Jessica Simpson: Fat or Not?

Jessica Simpson

I was talking to a male friend the other day, and he was like, “Man, I used to have the hugest crush on Jessica Simpson, but now I’m kind of embarrassed about it, because she got so fat.”

I was like, “Dude, I don’t think she’s really that fat. She’s just not a total skinny-minny anymore. She just has curves.” And he was like, “Yeah, you’re right. No, wait, actually, no. No, she’s fat now.”

Here’s Jessica, dangerously close to showing off her raspberry at a strawberry festival in Plant City, Florida this weekend.

    • ewwwww….. can you imagine the bacteria that goes on under the flaps of their stomachs?

      How do you even GET that fat????

      • bad genes, little motivation, love of food, overeating, laziness, depression, not being superficial, having other priorities, not exercising… the list goes on and on.
        how about you stop being an ass?

      • I don’t think people should flaunt unhealthiness. If that makes me an ass that makes me an ass.

      • hil, “not being superficial” is a ridiculous reason for becoming obese. There is nothing superficial about taking good physical care of yourself.

  • i don’t think she’s fat either…i just think she wears unfortunate outfits. she’s not a size 0 anymore. she needs to realize this.

  • She just looks muscle-y in this pic… (notice i didn’t say toned)
    Besides the little punch in her stomac, I think she looks great.

  • No, she’s not fat. She does need a stylist though because some of her clothing choices are unfortunate.

  • Yeah, tops that do up like that one are inclined to bulge out and make you look a bit pudgier than you are. On the other hand, the ribbing is good support for singing. She only looks round-tummied in one of these photos, and that’s the one where the top bulges out. She looks like she has good singing muscles to me – diaphragm and abdominals, not to mention those legs! (Yes, a good, trained singer does use leg muscles for support too.)

  • I asked my husband if he thought that Jessica Simpson was fat and he actually said “what do you mean? she gain weight??” so I show him the before an after pics and he says “she still looks good to me I don’t know the big deal is.”

    She looks good she just needs to dress better thats all!!

  • She is vuluptuous (not sure about that word…) rather than waif-like.

    Her legs are great.

    Not fat!

  • I concur with the other comments made about her legs. She looks like she is in great shape, those great leg muscles should be evidence of that. But her clothing choices are rather unfortunate. She looks great in a plain fitted t-shirt and jeans, but of course she never wears that!

    I didn’t like her years ago, but she just seems so nice. And she eats chips and guac, which rules!

  • What a snotty thing to say. Embarrassed to like someone who later became fat…? I don’t even understand the logic behind that unless he was constantly going around saying, “I sure love Jessica Simpson because she will never gain weight!!”

    She isn’t really fat, she’s just become rather voluptuous. (And I don’t mean that in the euphemistic way that some people use the word.) I’ve always HATED Jessica Simpson, actually (that “real women eat meat” t-shirt didn’t help) but the fact that she appears to be embracing her weight gain is frankly pretty endearing.

    • lol at your comment. Good call. It’s so embarrassing to like someone who got fat— how does that even make sense?

      oh beet, your friend sounds like a doucheturd. You should have told him that you were embarrassed that you used to respect his opinion because now he is an asshole.

  • She just has a horrid stylist lately. Her clothes are completely unflattering and disgusting. She, however, looks good (in my opinion, of course) although I do want to smack her for thinking girly corset and boyish flannel shirt looks good together. Sigh.

  • I think she’s stunningly attractive. Mesomorphs are the best. Those golden calves are worthy of worship.

  • she’s not fat. she’s not tiny either. just somewhere in between in an outfit that looks too small.

  • Definitely not fat. Definitely looking fuck-tastic. I actually wrote a substantial piece about Jessica Simpson’s ‘fatness’ on my own personal blog, because I feel that strongly about it.

  • Unfortunately I was at The Strawberry Festival in PlantDamnCity this weekend; luckily I missed her “performance”.

  • I think her taste in fashion is execrable, but her clothing size is at least half of mine, so I guess I’ll just keep my mouth shut about the fat thing.

  • I saw her “performance” and honestly, the girl did NOT sound “on key”! She’s a pretty girl, and tries really hard to put on a good show, but she looks like she got her lips done again, and has more curves than usual. Overall, I don’t care how much weight she’s gained, she needs to focus on some serious vocal lessons!!!!!!!!!! The kids on Idol sing WAAAAAY better than she does!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Glad to see you writing today Sasha. I don’t believe she is fat, shes not a little thing anymore though.

  • She reminds me of Venus Williams. No, not fat. Big, though. I guess her budget dropped through the floor because her hair isn’t styled and her outfit looks like she pulled it off the rack at Goodwill.

  • she is fat. how is she not..?? is she obese no. but fat yes. she is ugly…she was a cute petit girl way back when but she isnt that pretty to pull off being fat. hate to break it to you people who think this is a normal size…sounds more like denial. jess is nasty looking tony probably puts a bag on her face with carrie’s picture on it when he bangs her…tony you went for the wrong blond.

    • you really think she is FAT? I think that’s insane. And I think she is more attractive than Carrie Underwood. I really do think Jessica Simpson is stunning. Yeah, she is not as twiggy as she used to be, but who cares? She has an amazing, curvy body. I would kill for those curves!!!!

  • To all of you haters, or as someone so comically wrote somewhere above, HEATERS (still lol’ing about that one), Ja Simp is the hotness. She’s a dumb as a pole, as thick as a rock but she’s got something going on with this newfound curviness that none of these stick figures in Hollywood can beat.

    Haven’t you heaters ever seen a Dove commercial?

    Come on, guys, true beauty, true beauty…

  • yea she is FAT. check out her tummy, she is letting it loose, looks like she is about 4 months pregnant if not FAT.

    her face is getting ugly too.. i hate to amdit this, but i used to think she was hot cause of her boobs…but now they are so saggy…check out her other recent pics.

  • Look at the photos of her when the tour started and the photos first hit the news. She was fat as old hell.

    She seems a little more tones here but it is hard to tell. That corset or whatever the fuck you call it is keeping that blubber tied down.

  • i love curves, so i don’t think so. but the question for me is just because you’re not fat doesn’t mean you should be showing your semi-naked body onstage. i will never feel sorry for someone though that makes their money on their looks, puts on weight then tries to play both sides

  • If Jessica Simpson is fat then I’m a fucking float at the Macys thanksgiving parade.
    Seriously, get the fuck over it. Just because she’s famous for being talented doesn’t mean she has to be fucking perfect.

    I say bring on the fat role models, the anorexic girls down at my old high school could use one.

    • First of she is NOT FAMOUS FOR BEING TALENTED. Had to put that it caps. She can’t sing and can’t act. She doesn’t know the difference between chicken and tuna.

      The only thing she is famous for is being blonde, having big tits, and being sexy thin in a bikini/daisy dukes.

      Now she is just fat.

      • I have to say, Donkey Punch, your douche bag attitude well suits that ridiculous name of yours.

        Jessica Simpson isn’t the most talented thing in the world, but if she had no talent then we still wouldn’t be hearing about her in the news today. She’s no genius, and she’s still not the most entertaining person in the world, but she’s still beautiful. A little thick, but beautiful.

  • This is ridiculous.
    Jess is NOT fat.
    She isn’t skinny either.
    Nor is she a “girl” anymore.
    She is a WOMAN.
    Women have hips!
    I think she looks 10,000 x’s better in these daisy dukes than she did when she had to spend 9 months doing squats just to pretend she had an ass!

    I had NO curves until I was 25, and I hated it.
    Why do so many girls want to have bodies like 12 year old boys?
    It’s because people call a beautiful woman like Jessica Simpson “fat”!!!

  • Um, just a thought, but who cares whether that person has gained or lost weight…would you buy her music, see her movies…she doesn’t care about your weight.

    She DOES care about the public’s opinion of her, she has to, but she is most likely reaching out to a different sector of the public fan base, one more in keeping with her present values. It is her job. Ever tried to maintain a size 2?

    Maybe she is reaching out to a whole new, unbiased set of fans….and the negative press are only the rantings of the disappointed ones who wish things were like they used to be.

    • Ummm, no body sees her movies. That is why they all get released on DVD and have to be paid for by Papa Joe.

  • when she started out she was still a teenager so of course her body has changed as she’s gotten older. i think she looks fine, but her outfits looks like shit lately. her stylist must be very angry with her.

  • You people are crazy. She is NOT FAT. if she walked into a room you would not think she was fat at all,b ut when you are bombarded with images like Nicole Richie, Lindsay Lohan et al, you would have to assume she is overweight.
    i think she is the same size as me (size 6-8). And I can tell you now I am not fat.

  • She opened for Rascal Flatts in SLC, UT on Feb 26th. Prior to the show she had dinner at Thaifoon Taste of Asia across the street form the venue. She most certainly did not look fat.

    Onstage she had on a pair of Daisy Duke shorts and looked pretty darn good.
