Ashlee Simpson has denied claims that she was drunk during a Washington, DC radio interview on Tuesday morning. The Bittersweet World star insists she was “simply tired.” The twenty-three year old appeared on Washington’s Hot 99.5 Kane In The Morning show, where she slurred her words and sounded disoriented.

Ashlee’s rep says:

“Ashlee was absolutely not intoxicated this morning on Hot 99.5. 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.”
