Jessica Simpson Reveals She Drinks Snake Sperm To Help With Her Vocals

Is it chicken? Is it fish? Is it… snake sperm? Jessica Simpson recently revealed that the “Chinese herb thing” she was drinking for her vocals was actually made of snake sperm.

The American singer and actress has recently returned to music, releasing her EP Nashville Canyon earlier this month — the first time she's released music since 2010. To keep her singing pipes in tip-top shape, her vocal coach recommended a drink with a seriously unexpected ingredient in it. Posting to her Instagram on Friday, the 44-year-old shared a video hanging out in the studio. She takes a swig of her mystery beverage before explaining how her band prompted her to investigate what she’s really drinking.

“They're like, 'What are you drinking?' Because it's this Chinese herb thing,” she says in the video shared with her 6.3M followers.

“And I'm like, 'I don't know.' My vocal coach told me to drink it, and they Googled the ingredients and -- snake sperm,” Simpson continued. Off-camera, someone can be heard screaming “no” in disgust before questioning whether it was like tea. Simpson corrected them, giggling, “It’s like a honey.” “So, if you want a good vocal, you gotta drink snake sperm.” It’s a hard pass from us, Simpson.
