The post comes months after the singer defended herself against drinking accusations online.

When a fan told the singer she should “stop drinking” under a photo of her 11-year-old son, Ace, Simpson made it very clear where she stood on her sobriety journey.

“I haven’t wanted or touched alcohol since October 2017 and it has been the best decision I’ve made for myself and for my family,” she responded.
