Jessica Simpson appeared on the Home Shopping Network on Thursday to promote her clothing line, but she seemed unsteady as she teetered on black high heels and slurred her words, Us Weekly reported. Simpson made her network debut to sell her new line, the Jessica Simpson 10th Anniversary Collection, but fans were too distracted by her seemingly drunk behavior.
Simpson joined HSN host Colleen Lopez on stage to discuss her "Kiss Me" super skinny jean in gray at one point during the two-hour "sell-a-thon." In an attempt to sell her jeans, Simpson told a story about her younger sister, fellow pop star Ashlee, but she swayed and slurred her words.
"Ashlee is like the best at wearing gray, my sister," Simpson said, looking like she struggled with keeping her balance. "Like she's very rock and roll, but there is something about a gray that's like sexy."
"Maybe it's her and her husband (Evan Ross) that share jeans, I have no idea," Simpson laughed as she continued to ramble, "but no, there's something hot about them."
Fans commented on Simpson's behavior on social media using the hashtag "#JessicaOnHSN," and many assumed that the former pop star was drunk or high during her appearance, according to People. However, the network issued a positive statement after Simpson's appearance.
"It was fun to have Jessica make her HSN debut with her mother Tina last night," HSN said in a statement obtained by People. "We were happy to host them and thrilled with the way customers responded to the collection."
