Most of the comments on the post focused on Simpson’s weight. “Jessica are you OK?” one person questioned. Another wrote, “Ok I’m going to say it. You’re wayyyyy to thin. Not judging, just shocked.”
Someone else commented, “Is anyone in Jessica’s life that loves Jessica going to help her? Why isn’t anyone doing anything about her declining health?”
Fans Defend Her: ‘Let The Woman Live. It’s Really Not Y’all’s Business’
Other followers defended Simpson, hitting back at “rude” commenters. “WTF is wrong with you people?!?!? She knows her body! She’s been shamed for it her whole life! Leave her the hell alone!” one person wrote. “Jessica you’re beautiful! And women should be lifting each other up….not tearing each other apart!”
“Mind your business people! Don’t comment on someone’s body being rude,” someone else commented.
Another said, “She was bullied for being ‘overweight’ years ago and now y’all are bullying her again. Let the woman live. It’s really not y’all’s business. She might be battling an illness and y’all are on here saying these abhorrent things. Do better.”
Simpson’s Response To Online Hate
Simpson has been facing comments like these a lot recently. One video she posted, a tour of her daughter Birdie’s room, went viral after many noted her weight and her “slurred speech.” In response, Simpson posted another video of herself singing, with a lengthy caption about ignoring hurtful online comments.
“The most important thing I have learned through the last 5yrs without alcohol being a guard for escapism, is that I CAN and ALWAYS WILL get through it. I am capable of pretty much anything I care enough about to put my mind to,” she wrote.
