Jessica Simpson Not Fat Friendly

February 19, 2008


Jessica Simpson has been accused of a lot of things throughout her career, but not being fat friendly is definitely a first.

Simpson is accused of "hurting millions of fat people in America" by banning the sale of a secret workout DVD. She filmed the fitness tape around the time she slimmed down for her role as Daisy Duke back in 2005, but she doesn't want that tape to see the light of day.

Despite signing a multi-million dollar contract, Simpson has reportedly banned the release of the tape. So what's next? A lengthy lawsuit of course! Speedfit owner Alex Astilean has now launched a lawsuit against her manager dad Papa Joe after failing to secure a $10 million settlement from Simpson last year.

Astilean says, "They are hurting millions of fat people in America." Simpson's reps tells PageSix, "It's a legal matter that's in the hands of attorneys."

It's a DVD people, it's not like she's the only celebrity to have ever made a workout DVD, I don't get the whole 'not fat friendly' claims. You want to lose weight? Go to the gym--plain and simple. The DVD owner should still sue Papa Joe though, I wonder if he can throw in an extra lawsuit for excessive creepiness?

You're kidding right? I'm not a huge fan of Jessica (no pun intended....) but the fact is she has a plus size clothing line. How can that be part of someone who "isn't fat friendly"???? Lame story... lame blog...

I suspect this is just a MARKETING strategy for Speedfit to let people know about their fitness video business.

They didn't say they gave her the money...she only "signed" it. I'm sure they would state the amount if they did pay her. Anyway, I don't think this Speedfit company will win anyway. The owner's remark already show how dumb he is.."hurting millions of fat people"??? DUMB.

she received money . . . do you really think pap Joe would let her do anything without being paid? I hope they sue the s#it out of them!

It just says she signed a contract. If she received money she should give it back or release the video. I think her 15 minutes is winding down anyway.

You people at Hollyscoop are the ones that aren't fat friendly: You want to lose weight? Go to the gym--plain and simple. Don't you think if it were that easy that everyone would be thin. Rude ass people. I hope you skinny asses get fat one day then everyone can laugh at you!

Yes, thats what the article says she got paid and never settled back after banning the release. I wonder whether joe also paid the 100million law suit against her clothing line
