Jessica Simpson's drunken appearance on Ellen
In 2017, Jessica Simpson stunned audiences by appearing on The Ellen DeGeneres Show while visibly intoxicated. Her stories made no sense, her words were slurred, and her behavior seemed erratic. In 2020, Simpson went on Today and explained that it was a "weak moment" for her. "I had started a spiral and I couldn't catch up with myself, and that was with alcohol," she conceded.
