Jessica Simpson Says LaChappelle’s Words Were ‘Very Hurtful’

In a wide ranging interview with OK! magazine, Jessica Simpson spoke out on reports that she and sister Ashlee walked off a Rolling Stone cover shoot with photographer David LaChapelle. “We were never on the set, so to say Ashlee and I walked off the set is a lie,” Simpson said. “We didn’t see eye to eye on the concept. David LaChapelle is an amazing photographer and it would have been a great opportnity, but no opportunity is worth sacrificing who I am as a person, and even if it is the Rolling Stone cover, oh well. Sticking to what I believe has gotten me to the level of success that I am at. That was a very unfortunate situation and he said some very hurtful things.”
