OK!: Brave Simpson In Tears Over Split With Angry, Stubborn Lachey

OK! magazine is painting an angelic image of Jessica Simpson and her parents in wake of her split from Nick Lachey. The mag, which reportedly has a big money contract with Simpson, says since the split she is “in mourning and has cried lots of tears,” according to an insider. The biased blabbermouth adds that Jessica is “not angry with Nick. They still talk to each other, and she won’t let anybody say a bad word about him.” Even parents Joe and Tina Simpson are “not dancing with joy” over the breakup. “Her family liked Nick,” a friend said. “Joe and Tina are Baptists and have been married 30 years. They don’t believe in divorce…” What about Nick? The insider says the 98 Degrees star is “very angry”, adding, “The best thing for that relationship would have been for Jessica’s career to bomb because that would have made things more equal between them.” The source was further critical of Lachey by revealing that “he wouldn’t admit he made a mistake. He didn’t want to admit their marriage was a failure. He was too stubborn to admit they should separate.” But won’t Jessica look bad filing for divorce? OK! stated that “their selfless actions should be admired”, and the source concurred, “Jessica was incredibly brave to end things – respect to her.”
