Reality TV star, pop singer and now budding country singer Jessica Simpson has revealed that she was a victim of abuse.

Simpson said that a song on her new album, "Do You Know," is based on her own experience of abuse.

The 28-year-old, however, did not reveal the details of the alleged abuse.

'I have definitely experienced abuse in a way that I would tell people to take their heart and run,' she said.

‘So many people want to bring me down, and I can’t wait to prove them wrong,’ she added.

‘If [people] believe what they read about me, they automatically persecute and torment me.’

Currently, the ex-wife of pop singer Nick Lachey is dating football star Tony Romo.
