Joe Simpson regrets that he doesnt have power over daughters the media claims
US Magazine has a new interview with Jessica Simpson’s dad, Joe, in which he indirectly responds to accusations that he’s mainly responsible for his daughter Jessica’s brief split with her boyfriend, quarterback Tony Romo. His answers are telling in that he seems to bemoan the fact that he doesn’t control his daughters’ Jessica and Ashlee as much as the media claims. He also uses the curious phrase “love to death” when describing both of his daughter’s mates. He doesn’t just accept and admire his daughters’ partners, he loves them both so much he could kill them:
“The media says that I try to plan everything – If I had half of the power they give me…They [Ashlee and Jessica] don’t call me and ask me. They call me and tell me.”
He adds that Jessica “… is as happy as I’ve seen her in years.” and gushes about the Dallas Cowboys quarterback, “He’s a great guy. I love Tony to death….He’s just a good kid….”
Us reports in the current issue that Joe asked Romo, 28, to let him help represent him. As tension grew, the Dallas Cowboys quarterback gave Jessica an ultimatum: Tell dad to back off!
Joe tells Extra that the public has many misconceptions about him as his daughters’ manager. “For all those people thinking I’m sipping Piña Coladas on the beach and enjoying millions of dollars and having this great life – Bull..I work seven days a week, 24/7.”
Simpson, who officiated daughter Ashlee’s wedding to Pete Wentz, says, “I love Pete to death…He has a patient spirit and a kind heart…I’m honored to have Pete as my son-in-law.”

Pete seems pretty chill and like he can handle his father in law’s strong arm ways, while Tony wasn’t about to let Jessica’s dad take over his career or tell him what to do. US Weekly reports in the print edition this week that Joe called Tony many times after he broke up with her ahead of Ashlee’s wedding, and that he begged him to take his daughter back. Although Tony did got out to lunch with Jessica the Friday before the wedding, he is said to have let Joe know that his meddling would in no way be tolerated. He also brought a friend with him to Ashlee’s wedding, according to an insider quoted in the June 2 edition of Star. It was a “college pal named Nick” who acted “as a buffer.”
Tony and Jessica have since been spotted together several times, and seem to have reconciled. If Joe wants Jess to have a chance in this relationship he better back off. Given how defensive Joe sounds in these latest quotes he’s not about to stop interfering and it’s up to Tony and Jessica how they’re going to handle it. Maybe they could just refuse to take his calls for a while.
Jessica may about to make another major mistake in her relationship without her father’s help, though. OK! Magazine reports that she wants Tony to appear in the video for her country single Move On Over, and that he thinks it would be a good idea. All I can picture now is Affleck rubbing J.Lo’s ass.
Joe Simpson is shown with Jessica at the Kennedy Center Awards on 12/3/06. Jessica Simpson is shown signing autographs at the CMA Music Festival on 6/6/08, thanks to WENN.
