Jessica Simpson Hits Back at Trolls For Body-Shaming Her Over 2007 Met Gala Look
Jessica Simpson is not standing down to a former Vogue creative digital director who wrote about her look at the 2007 Met Gala.
“One year Jessica Simpson was there with John Mayer. She was wearing Michael Kors and her breasts maybe fell out of her dress on the red carpet,” Sally Singer recalled in a Vogue oral history piece. “And then at dinner it was suddenly like, whoa, Jessica Simpson’s breasts are across from me at the dinner table and they are on a platter and I’m looking at them. And John Mayer was putting his hands on them at the dinner table. He kind of reached down and I just remember thinking, ‘Oh, celebrities, feel free to play here.’ That’s what’s going on.”
However, Jessica remembers it a bit differently.
“Feeling a little like Jayne Mansfield after reading this (inaccurate!) oral history of the #MetBall where I am body shamed by #SallySinger,” she captioned alongside the infamous photo of actress Sophia Loren giving side-eye to Jayne Mansfield.
“But in all seriousness I have persevered through shaming my own body and internalizing the world’s opinions about it for my entire adult life. To read this much anticipated article about the classiest fashion event there is and have to be shamed by another woman for having boobs in 2020 is nauseating,” she concluded.
You go, Jessica!
