Jessica Simpson shared a six-year-old photo of herself taken on the date she decided to stop drinking.
In the photo, Simpson sits on the couch in a pink tracksuit, lost in thought as a sunbeam illuminates her face.
Simpson had originally posted the photo to her Instagram on November 1, 2021, to celebrate her four years of sobriety.
On Thursday, she shared the picture again via her story, and wrote: “6 years ago.”
In the 2021 post’s caption, she wrote, “This person in the early morning of Nov 1, 2017 is an unrecognizable version of myself. I had so much self discovery to unlock and explore. I knew in this very moment I would allow myself to take back my light, show victory over my internal battle of self respect, and brave this world with piercing clarity.”
Simpson explained that her reliance on alcohol made her exhausted, her “mind and heart circling in the same direction.

The scripted pilot based on Jessica Simpson’s bestselling memoir “Open Book” is not moving forward at Amazon Freevee, Variety has confirmed. Phil Lord and Chris Miller’s period comedy “Western” has also been scrapped, though both potential series are now being shopped elsewhere.
The pilot for “Open Book” was ordered by Amazon Freevee back in October, with Tom Kapinos set to write and executive produce and Adam Bernstein on board as a director and executive producer. Katelyn Tarver would play Sadie Sparrow, a young singer based on Simpson, while John Stamos was cast as her older songwriter, Butch. Over time, the two would develop a connection that went beyond music.
Simpson was set to executive produce the project, along with Patrick Moran for his Pkm Productions and Amazon Studios. Lauren Auslander and Lacy Lynch were also on board as executive producers.

Chris Cuomo says CNN has done him wrong.
“I believe that was taken, I believe wrongly,” Cuomo said of the news network taking his job. He was speaking on Anthony Scaramucci’s podcast, “Open Book,” which aired Wednesday.
“I will litigate that. I am not going to bitch about it in the press.”
Cuomo already has a 125 million arbitration claim against CNN underway
But the former newscaster also talked of a darker time in the aftermath of his job loss. Cuomo said at one point he was “going to kill everybody and myself.” He added later that he sought therapy on those thoughts.
Cuomo was fired by CNN in late 2021 after it was uncovered that he was helping his brother, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, as he fought sexual harassment allegations.
Cuomo is now with NewsNation, hosting Cuomo, a primetime talk show.

Former CNN news anchor Chris Cuomo was fired from the cable network back in 2021 and was so upset about the situation he was “going to kill everybody” and himself. Cuomo opened up about the situation on Anthony Scramucci’s Open Book podcast on Wednesday, January 15, saying, “I make a lot of mistakes. Sometimes for good reasons, sometimes for bad reasons. I’m very flawed. There’s damage. There’s damage that’s relatable to people. There’s damage that’s unrelatable to people that I have to deal with. That I try to deal with. That I do the work on. I still fail.” The long-time broadcast journalist was let go from CNN after reports came out that he had helped his brother, then-New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, fight sexual harassment allegations. “I have learned to accept it,” he continued. “I had to accept because I was gonna kill everybody,...
