<p><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/jessica-simpson-responds-to-fans-concerned-about-her-strange-behavior-in-pottery-barn-ad" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jessica Simpson</a> responded to online critics who claim her weight loss is due to her taking the diabetes drug Ozempic.</p>
<p>During the 42-year-old singer/actress&#8217;s cover piece for <a href="https://www.bustle.com/entertainment/jessica-simpson-interview-new-music?token=eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJpZCI6IjIyNDc5MDcwOCIsImlhdCI6MTY4ODU4Nzc2NiwiZXhwIjoxNjkzNzcxNzY2LCJhdWQiOiJwcmV2aWV3IiwiaXNzIjoiZ3JhZGl1c0AxLjAuMCJ9.H2N9TRlud4lUuC2wxU6KxpaY9JtLUhikMOmB177WlbY" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bustle magazine</a>, the &#8220;Dukes of Hazzard&#8221; star hit back and made it clear &#8220;it is not&#8221; how she dropped the pounds after online trolls suggested the mother of three was &#8220;too skinny&#8221; and was taking &#8220;Ozempic.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Oh Lord. I mean, it is not — it&#8217;s willpower,&#8221; Simpson replied when asked about the anti-obesity medication. &#8220;I’m like, do people want me to be drinking again? Because that&#8217;s when I was heavier. Or they want me to be having another baby? My body can&#8217;t do it.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Am I going to let the negativity derail me? No, I&#8217;m too old for that,&#8221; she added. &#8220;I am too connected to myself right now to let that derail me. It doesn&#8217;t mean that it doesn&#8217;t hurt.&#8221;</p>
<p>Simpson said her weight changes over the last decade were a result of alcohol abuse, side effects from psychiatric medications, and hormonal changes, the outlet noted. But Simpson said she sees it now as an asset as a fashion designer.</p>
<p>&#8220;I am fortunate to have been every size,&#8221; Simpson said. &#8220;For [my] brand, understanding the women [who buy our products], and for my psyche.&#8221;</p>

<p>In September 2022, Simpson <a href="https://pagesix.com/2022/09/29/jessica-simpson-reveals-how-she-lost-100-pounds-3-years-ago/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">opened up</a> about losing 100 pounds after giving birth to her and husband Eric Johnson&#8217;s third child, a daughter named Birdie.</p>
<p>&#8220;I have gained and lost 100lbs 3x so I never thought this moment could or would happen, but I&#8217;m finally spring breakin&#8217; wearin&#8217; a BIKINI!!!!!!,&#8221; Simpson captioned her Instagram post.</p>
<p>&#8220;Hard work,&#8221; she added. &#8220;Determination, Self Love. I enjoyed a good proud cry today.&#8221;</p>
<p>A few months later, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/is-she-okay-jessica-simpson-fans-concerned-over-behavior-in-latest-ad" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Simpson&#8217;s Pottery Barn</a> ad <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/Ckgn972K3zf/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sparked</a> concern from fans who thought the singer was acting strangely. Fans said she appeared &#8220;frail,&#8221; leading them to question her health.</p>
<p>Simpson posted a video in response and said that even though she&#8217;s learned to &#8220;block out destructive noise…peoples&#8217; comments and judgments can still hurt deeply.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I woke up at the same time anxious and insecure but also also angry and defensive,&#8221; Simpson captioned <a href="https://pagesix.com/2023/07/06/jessica-simpson-addresses-claims-she-used-ozempic-to-lose-weight/?utm_source=instagram&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_campaign=pagesix&amp;utm_content=curalate_like2buy_oY9UkwSj__50d5caec-b953-4963-8dba-6710b46a2c6b&amp;utm_term=curalate_like2buy&amp;crl8_id=50d5caec-b953-4963-8dba-6710b46a2c6b" target="_blank" rel="noopener">her post</a>. &#8220;Nothin&#8217; and nobody will rob me of my joy. Ya might come close but it is mine to own.&#8221;</p>
<p>The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/jessica-simpson-says-shes-on-a-budget-now-after-her-credit-card-got-denied-at-taco-bell" target="_blank" rel="noopener">superstar singer</a> has been very open about her personal struggles with everything from weight loss to sobriety as noted in her 2020 memoir &#8220;<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Open-Book-Jessica-Simpson/dp/0062899961" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Open Book</a>.&#8221;</p>
<p>In 2021, Simpson celebrated her four years of sobriety with an image she posted on Instagram, the day she said she would allow herself &#8220;to take back&#8221; her &#8220;light.&#8221;</p>
