US Magazine has a new interview with Jessica Simpson’s dad, Joe, in which he indirectly responds to accusations that he’s mainly responsible for his daughter Jessica’s brief split with her boyfriend, quarterback Tony Romo. His answers are telling in that he seems to bemoan the fact that he doesn’t control his daughters’ Jessica and Ashlee as much as the media claims. He also uses the curious phrase “love to death” when describing both of his daughter’s mates. He doesn’t just accept and admire his daughters’ partners, he loves them both so much he could kill them:
“The media says that I try to plan everything – If I had half of the power they give me…They [Ashlee and Jessica] don’t call me and ask me. They call me and tell me.”
He adds that Jessica “… is as happy as I’ve seen her in years.” and gushes about the Dallas Cowboys quarterback, “He’s a great guy. I love Tony to death….He’s just a good kid….”
Us reports in the current issue that Joe asked Romo, 28, to let him help represent him. As tension grew, the Dallas Cowboys quarterback gave Jessica an ultimatum: Tell dad to back off!
Joe tells Extra that the public has many misconceptions about him as his daughters’ manager. “For all those people thinking I’m sipping Piña Coladas on the beach and enjoying millions of dollars and having this great life – Bull..I work seven days a week, 24/7.”
Simpson, who officiated daughter Ashlee’s wedding to Pete Wentz, says, “I love Pete to death…He has a patient spirit and a kind heart…I’m honored to have Pete as my son-in-law.”

Pete seems pretty chill and like he can handle his father in law’s strong arm ways, while Tony wasn’t about to let Jessica’s dad take over his career or tell him what to do. US Weekly reports in the print edition this week that Joe called Tony many times after he broke up with her ahead of Ashlee’s wedding, and that he begged him to take his daughter back. Although Tony did got out to lunch with Jessica the Friday before the wedding, he is said to have let Joe know that his meddling would in no way be tolerated. He also brought a friend with him to Ashlee’s wedding, according to an insider quoted in the June 2 edition of Star. It was a “college pal named Nick” who acted “as a buffer.”
Tony and Jessica have since been spotted together several times, and seem to have reconciled. If Joe wants Jess to have a chance in this relationship he better back off. Given how defensive Joe sounds in these latest quotes he’s not about to stop interfering and it’s up to Tony and Jessica how they’re going to handle it. Maybe they could just refuse to take his calls for a while.
Jessica may about to make another major mistake in her relationship without her father’s help, though. OK! Magazine reports that she wants Tony to appear in the video for her country single Move On Over, and that he thinks it would be a good idea. All I can picture now is Affleck rubbing J.Lo’s ass.
Joe Simpson is shown with Jessica at the Kennedy Center Awards on 12/3/06. Jessica Simpson is shown signing autographs at the CMA Music Festival on 6/6/08, thanks to WENN.

“All I can picture now is Affleck rubbing J.Lo’s ass.”
Just ask Ben about that Tony. Worst decision ever. Run now while you still have your career…

Where he says “For all those people thinking I’m sipping Piña Coladas on the beach and enjoying millions of dollars and having this great life – Bull..I work seven days a week, 24/7.” is pretty stupid. We DON’T think you’re sipping pinas. We DO think you’re working 24/7… hovering over your daughters and stalking them, and telling them what to do.

Why doesn’t Romo just find another blond with big tits who’s Dad isn’t such a tool? I mean, chicks like Jessica are a dime a dozen in his world.

It’s true Codzilla, Dallas is homeland for women who aspire to that look, i.e. Jessica Simpson.

The father-daughter relationship here is just eerie. It reminds me of those ‘Lifetime’ movies where the father and daughter are in ‘love’ and the father has the daughter so brainwashed she can’t see that it’s incest and it’s SICK!!!
I’m not suggesting he sexually abused them, just saying the relationships are too close for comfort, at least the way the media portrays it!

The thing that irks me is Papa Joe thought he was a big enough wheel to set up commercial endorsements for Tony Romo without being his manager.

You know, maybe I’ll be in the minority, which I do not care about, but I wish I had a father that had a close realtionship with me, it would have prevented some of my mistakes in life

[Agreed with Codzilla.]
That picture – I assume – is supposed to look like “oh, sweet Daddy-daughter picture!”
But no. It just creeps me out and makes me want to vomit.
On another note: good for Romo for giving an ultimatum. However… yeah, he could find multitudes of other equivalent options in Hollywood that *don’t* have a creepy, control-freak dad.
