While she had no drawback addressing haters, the singer was extra coy when it got here to rumors about Mark Wahlberg. (More on that later.)
Simpson’s look made headlines in November when her sponsored publish for Pottery Barn Kids went viral for the mistaken causes. Some on social media have been satisfied she was utilizing Ozempic because of her petite determine, the FDA-approved diabetes medicine that many in Hollywood (and past) are utilizing as a weight-loss drug.
“Oh Lord. I mean, it is not [Ozempic],” Simpson declared, “it’s willpower. I’m like, do people want me to be drinking again? Because that’s when I was heavier. Or they want me to be having another baby? My body can’t do it.”
Simpson is greater than 5 years sober. She detailed her wrestle with alcohol and 20-year habit to slimming capsules in her best-selling memoir, Open Book. The singer’s weight fluctuation has coincided with the ups and downs of life, to not point out her three pregnancies.

“I am fortunate to have been every size,” Simpson shared, explaining she sees her body modifications as an asset. “For [my] brand, understanding the women [who buy our products], and for my psyche.”
Still, Simpson is barely human.
“Am I going to let the negativity derail me? No, I’m too old for that,” she added. “I am too connected to myself right now to let that derail me. It doesn’t mean that it doesn’t hurt.”
Simpson addressed one other situation within the Bustle interview the web appears to deeply care about.
Earlier this yr, the singer revealed a chunk for Amazon Original Stories that detailed a secret previous romance with a “massive movie star.” Simpson wrote about how the well-known actor, whom she by no means named, made her really feel “like a call girl.” One trace she gave was that the thriller man was spiritual: “We had different faiths, but the same reverence for God.” It did not take lengthy earlier than social media sleuths named Wahlberg as a attainable suspect.
Bustle requested Simpson if she heard from Wahlberg for the reason that story was revealed in January. “She laughs — like a deafening, throw-back-your-head-and-cackle laugh — before saying she would absolutely not confirm the subject’s identity,” the interviewer wrote.
The solely factor Simpson needed to say: “There’s a lot of Catholics out there.”
