpson is experiencing a full-circle moment like no other.
As a former teen star-turned-fashion designer, Simpson has spent the majority of her life in the spotlight.
And with all fame comes criticism loads of it.
Simpson’s complicated relationship with her weight and body image began at a young age.
“[My kids are] like, ‘I don’t even understand this.
Why don’t they just say you look pretty, Mom?
You look pretty,'” she explained toAccess Hollywood.
“I’m like, ‘Honey …
I wish I could explain it.’
In Simpson’s opinion, the only way to promote self-acceptance is to quiet the weight conversations.
“I think it just doesn’t need to be a conversation.”
Even as a famous artist, Simpson faced constant tabloid scrutiny.
This constant disapproval of her body size affected her mindset long-term.
Even though she has joined the ranks of recentcelebrity weight-loss transformations, Simpson still found herself defending her body.
“I mean, it is not [Ozempic], it’s willpower,” she toldBustle.
“I’m like, do people want me to be drinking again?
Because that’s when I was heavier.
Or they want me to be having another baby?
My body can’t do it.”
