Ashlee Simpson blast critics who attacked her sister Jessica’s figure The 24-year-old singer has defended her older sibling – who was photographed wearing unflattering high-waisted jeans at a recent Florida concert with a seemingly fuller figure – insisting the comments about Jessica’s weight are “embarrassing and belittling”. She wrote on her blog: "I am completely disgusted. Since when did a woman's weight become newsworthy? How can we expect teenage girls to love and respect themselves in an environment where we criticise a size two figure? “A week after the inauguration of US President Barack Obama 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.” DJ Scott Simon, who interviewed Jessica during the Florida show on Sunday (25.01.09), has dismissed claims the 28-year-old has lost her good looks. He said: “People are saying she put on a few pounds. But she looked fabulous. Confident, healthy and happy.” Even her former personal trainer Harley Pasternak has slammed claims that Jessica is fat, saying: "She has curves where a woman needs to have curves. She's still sexy. She's still a beautiful woman. And I have no problem with the way she looks." Jessica’s American football star boyfriend Tony Romo is also a fan of her sexy figure. A source said: “He thinks Jess is hot no matter what. He wants to date a girl who can have a few beers, ribs, fries and dessert.” |
