The Celebrity Truth

Ashlee Simpson’s representative has fired back at claims that the singer was drunk during an appearance on Washington D.C. radio on Tuesday morning (March 4), saying "she was simply just tired".

Simpson has been accused by various gossip bloggers of having slurred speech while on the program, when she showed off her new tattoo – a flower – that she had inked on Monday night, explaining that there was no meaning behind it and that "I just wanted it".

Although she did partially forget the lyrics to her new song, her rep denies that Simpson had been drinking prior to the interview.

"Ashlee was absolutely not intoxicated this morning on Hot 99.5," her rep explained to Perez Hilton.

"She has been working extremely hard traveling across the country to promote her upcoming new album by performing at night and waking up very early the next day to do radio interviews in the morning – like any of us would be – she was simply just tired."
