Jessica Simpson left many people scratching their heads after a recent appearance on Ellen. The pop-star-turned-affordable-fashion-designer-mogul gave a bizarro interview which had many viewers wondering if: A. She was OK, or B. She was drunk.
The interview starts with Simpson, unprompted, talking about how “excited” she is that she isn’t pregnant and that she hopes she never gets pregnant ever again. Then she briefly talks about getting an IUD so “nothing’s gonna get in that uterus,” before trying to remember how many years she’s been with her husband (she finally decides on seven), and then saying she’s been in a relationship with a woman before correcting herself and saying, actually, she hasn’t been in a relationship with a woman “like that.”
From there, the conversation descends even further with Simpson talking about her daughter’s recent mermaid-themed birthday party and how mermaids go to the bathroom, her husband’s ability to give back massages while he’s sleeping, and her billion dollar business that she readily admits she has no idea how she built, especially because she’s terrible at math.
“But somehow you have a billion dollar business,” Ellen says.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Simpson laughs. “Isn’t that awesome? Ha! It can happen for anybody!”

Dedicating my first tweet in a long time to Jessica Simpson, who on Ellen today showed us she is still really, really dumb…wow

i've been saying this for years: jessica simpson's oscar-winning performance would be playing anna nicole smith in a biopic pic.twitter.com/tHu3JM0VC5

some people are so young that they associate jessica simpson with reasonably priced shoes and not tuna fish.

Was the Ellen Show hard up for guests today? Watching the Jessica Simpson interview was cringe worthy. #Ellen #awkward pic.twitter.com/GPfM6HYueF

She doesn’t look as yellow as she does on that show with Marge and Homer.

Please. This the same idiot that thought Chicken of the sea tuna meant it had chicken in it.

She’s always been Anna Nicole meets Britney. But she does seem more “warbly” than she once did.
The results of growing up in a super religious, inter-sexual household and being raised to only be famous and be eye candy. At least she has to do nothing the rest of her life but put her name on shoes and pants.

Is she any different now than she always was?

Well no offense, but she’s always been like that. She’s a bit of an airhead who got lucky and made millions. She was right when she said that it only means that anyone can do it. Don’t know why some people are rambling on, “What was wrong with Jessica Simpson?” NOTHING! She’s always been like that! Were you literally born yesterday?

the ‘look at me, i’m a dumb blonde with lotsa money’ schtick is getting really boring. i can only hope the condition isn’t hereditary or those poor kids.

She’s just out of practice at playing stupid and did it wrong. She’s been running her own billion dollar retail empire since she was on that TV show.

I watchedthis and 1) thought she might just be very nervous 2) putting on a dumb act or 3) she’s really like that. I never thought she was drunk or on drugs. Ellen seemed really annoyed but has been with guests lately like she’s ready for the show to end for the summer (wouldn’t you hate having to dance like that whether you felt like it or not ?). Johnny Depp was on the other day and he acted like that too, not answering questions etc. Ellen hates when guests won’t play Dr Johnsons Dancing Dog to her demands so may be Jessica was saying fu.
