Jessica Simpson says she was “very” angry over her ex-husband Nick Lachey’s “low” joke about her dad, Joe Simpson, several years ago. In a new interview, the Open Book author attributed her ex’s headline-making remark about her father to his saltiness over their 2006 divorce.
In an interview on Andy Cohen’s Town Hall radio show, Jessica addressed questions about her dad’s disapproval of her marriage to her first husband. Nick Lachey. Cohen then asked the 39-year-old star if she knew about the joke the 98 Degrees alum made about her dad’s sexuality when he was a guest on Watch What Happens Live back in 2013.
“I’d heard about it,” Jessica told Cohen. “That was low and that’s not for him to talk about by any means because he’s not connected with us at all anymore.”
The singer and fashion designer went on to reiterate that she was “very” pissed about Nick’s comments about her father.
