Simpson first rose to fame in the late 1990s alongside pop peers including Britney Spears , Christina Aguilera and Mandy Moore .
Her 1999 debut single “I Wanna Love You Forever” quickly established her as a musical force, climbing to No.
3 on the Billboard Hot 100 — still her highest-charting song to date.
She went on to sell more than 20 million records globally before becoming a reality TV star on MTV’s Newlyweds: Nick & Jessica , which followed her then-marriage to 98 Degrees singer Nick Lachey .
Simpson eventually built a fashion empire that grew into a billion-dollar brand while also become a New York Times bestselling author with her 2020 memoir Open Book .
The memoir exposes some candid notes about her relationships, career, struggles and even her personal life, making her story particularly suited for a documentary that promises to go deeper than the headlines.
More recently, Simpson has been stepping back into music.
After a 15-year break from releasing original material, she returned last year with Nashville Canyon: Part 1 and Nashville Canyon: Part 2 , a pair of EPs featuring deeply personal songs that allowed the Texas-born singer to enter a new era of her life.
