Jessica Simpson Speaks Out on Weight Scrutiny: A singer and actress, Jessica Simpson, discussed the public’s focus on her weight changes. In an interview with Kit Hoover of Access Hollywood, Simpson complained about the attention on her body. She said discussing her weight “doesn’t need to be talked about.”
The actress lost 100 pounds after having her daughter in 2019. In a July chat with Bustle, she denied using Ozempic to lose weight. She agrees with celebs like Ariana Grande and Bebe Rexha, who say the media focuses too much on weight.
Dr. Elizabeth Wassenaar and Alexis Connson, clinical psychologist and author, agree with Simpson. Wassenaar suggests that commenting on weight can impact self-worth based on appearance. Conason advises against discussing others’ bodies as it reflects more on the speaker than the subject.
Jessica Simpson said the constant attention affects her children, who don’t understand why her appearance always judges her. “My kids see that I’m still being looked at, and it’s confusing for them because they ask, ‘Why don’t they just say you look pretty mom?'” she told Access Hollywood.

Ariaa Grande and Bebe Rexha both talked about body image this year. In an April TikTok, Grande urged people to be “kinder and less comfortable” commenting on others’ bodies. Experts warn that compliments on appearance can be harmful despite good intentions.
Dr. Wassenaar stated that comments on one’s body reinforce the idea that their worth is solely based on their appearance and that they must conform to societal standards for acceptance. She said these comments contribute to a shallow body-focused culture that can harm people.
Alexis Conason advises against negative comments about body image, as it can affect anyone, regardless of size. “No one has a right to talk about your body. If someone does, it says more about them than you,” Conason said .
Jessica Simpson wants society to rethink body image and weight. She has support from mental health workers and famous individuals. People want to stop public discussions about physical looks, which can harm self-esteem and mental health.
