Did Joe Simpson Fuel Nick And Jessica Split?

People magazine’s cover story shed light on why Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey ended their three year marriage. One of the apparent reasons, Jessica’s father/manager Joe Simpson. “No matter how nice your in-laws are, it must have been really hard to have them a constant presence,” says family friend Lynn Zednick Shaw. Another source added, “He controls Jessica’s life and therefore has controlled Nick’s life. I’m not saying they don’t have problems, but Nick loves Jessica. I’m telling you, it’s Joe.”
