Ashlee Simpson Ross recently shared her reflections on her early 2000s MTV reality show, “The Ashlee Simpson Show.” The show, which aired for two seasons starting in 2004, followed the young musician as she navigated recording her first album and embarked on a tour. While Simpson Ross has few regrets from that time, she revealed that there is one aspect that stands out when she watches the show back.
During a recent episode of the Boy Meets World rewatch podcast, Pod Meets World, the 40-year-old Simpson Ross discussed how her own children have started watching “The Ashlee Simpson Show.” She mentioned that her best friends on the show, Stephanie and Lauren, who are also her children’s godmothers, make the experience nostalgic with their shared silly moments.
However, despite the fond memories, Simpson Ross admitted that there is one aspect that she finds challenging to revisit – her own voice on the show. Mimicking her younger, higher-pitched voice, she expressed, “the only thing that kills me is, like, my voice. Like, this voice. I’m like, ‘Oh my god. What is this talking voice? I don’t know.'”
Reflecting on the significance of the show in her life, Simpson Ross acknowledged that hearing her voice on screen can be a cringe-worthy experience. She noted that the show provided a unique window into her life and the changes she was undergoing at the time, particularly as she navigated the process of creating an album without being part of a band.
Having previously appeared on reality television with her sister Jessica Simpson’s MTV show, “Newlyweds,” Simpson Ross contrasted her experiences, mentioning that she is kinder in her reflections now compared to her earlier reactions during filming. She shared how she would sometimes react with impatience during the filming of “Newlyweds,” indicating a growth in her demeanor over the years.
Simpson Ross’s candid reflections on her MTV reality show experience offer fans a glimpse into the behind-the-scenes aspects of celebrity life and the challenges of revisiting past moments in the public eye. Her honesty about her own insecurities, such as her voice, adds a relatable dimension to her journey documented on the show.
