Jessica Simpson’s “strange” behavior in her latest ad has left fans concerned.
“Something is wrong here,” one person speculated.
“Wtf happened to her face? She can barely speak. Shame,” a second added.
“Please tell me I’m not the only one that hears her voice being totally slow… is she ok?!?!” a third asked.
“Respectfully… she looks frail,” offered a fourth.

Born in Texas in 1980, Simpson has had a prolific career…
She signed with Colombia records aged just seventeen.
Her debut album, Sweet Kisses, sold over 2 million copies.
But it was her second album that saw her career really take off!
Irresistible, released in 2001, was a top twenty hit!
And Simpson’s follow-up album, In This Skin, sold over 3 million copies in the US alone.
Around this time, Simpson also began making headlines for her personal life.
And her relationship with Nick Lachey became the subject of one of the first ever reality TV shows!
However, she wasn’t always universally beloved.
Many found her to be a quintessential dumb blonde airhead (although Simpson later claimed she was playing this role up for the cameras).
Simpson followed this new-found notoriety with another hit album.
ReJoyce: The Christmas Album was certified gold in 2004.
And Simpson then decided she wanted to try her hand at acting.
She played Daisy Duke in the 2005 reboot of The Dukes of Hazzard.
Simpson also famously covered ‘These Boots Are Made For Walkin” for the movie’s soundtrack.
This was her first foray into the country music genre, where she has predominantly dwelled ever since.
Simpson is also a successful businesswoman.
Her line of clothing alone has turned over $1 billion in revenue.
You may also remember her 2020 memoir, Open Book.
The scandalous book was a huge hit, and reached the number one spot in the New York Times bestseller list.
She’s currently married to NFL star Eric Johnson.
And the 2 share 3 kids, daughters, Maxwell and Birdie, and son, Ace.
But this week, Simpson has hit headlines for a different reason…
A rather controversial ad that has gotten the whole internet talking!
The ad in question was for Pottery Barn.
But no one was focused on the cute homeware…
In fact, everyone couldn’t take their eyes off how weird Simpson acted in it.
“Hi, I’m Jessica Simpson, and welcome to my daughter Birdie’s room, designed by Pottery Barn Kids and a little bit of me,” she began.
“I was really drawn to the geometric prints and the color scheme.
“This really, to me, is Birdie’s personality!
“Thank you everyone for checking out the adorable room of Birdie Mae Johnson,” Simpson concluded.
All the while, Simpson was obviously slurring her words in a worrying manner.
Fans also noticed she appeared stilted and stiff.
Simpson also looked exceptionally thin and gaunt.
“Why does she talk like that now?” one fan commented.
“It’s just strange, it’s in every video of her talking. Like she is trying really hard to get the words right.”
However, others showed their support for the star.
“It’s sad that all these comments are about her appearance. It’s none of anyone’s business. I wish people were kinder,” one wrote.
“If she does have an eating disorder it’s not her fault so these comments are not helpful being ridiculed over her weight gain after her pregnancies,” added another.
“For the haters, she has always been a small woman, just not when pregnant (as 95% of women) – so cut her some slack. Let her live!” defended a third.
