During a 2005 interview with People’s Magazine, Simpson talked about hitting the gym to build her butt for the film. She said, “I don’t have a butt, so I do a lot of squats… I can’t stop myself from things because then I obsess about them and end up eating. I watched my diet and was in the gym to walk with pride. My body is definitely an achievement.”

One of the moments Simpson’s body gained public attention was after her performance at the 2009 Florida Chilli Cookoff. At the time, she had just split from her ex-husband and “The Ultimatum” host, Nick Lachey, and was criticized for her curvy body.
Six months later, the topic of Simpson’s weight resurfaced after he performed at the ATT Golf Tournament. During a 2009 interview with Glamour, he responded to the criticism. Simpson said it’s unfair that “women look in the mirror and feel disgusted by what society has made them believe about beauty.”

Lachey also defended his ex-wife when speaking with Associated Press at that time. She said, “It’s ridiculous that the media is making such a big deal about her weight gain.”
