Jessica Simpson Opens Up About Her Relationships With John Mayer, Tony Romo | TODAY

oh god, honest Jessica, I don't know about this, but it's actually what got me into people's homes and how they saw that I was human. Jessica Simpson always seems so carefree, doesn't she? But she hid so much as a mother of three. She has opened up about the sexual abuse she says she suffered when she was just six years old. I have a six-year-old and a 7-year-old, so every night when we pray together I think about myself at that age and the thoughts that were going through my head. and she was very afraid that her marriage to Nick Lachey would take up a part of her book, but she also gives a lot of ink to another man she loved and, furthermore, a guy named John Mayer mm-hmm, he might be the one who didn't. make.

I really like reading this book. There are stories here that John knows. I would be surprised to know that John Mayer, who has been linked to Katy Perry and Jennifer Aniston, stole Jessica's heart and she says she broke him over and over again. We were very intimate. We were great at loving each other, that was easy, but the relationship was very complex and it was always on and off and I went back about nine times and one of the days she broke up with Danny and it was Center Honors, yeah it was the Kennedy Center Honors and he broke up. with me, our third breakup or something, it was right before I did this big thing, it was 2006 and Jessica was scheduled to perform from 9:00 to 5:00 to honor her idol Dolly Parton in the audience President Bush and a room full of dignitaries I drank before going on stage that's not John's fault I'm the one who dragged I just stopped and froze and then I just said I was sorry and that Dolly deserved better Jessica left the stage and I never finished the song revisiting that night and one photo in particular is still hard for her you and Dolly and Reba and Shania this photo that most people would hang in their house is like these as mentors of mine are like country goddesses the story behind that and the story behind it I can't even look at the photo I can't look at my face because I know the pain she was in and I didn't feel worthy of being in that photo in 2009 she was dating Tony Romo who played for the Dallas Cowboys at the time, she said she felt safe when she went on stage at a chili cooking contest in South Carolina, then came the photos, this image that was circulated and spread around the world broke my heart, well not necessarily the image. but the title like all the titles and it was just viral like I was like wait a second, wait.

I'm so confused that she calls that chapter of her book death by mom jeans and says she was a size four when those photos were taken as one of Your first thoughts, although you felt bad for Tony United, I know, I think that comes from other relations. Tony never made me feel that way. I always felt safe when I was with Tony. The world knocked me down when something like that happened. the increase in alcohol consumption, yeah, I mean, I would definitely drink. I'm like I need it when you hear someone say they need it, it's not a good sign.

In 2010 she met her future husband, Eric Johnson, they had two children, but the alcohol consumption did not stop. She says she knew she hit rock bottom on Halloween 2017 when she couldn't remember who dressed her kids and that she will never live like that again. With no alcohol since then, Eric and I left him with me immediately and he said, "It's okay, baby." I'll do it with you, yeah, no big deal, how have you been feeling since you made that decision? Everything in my life has become clear from that very moment through her new music and her memoirs, Jessica hopes that her journey inspires others that she wanted to show. people, the obstacles I had to overcome and the tools I have now to go back and face them.

Now I know what to do with all that, you know it and I'm proud of it. She was talking about how she is on the other side. about that and going back to Dolly Parton's moment, she said that what really hit her was also after everything had failed, she was in her dressing room and Dolly knocked on the door and said: don't worry, honey, sometimes I forget too words. like trying to make her feel better and by the way, about the John Mayer article and if we contacted his people and they said he was not available for comment, then she has a lot to say about John, there's more in the book, the book is available to you
