As OK! previously reported, after the success of the initial launch of her memoir Open Book, the singer announced in December that she's now set to bring her shocking story to the small screen. While the fashion mogul has yet to announce any more details, it's safe to say that the series will delve into some heavy topics that were touched upon in her book, including childhood abuse, alcohol addiction and body image issues.

In the bestseller, the “Take My Breath Away” songstress revealed that she had been sexually abused from ages 6-12 by someone she knew very well. “The daughter of a family friend was abusing me when my parents brought us for overnight stays,” she explained. “After lights out, I would feel her hands on me. It would start with tickling my back and then going into things that were extremely uncomfortable.”

Simpson also doesn’t plan to hold back when it comes to her whirlwind romance with singer John Mayer, who she says brought out all her insecurities. "Jess is going to tell all,” a source dished to OK!. “John didn’t do right by Jessica. He thought he was smarter and treated her like a dumb blonde — now that dumb blonde has a multimillion-dollar deal with Amazon."
