A SOBER DOM? –
March 21, 2025 – “I bought my freedom.” In line with that open book approach, Simpson plans to produce a documentary using 400 hours of footage she compiled in the process of “stopping drinking and buying my company.” Followers of Simpson often seemed to imagine themselves as her best friend and/or personal trainer/sober coach/nutritionist.
Simpson doesn’t mind sharing herself with the world — her best-selling memoir was titled Open Book, after all — but that doesn’t mean it hasn’t been a challenge to figure out who she is away from all that scrutiny. “If I based it off comments or articles or anything like that, I wouldn’t know who I am, either,” she says.
Though Simpson never stopped writing music, she didn’t release it, short of a few songs tacked onto the end of the audiobook for Open Book. In the expansive break from making albums, she weathered a few very public romances, got married, had kids, quit drinking, and built a massive lifestyle brand, the Jessica Simpson Collection, whose name she didn’t even own until recently. Doing so required her to liquidate her assets and take out a major loan. “Now everything goes to paying back the brand,” she says, motioning to the chair next to her, which she thrifted for 20 bucks.
