Jessica Simpson has shared a personal reflection after posting an old photo of herself taken six years ago, before she became sober. She described the image as showing a version of herself she barely recognizes today.
The singer and actress has spoken openly about giving up alcohol in 2017. She says drinking kept her stuck, emotionally exhausted, and disconnected from herself. Sobriety, she explains, allowed her to face pain, accept past struggles, and rebuild self-respect.
She has said that alcohol was not the root problem, but a way to avoid dealing with deeper issues. Through sobriety and therapy, she learned to confront trauma and regain control of her life. Today, she says she feels honest, free, and at peace with herself.
The post also comes after ongoing public discussion about her weight loss. Simpson has denied using weight-loss drugs and insists her changes came through willpower, lifestyle changes, and cutting out alcohol. She says stopping drinking played a major role in her physical transformation.
Simpson has acknowledged that comments about her appearance can still hurt, but says she no longer allows criticism to define her. She believes her weight should not be a public conversation and says she is now focused on health, self-acceptance, and living with clarity rather than chasing past expectations.
