Jessica Simpson has denied using medicines to help her lose weight.
The 42-year-old performer has struggled with her weight in recent years, recently stating that she has ‘gained and lost 100 pounds’ three times in a short period of time.
Naturally, the celebrity is happy of sticking to a diet and dropping a significant amount of weight, cheerfully appearing in bikinis and expressing her “hard work, commitment, and self love.”
Jessica, on the other hand, has been accused of using a pill to reduce weight, since the diabetic medication Ozempic has become a new fad for individuals – notably celebrities – to lose weight.
She has since vehemently denied the allegations, claiming that her slimmer figure is the result of sheer ‘willpower’ and sobriety.
When asked if Ozempic has anything to do with her weight, she said, ‘Oh Lord. That is not the case.’
‘It’s willpower,’ she went on to Bustle, adding exasperatedly: ‘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.’
She admitted it ‘hurts’ to be criticised for her weight, with some even accusing her of now being too thin, but insisted she won’t ‘let the negativity derail me.’
That, however, ‘doesn’t mean that it doesn’t hurt.’
The mother of three, who has three children, irdie Mae, Maxwell Drew, and Ace Knute, proudly displayed her figure in a swimsuit photo last year, confessing that witnessing the change in her size made her emotional.
In a grinning Instagram post, she wrote: ‘I have gained and lost 100lbs 3x so I never thought this moment could or would happen, but I’m finally spring breakin’ wearin’ a BIKINI!!!!!!’
‘Hard work, determination, self-love. I enjoyed a good proud cry today.’
At the same time, she told Today that she had thrown away the scales and quit weighing herself, revealing that she had ‘no clue’ how much she weighed but simply wanted ‘to be able to feel nice and zip my pants up’.
‘If I don’t, I have another size. I have every size.
‘I’ve really tried my hardest to not let that define me.’
