Ashlee Simpson Outraged at Blogs Calling Sister Jessica ‘Fat’
Ashlee Simpson (like a lot of celebrities lately) is lashing out at gossip bloggers for saying her sister has gained weight.
She rants,
I am completely disgusted by the headlines concerning my sister’s weight. 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 as a headline on Fox News.
All women come in different shapes, sizes, and forms and just because you’re a celebrity, there shouldn’t be a different standard.
Is this something you would say to your wife, daughter, mother, grandmother, or even a friend?
I seriously doubt it.
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.

Well, Ashlee, this is nothing new in the business, but I’m not saying that it’s right. What I am saying is that you, your sister and your daddy all know how the industry works. And if you gain a little weight, you’re going to hear about it. Welcome to Hollywood.
Tell me Ashlee, how is it that we can expect teenaged girls to love and respect themselves in an environment where so many young women feel it’s necessary to get plastic surgery on their face at a young age? Oh yeah, it goes back to what I said before.
I’m just sayin’.
