Jessica Simpson appeared to accuse her estranged ex-NFL player husband Eric Johnson of cheating on her in her new song.
Simpson and Johnson announced in January that they had separated following 10 years of marriage. On Friday, Simpson released an EP called “Nashville Canyon, Pt. 1.” In the song “Leave” from the album, Simpson appears to hint at Johnson cheating on her in their marriage.
“What we had was magic / Now you made it tragic / Giving her what you gave to me / Now the well that you drank from’s empty,” she sings. “Did you do to her what you did to me? / Was she on her knees? / Oh, she’s everything but me.”

Simpson added, “I’m letting you go” in the song.
Simpson teased the song with a post on social media in which she said she was excited to share a piece of her heart.
“Leave” is OUT everywhere tonight at midnight. It feels good to finally share this piece of my heart with y’all. #NashvilleCanyon ❤️🩹 pic.twitter.com/TcVC8MqzQF
