Jessica Simpson is on the cover of the latest issue of Elle Magazine… She talks about how her dad doesn’t interfere in her relationships, gushes over Tony Romo as usual, and then reveals she was once in an abusive relationship?? She doesn’t say with who…
The dark years of Jessica Simpson also apparently included abuse. She says that her forthcoming album will include a song called “Remember That†by the Nashville songwriters Rachel Proctor and Victoria Banks that she hopes will deliver a message to abused women. “It doesn’t matter how he hurts you,†she sings, “With his hands or with his words/ You don’t deserve it/ It ain’t worth it/ Take your heart and run.â€
“I had to record that,†Jessica says. “There’s nothing on my album you’re gonna hear that I don’t relate to or that I haven’t experienced. Because the only way I know how to sing is from life experience.â€
“Are you thinking of anybody in particular when you sing that?†I ask.
“That is a personal question that I do want to keep to myself,†she says. “But I know that I sing it with experience.â€
“I understand you’ve felt emotionally abused,†I say, “but you’re not telling me that you’ve experienced physical abuse as well, are you?â€
She stops to ponder her response. She finally says, “I don’t want to talk about it, but I have definitely experienced abuse in a way that I would tell people to take their heart and run.â€
It’s just odd because she was so young when she met Nick, and it doesn’t seem like she’d be talking about him… so what actually happened? Or is she just embellishing to try to sell some country albums??

1This is off topic, but since I haven’t seen J. Simpson in pretty much forever, I actually looked through the pictures. She looks really fit like she’s been working out but those clothes and the overly curly hair makes her look like Western Barbie or something. She just looks plastic and her attempts at looking “sexy” just look silly to me. Like, “Oh, yes, to play this piano I have to pull the slit of my skirt up to my armpits! Its just normal for me, I’m not posing!!!” I wish she’d do the country thing more subtly. Its not like all country music fans even look and dress like that at all! She could just wear jeans and cowboy boots without wearing a hat and a loud plaid shirt and giant belt buckle. I don’t know, she just looks fake considering she used to be into the whole pop music scene before this. It makes me more suspicious!!!

2Maybe this is just because I can’t stand her…But I don’t buy into the fact that she was in an abusive relationship. I would give her a little more credit and sympathy if she wrote the song herself, but give me a break.

3Ok not everyone who sings country music wears plaid and cowboy boots. I mean she should try riding a bull or milking cows because isnt that what country people do? She is such an idiot. She doesnt write her own songs and so they have no meaning to her. She is like a puppet with her Daddy pulling the strings. ROMO PLEASE DUMP HER

4I’d guess when she used to do the walk of shame in her affairs, cheating on NICK, she felt abused.. but she really can’t remember after the drugs and boozing that went on which guy it was that might have been abusive ..ha ha!
