Jessica Simpson Fans Believe She’s Plotting A ‘Revenge’ Show

Jessica Simpson’s latest Instagram post has fans buzzing with speculation that she might be making a return to reality TV, and some are wondering if it could include details about her high-profile split from estranged husband Eric Johnson.

The singer and fashion mogul, who first shot to reality TV fame in the early 2000s with “Newlyweds: Nick & Jessica” alongside ex-husband Nick Lachey, has since focused on her acting, fashion empire, and now, a long-awaited return to music.

Jessica Simpson’s upcoming country album, “Nashville Canyon,” is already being described as a “gritty” and deeply personal project, with insiders calling it the “soundtrack to her soul.”

But in a recent post promoting the album, eagle-eyed followers noticed a cameraman trailing her, capturing her every move. The man in question, Schuyler Howie, is a video producer, documentarian, and photographer, sparking speculation that a new reality project could be in the works.

“Is that guy lurking behind her filming her new reality TV series?” one fan commented, while another joked, “Hope she is making ‘Not A Newlywed: Jessica & More Jessica Only.’” Some wondered if the footage could be part of a documentary or reality series chronicling her post-divorce journey and the making of her revenge album.

Simpson confirmed her split from Johnson in January, revealing they had been living separately for some time. While she has kept the details of their separation private, her new music appears to tell a different story.

In an emotional message teasing the album, she wrote:

“Music makes you un-become to become, and through this process my soul has been pulled to the very place it belongs. To the girl I was, I love you. To the woman I am, I am proud of you. To the woman I am becoming, I am excited for you… let’s do this… it’s GO TIME.”

With lyrics like, “Go on / Use my heart against me / Double down like I’m your whisky,” it’s clear Simpson isn’t shying away from her personal struggles. Insiders say the album, which was recorded in Nashville and Los Angeles, is deeply personal, drawing comparisons to Alanis Morissette’s Jagged Little Pill for its raw emotion.

Earlier this year, Jessica Simpson spoke out about her separation, acknowledging the emotional challenges they have faced while reassuring fans that their children remain their top priority.

In a heartfelt statement to People, the singer and fashion mogul confirmed that she and Johnson have been living separately as they navigate the difficult transition.

“Eric and I have been living separately, navigating a painful situation in our marriage,” Simpson shared.

Despite their split, the former couple is committed to maintaining a strong co-parenting relationship for their three children, daughter Maxwell, 12, son Ace, 11, and daughter Birdie, 5.

“Our children come first, and we are focusing on what is best for them,” Simpson continued. “We are grateful for all of the love and support that has been coming our way, and appreciate privacy right now as we work through this as a family.”

Simpson and Johnson, a former NFL player, tied the knot in 2014 after four years of dating. Their nearly decade-long marriage came to an end in early 2024, marking the conclusion of a high-profile love story that began with their whirlwind romance in 2010.

Simpson has been working alongside renowned musicians, including JD McPherson, John Osborne, and Lucie Silvas, to craft an album that reflects her journey. A source told Daily Mail that she’s been pouring her emotions into every song:

“It will be about her broken heart, so yeah, I guess you can call it a revenge, a heartbreak album. When Jessica writes music, she pours her heart into it and has no filter. It’s very personal.”

For now, fans will have to wait to see whether she’s planning a full-fledged reality series, a documentary, or simply behind-the-scenes footage for future content remains to be seen.

One thing is certain. Jessica Simpson isn’t holding back, and her next chapter is shaping up to be her most revealing yet.
