Jessica Simpson has heard the rumors about her weight loss — and she has plenty of thoughts.

In a recent interview with Bustle, published on Wednesday, July 5th, the 42-year-old singer responded to social media comments about her being "too skinny" and speculation about her use of Ozempic for weight management.

"It's important to clarify that it's not Ozempic," she explained. "It's sheer willpower that has contributed to my slimmer figure. Do people want me to start drinking again? Because that's when I was heavier. Or do they want me to have another baby? Unfortunately, my body is not capable of that."

Simpson acknowledged that criticism about her weight is painful, but she refuses to let it affect her. She believes she is too mature and self-aware to allow negativity to derail her. However, she acknowledges that it still hurts. She also recognizes that her various body sizes have allowed her to better understand her brand's target audience and to develop a stronger mindset.

Ozempic and other generic versions of semaglutide have gained attention in recent times as celebrities in Hollywood have shared their experiences with this diabetes medication. These FDA-approved injections are commonly used to assist individuals with Type 2 diabetes in managing their weight.

As for Simpson, she has openly spoken about her personal struggles with weight. During an appearance on the Today show in April 2021, she expressed her desire to simply feel good and comfortably fit into her clothing. She acknowledged that she avoids keeping a scale in her house and instead focuses on her overall well-being. Simpson emphasized that she refuses to let her clothing size define her and has made significant efforts to not allow it to do so.

In April 2022, the actress, who has children Maxwell (11), Birdie (4), and Ace (10) with her husband Eric Johnson, revealed that she had gained and lost almost 100 pounds three separate times. She expressed her pride in a post and mentioned that her children were the reason behind her weight gain. She added that she had always struggled with her weight and had felt the need to be perfect. However, she felt more confident and deserving of praise when people started embracing her at a larger size.

Simpson's main priority has always been maintaining a healthy diet and exercising regularly. "I believe it's crucial to establish achievable objectives for oneself, which ultimately leads to achieving the seemingly impossible," she expressed to Us. "I felt an overwhelming sense of pride in my accomplishment [regarding my social media post], as well as in my ability to persevere regardless of others' opinions."
