Sister Ashlee Defends Jessica Simpson's Fuller Figure

Jessica Simpson recently performed at a concert in Florida wearing high-waisted jeans, obviously gaining pounds. As photos of her Radio 99.9 Kiss performance surfaced on the internet, the fashion critics were quick to blast her fuller figure. Little did they know, the sexy singer has a feisty sister who would be quick to defend her when it comes to weight issues – the equally successful pop rock singer Ashlee Simpson.


Ashlee Simpson wrote on her blog about how "embarrassing and belittling" were the comments for her fuller sister. Her journal reads,

“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."

Aside from sister Ashlee Simpson, there were also other people who came to defend Jessica over her weight gain. Her personal trainer Harley Pasternak stressed out that Jessica is not fat, she just 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."

According to reports, Jessica Simpson's boyfriend Tony Romo also had no problem with Jessica's new body figure (which is really quiet far from her “Daisy Duke” days). “He thinks Jess is hot no matter what. He wants to date a girl who can have a few beers, ribs, fries and dessert," says a source.

Well, if there's one person who would welcome Jessica Simpson's new look, it's her family and loved ones. Of course, feisty little sister Ashlee Simpson-Wentz really did a good job.

Still, there's one person who can objectively comment on Jessica Simpson's figure – the reporter who interviewed her during the Florida show, DJ Scott Simon: "People are saying she put on a few pounds. But she looked fabulous. Confident, healthy and happy."

Needless to say, the reporter went on to dismiss claims that the sexy singer has lost her good looks – Jessica Simpson may have become fuller, but she's now feeling more confident and happy with her body. Thanks to her sister Ashlee Simpson and those who have stood beside her against the weight issue, Jessica Simpson's fuller figure will no longer be a source of wide criticism, for now.
