Ashlee Simpson doesn't understand why the media criticizes her big sister about her body. Jessica Simpson is best known for her achieved chest and petite frame. But whenever she gains a pound or wears an unflattering outfit (horizontal stripes don't work on most people, sweetie), magazines publish distorted pictures of her looking less than lovely. Ashlee stated to Women's Health Magazine, "My sister has an incredible body. I feel sorry for anyone who would judge her, because she's one sexy lady."
Jessica may be "one sexy lady", but she is often the target of media scrutiny because of her interesting history. She got divorced from Nick Lachey after filming the show Newlyweds, fulfilling possibly the most ironic moment in television history. Jessica also had a string of failed relationships, including one with musician John Mayer and Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo. In recent months, her beloved puppy Daisy was snatched up by a coyote, never to be seen again. Her tumultuous life is media gold and that is why they continue to write about her.
The media should back off of Simpson when it comes to her weight issues. Eating disorders and obesity issues make headlines daily. Constantly harassing an individual about such personal issues can have a long-lasting negative impact. Ashlee Simpson stated, "It's disgusting that people would say those things." Saying mean things about weight isn't necessarily disgusting, but definitely unnecessary and crude.
