Jessica Simpson Suing OK! Magazine for Getting Dumped by Tony Romo Story

Jessica Simpson Suing OK! Magazine for Getting Dumped by Tony Romo Story
A couple of weeks ago, OK! Magazine ran a story about Dallas Cowboys’ Tony Romo dumping Jessica Simpson because she was “bad luck” and because fans “didn’t like her around.” The story also reports that Jessica’s younger sister, Ashlee, also wants nothing to do with her. Jessica is fighting back at the reportedly false story by suing the magazine, OK! Apparently, Jessica is sick and tired of being slandered and wants to set the magazine straight. TMZ reports:

Simpson’s lawyers have sent a letter to OK!’s Editor-in-Chief, Sarah Ivens, claiming OK!’s article is bogus, adding that Jess and Tony are still together and that Ashlee and Jessica remain close. The attorneys say the article reflects a “smear campaign” and has subjected Simpson to “public contempt, ridicule, aversion or disgrace.” The lawyers want OK! to “immediately publish a prominent and unambiguous” retraction.

Part of me says good for Jessica for trying to set the record straight but another part of me thinks she’s being silly–when you’re famous people write things that are untrue–deal with it. Maybe she’s really scared that Tony Romo will dump her because she is bad luck and the story was just a little too close to her fears? I don’t know but… it could be! And as far as Ashlee Simpson wanting to not hang out with her sister anymore? Well, I guess I could see how that could piss the Simpson’s off. Unless… that’s true, too? You never know!
