COVID-19 Scare! Jessica Simpson Reveals Positive Test Result In Emotional Essay
Jessica Simpson dropped a bombshell when she told the world she tested positive for COVID-19. The 40-year-old "I Wanna Love You Forever" singer revealed the health scare while promoting her open essay on social media Monday. Taking to her Instagram, the "Dukes of Hazzard" star kept it real with her followers.
Revealing that instead of being full of fear after her positive test, Jessica Simpson used her recovery time to get creative by adding more coins to her bank account. Taking a pen to paper, the star completed her Amazon Original Stories essay which touches on topics like "self-acceptance, parenthood and overcoming fear."
The essay is titled, "TAKE THE LEAD" which Jessica Simpson revealed when she dropped the artwork. Looking barefaced and beautiful, the former pop star glowed while striking a fierce glare at the camera. The billionaire boss babe not only appeared confident in the shot but spoke out about the challenges she's faced over the past year, including her positive COVID-19 result.
"This past year has been especially intense for me and so many of you," Jessica Simpson captioned the photo before sharing the shocking health surprise. "I started writing this essay on the same day I received a positive test result for COVID-19." Adding that while she was scared, she refused to be "driven by fear."
