Jessica Simpson on HSN

Lvqfan — Thu, 03 Mar 2022 13:05:26 GMT

I feel so sorry for any show host who has to do a show with her. She just sits there and never says a word. Luckily, her mother is there to try to fill in with a couple of words, but it's like pulling teeth to get any information or enthusiasm out of her for her products.

Yes but what do you expect. She was the one that thought chicken of the sea was chicken

I watched the TS hour with Callie. It was such an uncomfortable train wreck! Callie deserved hazard pay for that hour.

Jessica seems very sweet, but she had a very hard time putting a full sentence together. She sat with a blank look, or said something like, "yeah," "I like it," it's so nice." She rarely answered Callie's questions, instead she relied on trying to be funny and rely on her mother.

Now I know why her mother is always on with her. But her mother is not much better. It's like she's there to be Jessica's emotional support person. Neither of them can speak properly about the designs, or answer Callie's questions beyond the giggles or the same pat phrases. At one point they just chatted about who knows what, while Callie was patiently waiting for them to answer her question about sizing of the dress.

I had to turn away.

It's likely JS just got paid to slap her name on some clothes and actually can't speak about the line because she knows nothing about it.

I once bought a pair of her shoes. Black suede with a wedge heel. Soooo cute. So 1940s look. They are very uncomfortable and would you believe I love them so much I didn't send them back? And of course the box just sits in my closet. Sometimes I worry about myself. Sorry to go off topic.

That ever whirling foot was beyond distracting, bordering on obnoxious.

What a waste of good air time.

I was watching a little of it on repeat this morning while I got ready for work. I had to change the channel because I couldn't stand any of it.

Her mom is overbearing. When JS did try to say anything, her mom often just spoke right over the top. There was no actual information given about the item by either of them. The audio was terrible and was muffled and buzzing through some of what I saw.

I also find Callie to be a very disingenuous host. I always have. The whole part of the presentation I saw was fluff from everyone involved.

JS has been at this for a very long time and has always been like this. I remember what a trainwreck she was when she had that beauty line and was on QVC presenting it. The first time she presented her clothing line on HSN, it was so bad, it was all over the internet how awful it was and how spaced out she was.

I believe at one point, maybe still even now, her clothing line was the most successful celeb clothing line out there.

I've only ordered a pair of shoes from her line. They were a high, pointy toed pump. They were the most comfortable pumps I owned. They lasted years. I hated to have to get rid of them.

Thats too bad, because I bought a couple of her sweaters years ago at Macy's and love them!!!

Some people just aren't cut out for being on the "air" like that, and maybe she should think about getting a rep to help her out instead of her mom...

Jessica seems very sweet, and I have always liked her, but I have seen her on air, and I don't feel like it is a good fit....

I remember watching her in the past on HSN and she was a disaster! I too saw the repeat early thismorning of last nights show and thought why on earth does HSN even allow this??? She is so bad at it, she needs a rep to take her place on air and the mother is awful too. Not interested in another "celebrity" line because it's all a bunch of BS half the time. As another poster said, she knows nothing about the line and simply just gets paid for her name, which frankly I don't keven think she's that famous but whatever........I happen to think Callie is an excellent host and I just felt so bad for her trying to save the whole presentation.

I was watching the encore presentation this whenmorning and I was thinking the samething. Her mother did all of the talking while she just sat there staring into space. I do have a few of her sweaters that I purchased from Marshall's and really like them. I wouldn't pay the price that HSN is asking.

I used to watch that reality show she was in with her first husband, Nick Lachey. There was one episode, where she threw a giant pile of laundry from the 2nd floor to the entry area. She didn't know how to do laundry! Her mom did it for her when she visited. Wow!

Hopefully she knows how to do laundry now since she is now a mom if 3 kids.

I have never watched her do a presentation, so cannot comment on that. But, I LOVE her jeans. I must have at least 15 pairs. All of them purchased at Costco over the past several years. I never paid over $20 for any of them, most purchased for less than $15.

They fit me so perfectly, like I was the fit model for them! I have a rather flat behind and slimmer hips and thighs. My waist is average. I sometimes have trouble with baggy thigh area or too tight waist area if they fit my hips and thighs. But her jeans work for me.

I didn't know that about her, I didn't see the presentation but I am drawn to her style when I see her items in a store.

I don't know about her laundry prowess but I take reality shows with a grain of salt, they are not as unscripted as they want us to believe.

@pupwhipped

I wasn't watching (and won't be watching), but your comments made me laugh.

We are likely sisters-separated-at-birth, because THAT is something I would notice and it would drive me crazy.

Is there something wrong with us?

I bought one of her handbags many, many years ago and it's still a favorite of mine. I also think her bedding is really pretty, although I haven't bought anything in that area yet.

hey @Judaline we kind of look alike!

I'm sure you both look like your photos. I remember when Jessica Simpson had a make up line at Walgreen's. Aimed at teenagers. I worked for Maybelline at one time and judged imediately that the line would fail due to its pricing structure. It did.
