Jessica Simpson addressed the criticism surrounding her body in a new interview with 'Access Hollywood.'
, the singer-slash-actress spoke out against people criticizing her weight and how she is trying to set a body-positive example for her children.
"I think that more than weight that people have focused on, we need to focus on our mentality about even talking about weight," she said, before ultimately declaring: "I think it just doesn’t need to be a conversation.” Simpson went on to explain that the media's fascination with body has had an effect on her kids. "It’s very confusing to them because they’re like, ‘Well I don’t even understand this, why don’t they just say you look pretty, Mom? You look pretty,’” Simpson said of her two daughters Maxwell and Birdie, as well as her son Ace, whom she shares with her husband Eric Johnson. “And I’m like, ‘Honey, I wish I could explain it.
Setting an example for her children, Jessica says she doesn't "complain" about her body in front of them or talk about dieting. "They just see me living a a healthy lifestyle," she explained, adding that she also "quit drinking" to be a "good role model."
