Nick Lachey Feels Fooled By Jessica Simpson

A source tells Star magazine that a few months ago, before Jessica Simpson announced plans to end her 3-year marriage to Nick Lachey, the ‘Dukes Of Hazzard’ star was spotted at Los Angeles nightclub privilege engaging in unfaithful contact with Trace Ayala while her hubby was only feet away. Ayala put his hand on Jessica’s leg and brushed it all the way under her skirt, several times. “It was so obvious, anyone could have seen it,” the source revealed. “But Nick just stood there with his back turned. He didn’t seem happy to be there all night.” Given gossip about Ayala, as well as her ‘Dukes’ co-star Johnny Knoxville, skater Bam Margera, and Maroon 5 singer Adam Levine, Lachey is doubting Jessica’s honesty with him. “I think Nick is pissed because he feels betrayed by Jessica and also because he feels like a chump,” a source said. So will Lachey take it out on Simpson in the divorce settlement? “If pushed hard enough, I think Nick will do whatever he needs to protect himself,” an insider remarked. “You could say that Nick knows where all of Jessica’s skeletons are buried.”
