About this episode
The episode discusses Jessica Simpson's journey through public challenges and her transformation into a successful lifestyle brand.
This week, I revisit my season three theme: Sirens and Gossip Rag Goddesses of The New Millennium to talk about Jessica Simpson. An obvious pick for this subject, given her harrowing journey through public humiliation, body shaming, and more than one romance that tried to define and then destroy her. She took all the parts of her that were dismissed as dumb, bubblegum fluff, and too basic, and turned them into a profitable and accessible lifestyle brand, and just released the best record of her career. Let's hear it for the girls, and the bubblegum pop that turns into soulful country.
