“#Body Shaming Almost Turned Jessica Simpson Into A ‘Recluse’
\n<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\nWhile body positivity is getting more popular every day thanks to stars like Lizzo<\/strong> championing self-love over on TikTok<\/strong>, there wasn\u2019t always such a backlash against body shaming of celebs.<\/p>\n

One star who knows the hard truth of what negative comments can do to a person\u2019s self-worth is Jessica Simpson<\/strong>. Getting deeply vulnerable in her recently released memoir Open Book<\/em>, the author has made it clear she faced struggles while coming to terms with her body image and strangers\u2019 opinions on her weight, outfits, and much more during her young life in the spotlight.<\/p>\n

Now, the superstar\u2019s momma is speaking out\u00a0on what it was like watching her daughter face the brutal effects of body shaming in her heyday. On Wednesday\u2019s episode of the Today Show<\/em>, Tina Simpson<\/strong> admitted to host Sheinelle<\/strong> Jones<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

\u201cI have to be honest: To me the hardest thing with Jessica has been the weight. Because the way people judge her, it\u2019s unbelievable. Body shaming is a terrible thing, and no girl should have to go through that \u2014 or guy. Period.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The 61-year-old even revealed the situation got so bad, there was a period of time the singer didn\u2019t want to leave the house because she was afraid of possible headlines. Wow\u2026 Tina remembered:<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause of [the body shaming], it catapulted all kinds of different emotions and different things in her life too, you know? And then it made her want to be a recluse, in a lot of ways, and to hide out and not want to get out of her house.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

So sad! That\u2019s no way for a young person to feel! And the 40-year-old has since said that this kind of pain can \u201cstay with you for a lifetime.\u201d Just another reason we need to nip body shaming in the bud for good!<\/p>\n

Last month, the Irresistible<\/em> singer\u00a0opened up in her memoir about\u00a0how getting called \u201cfat\u201d for wearing a pair of \u201cmom jeans\u201d in 2009 made her so upset she wrote in her diary:<\/p>\n

\u201cToday my heart breaks because people say I\u2019m fat. Why does the cruel opinion of this world get to me?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The world can be so cruel sometimes. We\u2019re glad to see things slowly start to change, but with social media<\/a> these days, the problems have also escalated in a lot of ways \u2014 like all the photoshopping that\u2019s been deemed normal. And, y\u2019know, mega famous celebrities going through MAJOR effort to remove less-edited photos of themselves from the internet because they don\u2019t look \u201cprefect\u201d enough. SMH.<\/p>\n

Speaking on the \u201cwonderful movement for body positivity now,\u201d Jess told People<\/em> in March:<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think people always realized that there was a human being, a beating heart and working eyes with actual feelings behind those headlines and that words can hurt and stay with you for a lifetime.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

While she\u2019s not totally over those harmful words, the former reality star suggested of her future:<\/p>\n

\u201cI spent so many years beating myself up for an unrealistic body standard that made me feel like a failure all of the time. I am still a work in progress when it comes to self-criticism but now I have the tools to quiet those voices in my head when they speak up.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The momma-of-three finished:<\/p>\n

\u201cI believe in my heart that a healthy body and a sound mind-body connection are what\u2019s truly important and help me accept imperfections as beauty.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

What even is \u201cperfect\u201d anyway? Live true to you, \u201cimperfections\u201d and all, Perezcious readers! Watch Tina\u2019s full interview to hear more about Jessica\u2019s childhood and her bond with sister Ashlee Simpson<\/strong> (below)!<\/p>\n
