Reports are in that Jessica Simpson has joined the ranks of notable performers who have had an accidental mishap on stage, as she reportedly urinated during a live performance on the “Today” show on Wednesday.
The pop star delivered a medley for NBC’s morning program as part of their summer concert series. Her professionalism was so seamless that the audience remained unaware of the incident.
\But Page Six hears that after the “Newlyweds” returned backstage after her performance, she… spilled… to people in the greenroom.
Those high notes can be hazardous, it seems.
It’s pretty common, in fact. Greats including Pattie Labelle, Fergie, Joe Jonas, Ed Sheeran, and Hugh Jackman have all had onstage bathroom mishaps.
Similarly, Hugh Jackman once mentioned on Rachael Ray’s show that while acting in “Beauty and the Beast” in the early days of his career, he consumed large amounts of water to alleviate headaches.
“I go down to the stage, getting ready for my first number…and I’m like I really need to go again,” he said, “[The routine is] the most cardiovascular song I’ve ever done: literally I’m picking up Belle and as I pick her up, I stopped singing and right in that moment I realized the muscles you need to release in order to sing are the ones you do not want to release if you need to go.”
Anything to make a big splash in showbusiness!
Simpson herself hasn’t been shy about her public peeing. In 2023 she posted a picture of herself at a photoshoot with the caption, “When you gotta go, you gotta go. Set life.” It showed her squatting in the corner of what appears to be a large tent.
NBC declined to comment and a rep for Simpson didn’t get back to us.
