Jessica Simpson defends drinking snake sperm, describes taste
Jessica Simpson insists drinking snake sperm helps her vocals.
After going viral for revealing her penchant for serpent sludge, the âLeaveâ singer defended her new drink of choice while speaking to a paparazzo Sunday.
âI mean, it just really clears my throat,â she explained to TMZ at Los Angeles International Airport, adding, âIâm just a great singer when I have snake sperm. I canât help it.â
Simpson, 44, shared that the reptilian beverage tastes like âa really dark honey.â
When asked whether she would ever be interested in officially endorsing the Chinese product, the âEmployee of the Monthâ star joked, âWell, I canât even read the bottle, so I donât know how good I would be on some infomercial.â
However, Simpson isnât ruling out hawking her own snake sperm brand one day.
âMaybe Iâll make my own,â she teased. âMaybe, sure. I should do that.â
As for whether she was traveling with the controversial concoction, she clarified, âNo, I couldnât carry it on the plane.â
The fashion designer first revealed that she consumes the viperous semen in an Instagram video posted March 28.
âTheyâre like, âWhat are you drinking?â âCause, you know, itâs, like, this Chinese herb thing,â she said in the clip. âAnd Iâm like, âI donât know. My vocal coach told me to drink it.’â
Simpson said the unnamed person she had been talking to proceeded to Google the ingredients, only to find out the supplement contained snake sperm.
âSo, if you want a good vocal, you gotta drink snake sperm,â she said with a laugh.
Several fans reacted to the pop starâs daring drink in the comments section of her post.
âThe new Chicken of the Sea moment,â one fan wrote, referring to her infamous scene from a 2003 episode of âNewlyweds: Nick and Jessica.â
âLol đ hilarious and still so carefree,â a second supporter chimed in.
âPut her back on TV right now lol,â another added.
Simpson is taking extra care of her voice now that she is back to making music for the first time in 15 years.
Her new EP, âNashville Canyon, Pt. 1,â features the track âLeave,â which suggests her estranged husband, Eric Johnson, cheated on her.
Simpson announced her split from the former NFL player, 45, in January after months of breakup speculation.
The estranged couple share three kids: daughter Maxwell, 12, son Ace, 11, and daughter Birdie, 6.
