Simpson claimed she was 17 at the time and weighed 118 pounds (via toofab)
"He wanted to sign me," writes Simpson in an excerpt of the memoir, which was published in the February 2020 issue of PEOPLE. "And then he said, 'You gotta lose fifteen pounds.'"
"What?" she recalls saying. "I was five-foot-three and weighed 118." But Jessica claims Tommy explained to her, "That's what it will take to be Jessica Simpson." After that, the aspiring pop star "immediately went on a strict diet, and started taking diet pills, which I would do for the next twenty years." And with the weight loss, the label urged her to "show more skin."
"I started to hear voices when I was alone at night, waiting for the sleeping pill to kick in: 'Do more sit-ups, fat ass,'" she recalls. "By the time we got to the release of my second album's first single, 'Irresistible,' I was down to 103 pounds. Everyone went on about how great I looked, but I couldn't enjoy it because I was so freaking hungry."
