Tony Romo had a bunch of reasons to dump Jessica Simpson


There’s been no confirmation of Jessica Simpson and Tony Romo’s split and just denials from Jessica’s rep, but the rumors seem to have enough weight to be true. We’re still waiting to see if Tony is Jessica’s date to her sister’s wedding this weekend. If anyone other than the magazine who bid the highest will be able to score photos of the guests we’ll probably know soon, otherwise they’ll try to hide the breakup for as long as possible.

The Dallas News reports that “two people close to Tony and Jess” attest that they’re over, while Tony himself said “I’m not talking about Jessica” when asked on Wednesday.

There are more and very believable insider reports from The Chicago Sun Times, which says “they’re definitely over,” and gives a bunch of reasons why Tony split. Jessica’s effusive “my future husband” Glamour interview was a definite reason Tony left, along with the way that her father, Joe, tried to interfere with Tony’s career:

Yet, the Romo pal — part of the posse that hung with the pro-baller during his hard partying in Chicago last weekend (including his off-key singing at Wrigley Field during the seventh inning stretch) — quotes Romo as saying he and Simpson ”are definitely over.” The Cowboy apparently explained he had ”really had it” with being a constant target of the paparazzi and the celebrity press in general, and feels this particular romantic relationship was distracting him from his football career.

In addition, Romo’s friend said the talented QB has been put off by the intrusive style of Joe Simpson, who’s been ”not only telling Jessica every move to make, but now has begun to offer unsolicited advice to Tony on his career, endorsement opportunities and things that have nothing to do with him dating Jessica.”

Furthermore, Romo reportedly was very upset by Simpson’s interview in Glamour magazine where she referred to Romo as her ”future husband” and other on-the-record interviews she has given, saying she wants Romo to be the father to her children.

Meanwhile OK! Magazine, with spin that’s probably straight from Jessica’s down in the dumps camp, says that she gave Tony an “ultimatum” that if he doesn’t show at her sister’s wedding this week it’s over. I guess that means they’re really through and this is Jessica’s meek attempt to save face.

You know, Romo probably might have overlooked Jessica’s meddling dad and if only she wouldn’t have blabbed so much to the press about him. That’s the lamest move you can make as a woman. In most cases it’s just telling your friends too much so that it ultimately gets back to the guy secondhand. In this instance Romo can read exactly what Jessica said and it’s way too revealing and gushy.

Jezebel notes that Jessica was drinking Chardonnay when she gave that interview. Not the wisest move, and considering all the stories that are coming out about her drinking too much, she should probably watch herself and not seek solace in a bottle.

    I see big problems with her and her dad in the future. He is very creepy and needs to let her be a freaking grown up. She seems SO immature. And, I think she uses her body, etc. to “get” guys but then has no clue how to be in a relationship — probably due to her creepy dad always being there.

    I’m not a big fan. I thought she treated Nick poorly in that show.

    Her immaturity just gets on my last nerve.

  2. Melania says:

    You sure can’t blame Tony. He’s probably breathing a big sigh of relief right now to get the heck out of that mess. Jessica should have stuck with Nick. He loved her even though she wasn’t the sharpest knife in the drawer. He must have tolerated creepy old dad. I wonder if sometimes she regrets it herself.

  3. elisha says:

    LOL:

    Jessica: “If you don’t show up to my sister’s wedding, it’s OVER!!!”
    Tony: “Uh, OK! See yah!!” [ZOINKS]

    That saves no face whatsoever, haha.

    I think people (me included) like to see Jessica’s repeated failures because Nick was such a great husband and Jessica took him for granted. Also because no one wants to see Joe pleased.

    Like, calling someone your future husband and the father of your children? You did have that… and you could’ve had that. You threw it away!

    She definately has a “type”: jocks. To me, Romo was always Nick part two, they’re the same kinda guy and Jessica was trying to reclaim what she had with Nick.

  4. Codzilla says:

    I’m from San Francisco, so hating the Cowboys is embedded in my DNA. But I have to offer up my congrats to Romo for ditching this hag and her incestuous daddy. The whole Simpson family seems incapable of feeling shame.

  5. AC says:

    am i the only one who thought nick and jessicas marriage was terrible?! I hated how he treated her.

  6. Embee says:

    I agree, AC. He was more than a little patronizing to her.

  7. Jean says:

    All I can say is after about the third eye roll, I’d have put a brick through Lachey’s skull. How long did they date before marriage — four years? He knew what he was getting. Too bad for Jess he turned out to be such a jealous, condescending, lying asshat.

    I hope she’ll find someone who’ll give her the support she needs to cut her dad loose. As for Romo, I suspect his football career will end in a few years and he’ll just fade into obscurity.

  8. Jude says:

    Nick wasn’t bad to Jessica, Her Dad tells her to marry,when to divorce,who to date and then tries to run their careers too. He makes lewd comments about his own daughters breasts and body. Why would any male especially one tht has his own career put up with JOE?
    SHe is going to sleep her way thru Gollywood and try to get someone else to marry her and it isn’t going to happen. How could anyone as stupid as her raise a child?? Her asshat sister now pregnant and knocking Brit is a skank and another gollywood tramp that is busy having unprotected sex.

  9. Susan says:

    I didn’t think Nick treated her bad — he’s a Saint for putting up with her.

  10. elisha says:

    Yeah, how is rollling one’s eyes treating her badly? She sought out the “patronizing” and “condesending” behavior by acting like a bimbo. He loved her and put it on display for the world to see.

  11. Jean says:

    Many consider eye rolling to be sign of contempt. My point being she probably said/did many dumb things in the four years they were dating. But when she does it on camera, he’s suddenly irritated?

    I have a great husband. He would never act put upon if I said something stupid in public. In private, that’s a different story…

  12. Other Karen says:

    Hitting it semi-big on the music scene was probably the worst thing that ever happened to Jessica. All she needs is a doting (and well-to-do) husband and to live near her family and she’d have been happy, methinks.

  13. OXA says:

    She is dumber than a stump, Nick was fooled by the “Virgin Package” what man does not want to be the cherry picker? She learned the kinky shit from Johnny’s Mayer and Knoxville, I wish she would shut up dissapearand take ll her relatives with her.

  14. elisha says:

    Nick sat dutifully at home and listened to all the rumors about her effing the entire cast of Jackass while she was on set. He stuck with her only to have her break up with him a little while later on a car ride to dinner.

    Meanwhile, he ROLLED HIS EYES AT HER!!! OMG! How embarassing for her!

  15. CB Rawks says:

    elisha, You honestly don’t find it insulting when people roll their eyes at you? So their contempt fails to penetrate your unbelievably thick… skin.
    Um, lucky you?
    To inform you: when someone does that, they think you are a MORON. Feels good, huh?

  16. Jean says:

    If Beerbongs Lachey sat dutifully anywhere, it was at the strip club.

  17. Scott F. says:

    Wow, I never thought I would actually comment on Jessica fucking Simpson.. but Tony Romo is in the article, so I’m semi-covered. My wife loved Newlyweds, and watched it all the time right after we got married. Sorry, I just get the feeling that those of you ripping on Nick have some inferiority issues yourself or something, because that guy is practically a patron saint.

    He WAS with her for 4 years, which is why you saw the eye roll to begin with. After being with someone that long, he understood that it would be futile to try and actually explain what she was thinking/doing wrong, and it was better for his sanity to just let it go. A lot of guys who marry for looks end up in this self-imposed hell down the road.

    I also find it fucking hilarious that so many of you think Jessica was the talented one between her and Romo. This chick hasn’t done anything worthwhile in how long? Until he got into that relationship, Romo was considered one of the most successful up-and-comers in the NFL. Granted, this is a Celeb site, so I’m not expecting a whole lot of NFL knowledge – and if your last name isn’t Bradey or Manning, you’re not likely to see a Superbowl in the next decade, but he is a pretty impressive talent. And she… was in a shitty Dukes of Hazard remake.

  18. Sasha says:

    The chief reason of which would be she’s an air-headed attention whore that hasn’t cut a successful album in years, with a creepy semi-incestuous father and a parasitic and somehow less talented younger sister whose addicted to plastic surgery, hair dye and little emo fruity boys. 😆

  19. Jean says:

    Um…wasn’t Romo dating Carrie Underwood when he fumbled the snap in Seattle? I find it hilarious that guys blame the Cowboys’ loss to Philly on JS.

    Maybe Romo needs to stop chasing big name blondes? I think he likes the attention until it bites him.

  20. Susan says:

    Way to go Scott and Sasha!!! Great comments. I couldn’t agree more.

    Nick always looked so…well….miserable on the Newlyweds. I watched that show too. I EXPECTED to see a couple in love starting out their life. What I saw was a pretentious, air-headed prima donna wearing thin the nerves of a very gorgeous and sweet guy. Who did everything. She couldn’t even load the freaking dishwasher… 🙄

    I do think Nick got caught up in the whole virgin thing.

    I think Romo had enough of her. And, her saying in a mag article that he was her “future husband”. Good grief. Keep your mouth shut already.

    I don’t know much about Vanessa Minnilo (or however you spell it) — but Nick is the one who found a girlfriend and has been in a “relationship” since the divorce. Jessica has bounced from one hollywood guy to another. And, now she’s infiltrating the NFL. These guys are around hot girls 24/7 — she’s going to need more than just big boobs to get one to take her serious. Sorry but I just don’t think she’s got much else to offer.

  21. Devilgirl says:

    I would roll my eyes too if I had to put up with Joe Simpson every flippen day! Jessica was all into Nick until she thought that her film career was going to go big, and her father felt that Nick was just a drag on his daughter and he engineered the break-up. She left him ,and not for the jealousy reasons or strip clubs, she left because her father didn’t want Nick to be able to clean out Jessica when she became a big A-List film star. We can see that that never happened. Jessica’s fat leach of a father has ruined every relationship the girl has had out of his disgusting greed and misconception that both of his daughters have some sort of talent. The only talent those girls have is at creating media scandals with lipsync’ing, divorces, hook-ups, break-ups and hospital visits. Beyond that, the girls are nothing more than high school prom queens that have left the high school, but not the mentality.

  22. Julesss says:

    I think you couldn’t have said it better Devilgirl!

    I will add that I watched Newlyweds all the time and those of you who say that Nick’s eye rolls were condesending, lets not forget when Jessica started making fun of a song Nick wrote and sang for her and he got teary and she started calling him names for getting emotional and laughing AT him. Ohhhh, but his eye roll is so condesending you say. Forget that she would verbally assault her husband!!!!

    I think that the only person that loves Jessica as much as Jessica loves herself is her father…AND not in a normal way!!!
