Jessica Simpson says she would keep a glitter cup ‘filled to the rim’ with alcohol before getting sober
Jessica Simpson says that in the throes of her addiction, she “completely didn’t recognise” herself.
The entertainer turned fashion mogul, 39, gave her first TV interview promoting her memoir Open Book to US programme the Today show.
The full interview is set to air on Wednesday 29 January, but in a preview, she talked about her “spiral” with alcohol and how it became an everyday thing — as well as why she decided she “had to surrender.”
“I had started a spiral and I couldn’t catch up with myself,” Simpson admitted Hoda Kotb. “I was just like spiralling, chasing my tail. And that was with alcohol.”
The Dukes of Hazzard star admitted, “Every day I would say it,” referring to how she acknowledged her alcohol dependency to her inner circle. “And I would say it openly to everyone: ‘I know — I’ll stop soon. I’ll cut back.’ But for me to cut back — I’m an all or nothing girl. I didn’t know that it was a problem until it was.”
Simpson said she “always had a glitter cup” that she drank out of. “It was always filled to the rim with alcohol.”
Simpson, who was also addicted to pills, got sober after hitting rock bottom on Halloween 2017. She started drinking early that morning — prior to attending her daughter Maxwell’s 7:30 a.m. school event — and later that day she was too drunk to get her kids, also including son Ace, into costume for the party they were hosting. She still doesn’t remember who dressed them.
