Jessica Simpson is in the midst of some major life changes. She and her mother bought back her eponymous fashion line, she’s moved to Nashville for her return to music, and she’s been separated from Eric Johnson — her husband of 10 years and father of their three kids — for about a year, though neither has filed for divorce yet. That’s a lot. But change is movement, and movement can be growth, and Jessica is already seeing the fruits of some of her new labors. On March 21, Jessica released her first album in 15 years, the EP Nashville Canyon, Pt. 1. I remember in previous coverage of Jessica teasing the new music, a few people commented that it would behoove her to engage a vocal coach. The good news is, she has! The less good verging on creepy news is, her vocal coach recommended Jessica drink snake juice. And by “juice” I mean jizz. She’s drinking snake sperm to help her voice. But is it chicken or is it fish?
Jessica Simpson is sharing the secret behind her smooth vocals.
On Friday, March 28, the singer, 44, posted a candid video on Instagram in which she reveals that she drinks “snake sperm” at the recommendation of her vocal coach.
The video showed Simpson drinking the Chinese herbal drink in a stylish yellow floral dress and a fuzzy blue jacket while explaining its purpose to her confused band.
“They’re like, ‘What are you drinking?’ Because it’s this Chinese herb thing,” she said. “And I’m like, ‘I don’t know.’ My vocal coach told me to drink it.”
The “Blame Me” singer continued to share that her coach looked up the ingredients and found it contains “snake sperm.”
When asked if the unconventional beverage was similar to tea, she compared it to honey.
Ultimately, Simpson said the drink has improved her singing voice. “If you want a good vocal, you got to drink snake sperm,” she advised.
The former reality star captioned the video post with three emojis: a microphone, a snake, and a test tube filled with a green substance.
Simpson released her new EP, Nashville Canyon, Pt. 1, on March 21. In a post on Instagram celebrating the album release that day, she reflected on how music brings her joy and freedom.
“I sing because I’m happy, I sing because I’m free. His eyes are on the sparrow and I know He watches me. God told me I needed to feel the fear and do it anyway as I’m moving into my truth while embracing the beauty and uncertainty. And so I did…” she wrote in the post’s caption.
The singer continued to explain that the EP “is the result of learning to hear my heart again, free from industry expectations. It’s about surrendering, letting my voice be my main guide and trusting the journey ahead.”
My brain has gone to so many places in processing this brief video. So thank you, Jessica, for stimulating my intellectual curiosity. First of all, I texted my best friend who is a singer, to ask if he’s ever had a vocal coach prescribe this virile elixir. He has not. Next I thought, if I were advised by a mentor to imbibe snake sperm, I’d probably contact his other pupils to check in, “Hey, were you told to drink this, too?” Just to confirm this person wasn’t pranking me. At this point I took a little detour ruminating on how Evangelists might use this as proof of the link between singing and the devil. Then I wondered, how are the samples, um, extracted? And I realized I know shockingly little about snake reproduction. And then my mind really broke open and I started speculating on the correlation between snake species and vocal type. As in, if you are an alto, you need Garter snake juice; soprano, go for the Anaconda; bass, obviously King cobra, and so on. What?! I’m a scientist! If I don’t ask these questions, who will?!
Anyway, remember this revelation came on Instagram, the same platform on which Jessica has recently been shooting her shot with Jeremy Renner. Can’t wait to see how this affects Jeremy’s interest!
I mean did Pavarotti do this? does Celine Dion do this? im guessing no they just have/had talent. those poor snakes we just cant let animals live
I once heard someone say “she’s about as clever as a box of hair.”
And that phrase pops into my mind when I see a story about Jessica Simpson.
Kismet, I had to laugh because my brain would go through similar jumps in topics and rabbit holes.
I hope Jessica is happy and healthy, for her sake and her kids’ sake. And if she’s singing because she’s happy, good for her.
Quite, I too have QUESTIONS.
Come on Nat Geo, do your thing.
She looks and sounds awful. It sounds like she’s drunk and slurring her words or is it just me?
I’ve been following her news with this latest album, and it has been like that in a lot of of her videos. She may be taking something, but I also think that she has so much lip filler and Botox that her mouth is just not moving in a natural way.
Some careers should have expiration dates, and this is one that has gone WAY past it.
Sounds weird, but then again think about how much bug and rat feces is “allowed” in peanut butter and everything else we eat… on second thought, don’t think about that at all!
As a speech pathologist – if the snake “juice” is meant to contact or otherwise lubricate the vocal cords, she is actually aspirating the liquid and is at risk of becoming ill. What kind of bupkis is this nonsense? Honey, lemon tea, or other liquids may make the throat feel better and moisturize the mucosa of the pharynx, but only contact the vocal folds when someone has dysphagia (difficulty swallowing). Rant over – sorry!
I have to say I 🥰 her latest single….and THAT HAS NEVA HAPPENED TO ME REGARDING HER 🎶
I will REFRAIN from speaking on ANYTHING ELSE REGARDING JESSICA 😲
This is just stupid and attention grabbing.
Also she needs to update her look, it’s the same one she’s had for 20 years, it wasn’t great then and certainly not now.
This is the day that I have nothing good to say so I will just be quiet. Man this is so hard!!
I’m seriously considering sending this to my singing teacher JUST to see her reaction to it.
I hope she’s ok because she looks and sounds horrible. She has a Melania face. It is tight and caved-in with huge lips.
She looks like she has and has had an eating disorder FOR YEARS. I truly hope she has someone in her orbit who really cares for her. ☹️
Someone please just get her a bottle of water instead.
