Jessica Simpson ‘Skin And Bones’ As 100-Pound Weight Loss Shocks Fans On 40th Birthday

Jessica Simpson is sparking weight worries – even being told that she looks anorexic. The singer, actress, and “Open Book” author made global headlines for celebrating the last hours of her 30s by fitting into jeans that were 14 years old – Jessica’s True Religion denims formed the basis for her Instagram update ahead of the weekend, but the star is now being told that she looks too skinny.

Jessica famously dropped 100 pounds in just six months following the March 2019 birth of third baby Birdie Mae. The “Dukes of Hazzard” actress now sees countless fans worrying for her well-being, alongside suggesting that the weight loss might have been taken too far.

The Instagram update came as a confident, but low-key home selfie. It showed Jessica in a faded and distressed pair of True Religion jeans, plus a short-sleeved and marble-print hoodie. The mom of three, who tipped the scales at 240 pounds as her third pregnancy took her to her heaviest weight, wrote:

 I have kept these throwback True Religion jeans in my closet for 14 yrs (I’m not exaggerating!). I figured that since I’m in the final hours of my 30’s I’d give them another try, and hello 40, so nice to meet you 🤸🏼‍♀️🙌🏼🥳

Jessica, followed by 5.4 million on Instagram and having made headlines last month for a sweat-drenched workout selfie showing off her ripped frame, now sees a concerned fanbase. Over 180 users liked the following comment.

“I’m a random stranger so I know what I say doesn’t matter. I know it’s hard when millions of fans are telling you how hot you look skinny, but girl, you are vanishing! I think you were absolutely stunning when you were bigger.”

“This is the look of anorexia,” another said, adding:” Not hating! I love u Jessica! But-I’ve had it. Been through it. I know this look. It feels powerful. And it kills the beating heart.”

Fans also slammed the actress for appearing to value fitting into old jeans as a goal – one user, echoing the overall concern, wrote: “I can’t even like this picture…you don’t look the same at all. I’m sorry.”

Jessica’s bombshell weight loss reveal came in September 2019 as she revealed having shed her 100 pounds in just six months. The star’s trainer, Harley Pasternak told Hollywood Life that his client walked up to 10,000 steps a day, also keeping a watchful eye on the calories.

“She would eat one whole egg and three egg whites for breakfast, scrambled with a bowl of blackberries. For lunch she would have a salad with grilled chicken and grilled fish with salad and vegetables for dinner. As for snacks, she would have almonds and sometimes green beans with Parmesan cheese on top. She was very disciplined.”

Despite the weight loss, Jessica has been keeping the food updates strong on her Instagram. Late May saw an upbeat baking photo with daughter Maxwell as the star whipped up a storm in the kitchen to thank fallen U.S. soldiers. 2020 has also seen the star show off her six-layer dip, plus an impressive chili that came with a reveal that Jessica has won chili cook-offs. Remarks were not exclusively geared towards Jessica’s whittled-down frame as her photo went live three days ago. The star was told she looks “about 15” by “Mad Men” actress January Jones, also finding herself showered with birthday wishes.

Jessica’s music and movie career may not be what it once was, but the star has proven a huge talking point this year. Her “Open Book” memoir chronicles her childhood sexual abuse, resulting alcohol and pills addiction, prior relationships, and overall well-being journey.
