Simpson opened up in her 2020 memoir \"Open Book\" about using alcohol to self-medicate and dull the pain of her being sexually abused when she was a child as well as to cope with the stress of fame.

The moment Simpson decided to give up alcohol and go sober, she said at the time, came after a Halloween party at her house in 2017.
