Friends fear for Jessica Simpson's health after pics show drastic weight loss
SAN FRANSISCO, CALIFORNIA: Jessica Simpson’s new avatar has reportedly unnerved her loved ones, who fear that her drastic weight loss "doesn't seem healthy." The 42-year-old songstress proudly announced that, with a nutritionist's assistance, she was able to shed an astonishing 100 pounds after giving birth to her daughter, Birdie Mae, in 2019.
In April 2021, the 'Sweetest Sin' singer revealed on the 'Today Show' that she weighed 260 pounds during her pregnancy, adding, “I was much heavier than my husband who played in the NFL so that pregnancy really did me in. I'm almost 5-foot-4, so 260 was really heavy for me." Simpson also claimed that switching up her diet and staying active did wonders as she worked with a trainer, Harley Pasternak, who created a program to help her shed some heavyweight, according to DailyMail.

'She doesn't look like herself anymore'
The singer-turned-powerhouse fashion mogul has since been open about her fluctuating weight. She recently shared a stunning picture on Instagram, featuring her dramatically frail frame that sparked concerns among her fans. Following the post, a source close to the singer claimed that her inner circle is "extremely worried" about her weight loss, adding that she has always been beautiful but they fear for her well-being. "Her clothes hang off her and her cheeks are sunken. She doesn't even look like herself anymore," the tipster told Radar Online, "Jessica's naturally curvy. It doesn't seem healthy for her to be so thin."
Simpson opened up last year about the criticism she receives online and how she is fighting it while building her brand. “Oh, gosh, no. Would any woman? I’ve been criticized, and it hurts, but I’ve been every weight and I’ve been proud of it. I decided, ‘Okay, everybody is going to talk about my weight all the time, I might as well make money off of it and turn it into a business of selling clothes and acceptance,'” the mother of three told Extra.
'I have every size’
"I always celebrate my body," Simpson asserted in an interview with People. "The fact that it made children is unreal...but you just don't ever think you're going to fit back into things. It's crazy. A woman's body is phenomenal in what it can do." The crooner also claims that she threw out her weighing scale after her weight loss. "I have no idea how much I weigh, I just want to be able to feel good and zip my pants up. If I don't, I have another size. I have every size," she added.
