Jessica Simpson Refutes $1,000-a-Week Tanning Claim

She traces the claim to a 2014 report from TVNZ.

Overview

  • In a new Elle interview, Simpson says she never spent $1,000 per week on tanning or ran a million‑dollar yearly beauty routine.
  • She explains that heavy tanning only occurred during the 2005 Dukes of Hazzard shoot, using spray tans, body makeup, and a base tan for on‑camera consistency.
  • She now stresses sun safety, saying she sprays sunscreen on herself and her children and looks for healthier ways to get color.
  • The rumor grew from a 2014 TVNZ item that listed eye‑popping alleged costs, which other outlets repeated over the years.
  • People, Billboard, Page Six, Us Weekly, and others published her remarks from Elle, updating widely shared claims about her beauty spending.
