Jessica Simpson has recently revealed intriguing insights about her past romantic involvement with musician John Mayer in her latest memoir, “Open Book.”
Their paths first crossed at a pre-Grammys gathering back in 2005, where Simpson discloses that Mayer initiated contact by sending her notes.
Following Simpson’s separation from her then-husband Nick Lachey later that year, she ventured back into the dating scene, and it was during this time that Mayer made his intentions clear, expressing a desire to have an all-encompassing relationship.
Detailing the intensity of their connection in her memoir, Simpson candidly writes about how Mayer repeatedly professed his obsession with her, both s**ually and emotionally.
Despite the undeniable chemistry between them, Simpson confesses to grappling with feelings of inadequacy, believing herself to be intellectually inferior to Mayer.
Simpson delves further into her emotional struggles, revealing how her insecurities fueled her reliance on alcohol as a coping mechanism.
She shares that her anxiety would often peak, prompting her to turn to alcohol as a means of alleviating her nerves.
Years after their relationship came to an end, Mayer caused quite a stir in 2010 with his controversial remarks about Simpson, dubbing her “s**ual napalm” in an interview with Playboy.
Simpson expresses her shock and embarrassment upon learning of Mayer’s comments, emphasizing her dismay at the thought of her grandmother reading such explicit descriptions about her.
In response to Mayer’s public statements, Simpson reflects on how his words served as a catalyst for her decision to walk away from the relationship, ultimately leading her to delete his contact information.
The fallout from Mayer’s revealing interview marked a turning point for Simpson, prompting her to reevaluate her connection with the renowned singer-songwriter.
In addition to her revelations about her past with Mayer, Simpson also touches upon her journey towards sobriety and revisits the traumatic experiences of abuse she endured during her childhood.
Today, happily married to former NFL player Eric Johnson, Simpson’s memoir offers a poignant reflection on her past relationships, personal struggles, and ultimate path to healing and happiness.
