Jessica Simpson is seemingly clapping back at social media users who questioned her well-being

Jessica Simpson is feeling strong after five years of sobriety.

The singer and actress shared a video on Instagram of herself singing along to her song "Party of One." She also added a lengthy caption to the latest post in which she appeared to clap back at social media users who made assumptions about her well-being after she appeared in a Pottery Barn commercial days earlier.

The ad features Simpson and her three-year-old daughter Birdie promoting Pottery Barn Kids home decor. After she and the brand shared the ad on Instagram, people in the comments section of the post openly wondered if Simpson was OK, noting that her speech seemed slow and her weight didn't look healthy.

“I had to be in my studio today because this is where I ground and heal,” Simpson writes in her latest post. "As much as I've learned to tune out destructive noise...people's comments and judgments can still hurt deeply with their incessant nagging, 'You'll never be good enough'."

Simpson is no stranger to public criticism, particularly when it comes to her appearance. "I was criticized and it hurts, but I was at any weight and was proud of it," she said in an interview with Extra in October 2022. In the same interview, she revealed that she has been working with a nutritionist since giving birth to her third child in 2019.

Simpson has also been open about working on her fitness lately. She even proudly posed in a bikini to celebrate herself earlier this year. "I never thought this moment could or would happen, but I'm finally wearing a BIKINI in the spring!!!!!!" she wrote in an Instagram post in April 2022.

In her latest post, she also addresses her past struggles with alcohol addiction, which she shared over the past few years and in her 2020 memoir, Open Book.

“The most important thing I have learned over the last 5 years, without alcohol being a barrier to escapism, is that I CAN and WILL ALWAYS get through it,” she writes. "I'm capable of pretty much anything that's important enough to me to focus on. I'm present. I'm deeply inspired. I'm determined. I'm honest.

Spending time in her studio seems to help the musician feel more centered. "Having just grounded myself in my heart with my voice and the lyrics, I feel compassion for the stubborn hatred that some people can blurt out so effortlessly and with such intensity on social media or media in general," the 42-year-old writes. year old, adding that everyone has days when they wish they could look better, feel better or be better.

“I woke up feeling simultaneously anxious and insecure, but also angry and defensive, like some of you,” she continues. "I know what works for me, and that is letting go and just singing while looking straight into the mirror, straight into my eyes, to really see and understand myself. I can connect with my heartbeat. I am stable and strong. I am home."

She ends her caption with some advice for her followers. “Live in your dreams and move through them,” Simpson writes. "Don't give up on yourself because someone else did. Stay true to YOU. It's worked for me so far in this chaotic life. Nothing and no one will steal my joy. It should be yours too."

Although she hasn't directly stated her motivation for sharing her latest Instagram video and caption, it's clear that she won't let anyone take away her positivity.
