Jessica Simpson says her vocal coach encouraged her to drink a honey-like herbal drink to improve her singing voice. The 44-year-old singer didn’t know exactly what the drink was, but later learned that it contains snake sperm. In a video shared on Instagram, she explained why she drinks it — and some fans were concerned.
Jessica described the drink as a ‘Chinese herb thing.’
On Friday, March 28, Jessica shared a video in which she’s drinking the beverage recommended by her vocal coach. “They’re like, ‘What are you drinking?’ Because it’s this Chinese herb thing,'” she said in the clip. Admittedly, Jessica didn’t know what she was drinking. “I’m like, ‘I don’t know. My vocal coach told me to drink it,'” she said.
After doing some research, she found out ‘snake sperm’ was listed as an ingredient.
Without naming the drink or explaining where exactly she found this information, Jessica went on to say that “they Googled the ingredients” and found out that the drink has “snake sperm” in it. Someone asked Jessica if the drink was like a kind of tea, and she said, “It’s like a honey.”
“If you want a good vocal, you got to drink snake sperm,” she added.
Some fans found the video hilarious.
While some of Jessica’s fans commented on the video to ask her how the drink tastes, many fans focused on Jessica’s sense of humor and how happy she appeared to be.
“She seems so happy, I hope she truly is,” one fan wrote. “What a light! Always have loved her!”
Another person wrote that Jessica is “hilarious and still so carefree.” Some fans even saw the clip as a sign that Jessica should have her own show.
“Put her back on TV right now lol,” a third fan commented.
But others were concerned about the snake sperm drink.
On Reddit, people were more skeptical of the idea that drinking snake sperm can improve one’s singing voice.
“But like … she could sing before the snake sperm, right?” one person wrote.
Another person saw the recommendation from Jessica and her vocal coach as an example of “celebrities and their weird health regimens.”
Others were simply concerned. “Wait–what?” a third person wrote.
A fourth person added, “I miss the days when we knew less about each other.”
Jessica Simpson recently released new music for the first time in years.
It’s unclear whether the snake sperm drink has anything to do with it, but Jessica is currently making a comeback. On March 21, she released a new EP. Prior to that, she hadn’t released any new music in more than 15 years.
Her separation from her husband, Eric Johnson, has reportedly influenced her music. During a recent performance, she said, “I was out in Nashville and I had my heart wide open, I was in a very intuitive state and I had to ask some very personal questions on the home front. I found out that my world had been turned upside down and that life was very different. I am now a very single lady.”
