Jessica Simpson confessed that her stint as a runway model in Paris for her show The Price of Beauty made her so nervous that she "almost puked"!
"Going to Paris, I had to walk a runway with all these tall skinny models and I almost puked I was so nervous," she said today at the Television Critics Association in Pasadena.
"I mean, I can walk a red carpet but walking a runway, I will be the first to fall on my face," Jess continued. "And thank god I didn't. But I was so nervous to walk out there and be judged. To just put myself out there like that. Especially next to people that eat just salad!"
It's no secret that Jessica has struggled with her weight in the past. But she said shooting the show has helped her accept herself as she is.
"I haven't always had an inner confidence and I haven't always looked at my reflection and loved it. There's always something I've wanted to fix because there's always somebody that looks better," said the singer who's plumped her lips in the past. "And that's what we always try to compare ourselves to. I think the journey really was finding what is beautiful inside of me and knowing that I own it and it's unique. It was a very powerful journey," she said.
The show took Jessica around the world, from India, to Japan, Thailand, France, Brazil, Uganda, and Morocco.
The series premieres on VH1 on March 15th.
