It wasn’t the first time fans thought Simpson might’ve been inebriated on TV.
Fans who watched Jessica Simpsons on The Ellen DeGeneres Show in May 2017 cracked jokes that maybe Simpson was drunk or on something at the time.
The interview was awkward to watch, with Ellen occasionally turning to the camera for “oh boy” looks after some of Simpson’s flighty or rambling comments.
Turns out, Simpson was going through a rough patch at the time, and now we know that interview was taped during the height of her issues with alcohol.
