"Hi, I'm Jessica Simpson, welcome to my daughter Birdie's room, designed by Pottery Barn Kids and a little bit of me," Jessica says in the video, which she recently posted on her Instagram handle. "I was really drawn to the geometric prints and the color scheme. This really, to me, is Birdie's personality. Thank you all for seeing Birdie Mae Johnson's adorable room," the ad ends.
The video began to spark concerns over her well-being among followers and the comment section filled with a lot of fans inquiring about her health and asking if she is OK. One commented, "Something is wrong here," other sadly wrote," Respectfully…she looks frail 🥺" another comment read, "What is going on here. What’s wrong? 😢," another concerned follower wrote,"Is she ok?" “It’s sad that all these comments are about her appearance. It’s none of anyone’s business. I wish people were kinder,” one follower commented.
Some other followers defended her by urging the haters to stop making judgements, “If she does have an eating disorder it’s not her fault so these comments are not helpful being ridiculed over her weight gain after her pregnancies 😢,” another wrote. “Super cute room! And for the haters, she has always been a small woman, just not when pregnant (as 95% of women) – so cut her some slack. Let her live! ❤️,” another comment said.
The singer was criticized for her body image back in 2009 for wearing mom jeans and she even opened up about the struggles she had to face those days. In February 2020, Jessica Simpson spent a good deal of time on Today Show discussing her battles with body image concerns. She talked openly about the 2009 photo of her wearing mom jeans that went viral online and received harsh criticism for her appearance throughout the conversation.
After having her third child, Birdie, in 2019, Simpson shed almost 100 lbs. The singer disclosed that she lost weight thanks to a change in her diet. She frequently exercises with Harley Pasternak, her personal trainer, who also provided her with Harley's Body Reset Diet Plan. The diet consists of three meals each day, smoothies, and snacks. Recently she even shared a picture in a sexy bikini where she flaunted her body after losing weight.
In her 2020 book, 'Open Book', Simpson also wrote openly about her health, admitting that she had once been "killing" herself through a drug and alcohol addiction. The businesswoman and her husband, Eric Johnson, whom she married in July 2014, have three children together: Maxwell, 10, Ace, 9, and Birdie, 3.
