Jessica, Jessica, Jessica

So, again here I am discussing Jessica Simpson. I didn't want to, but this time felt like I needed to. In an interview she gives to Elle this month Jessica was asked if she had ever been physically abused because there is a song on her new CD called Remember That which deals with abuse.

This is what Jessica had to say: "I don't want to talk about it, but I have definitely experienced abuse in a way that I would tell people to take their heart and run."

Here is the relevant portion of the song:

"It doesn't matter how he hurts you / With his hands or with his words / You don't deserve it / It ain't worth it / Take your heart and run."

Here is what ticks me off about this. First of all you should know by now that I have a zero tolerance policy when it comes towards any abuse whether physical or verbal or mental towards any person, man or woman except for Joe Francis.

When you read the quote it sounds as if Jessica sat around and opened her heart and wrote this song about her experience. Problem is that according to ASCAP at least, Jessica Simpson doesn't have a writing credit for this song which means she didn't even contribute one word or thought to it.

Then when asked about abuse she just waffles. The way she answered the question says to me it could have been a guy at Starbucks who used whole milk instead of soy. I think her answer and the way she is trying to imply that she wrote the song because she had been abused does a disservice to the millions of men and women who are abused in their relationships.

To me being evasive is the worst thing she can do here. People look to her for guidance. I know, I know, but they do. So, she could have said, "I haven't been abused in my relationships but so many people have and I hope they will listen to this song and take its message to heart and get help or just get out."

See. Simple. Kind of like her. Now, people will assume she has been physically abused when she is not actually saying she was. People will then start looking at all of her relationships and accusing those people. She needs to clarify what she was talking about or not talking about because people are going to start wondering who she is referring to and then those people are going to be under a cloud of suspicion. Publicity is one thing, this is another.
