Ashlee Simpson defends Jessica Simpson’s weight gain
Her sister and her fitness training are coming to her defense.
Ashlee Simpson wrote a statement on her blog that said “I am completely disgusted by the headlines concerning my sister’s weight. Since when did a woman’s weight become newsworthy. A week after the inauguration and with such a feeling of hope in the air for our country, I find it completely embarrassing and belittling to all women to read about a woman’s weight or figure.”
“All women come in different shapes, sizes, and forms and just because you’re a celebrity, there shouldn’t be a different standard. How can we expect teenage girls to love and respect themselves in an environment where we criticize a size 2 figure? Now can we focus on the things that really matter.”
I agree with every word Ashlee said. Yes, Jessica gained a few pounds, but so what? She’s still skinny to me. She might not weigh 100 pounds anymore, but that’s okay.
Her boyfriend Tony Romo doesn’t seem to care about weight, so no one else should either. Besides, everyone’s weight fluctuates from time to time, including mine.
