Jessica Simpson “Purposefully” Packed on Pounds for Weight Watchers Deal?

After several weeks of tabloids claiming Jessica Simpson is stressed and having trouble losing her baby weight, the National Enquirer is weighing in with a twist.

In a piece called “‘Fat Jess’ Laughs All The Way to the Bank,” the supermarket tabloid claims the singer “purposefully packed on 65 pounds.”

Huh?

A so-called “family friend” tells the tab, Simpson had been “eying” a reported $4 million deal with Weight Watchers,” and allegedly “figured it would be easier to lose lots of weight, rather than a little — plus it would make a more compelling story.”

“So now she’s keeping her mouth shut, and she’s getting the last laugh now,” the supposed source continues, with Simpson allegedly bragging about how “rich” she got because of her pregnancy.

Here’s what’s right about this story: Jessica Simpson has a deal with Weight Watchers.

Here’s what’s wrong: Everything else.

A source close to Simpson says the notion that she “purposefully” gained weight for her Weight Watchers deal is entirely ridiculous and 100 percent “not true.”

    thats a lie Jessica had complications with her pregnancy that caused her to gain more weight than she wanted to the press are piling on to her for no good reason Mariah Carey gained the same amount of weight with her twins and the press never lobbed these meritless accusations at her

    How in world can you purposely gain weight and pregnant? Most women gain about that amount of weight when pregnant. This is so dumb. Keep the good work going, Jess. They are afraid that when you lose weight they might have to change their theme for you. They all are getting ridiculous. They want to make money off the brainless teenagers while they are out of school.

    She said that she didn’t have complications, except the baby was large. I gained that amount of weight when I was pregnant. That’s normal.

    She didn’t have complications, but Mariah Carey did & was put on bed rest for the majority of her pregnancy. Jessica Simpson has always been ridiculed for her weight, no matter what size she was. This just gave people an “excuse” to make even more fun of her. Many women gain that much weight during their pregnancy & sometimes has nothing to do with the amount of food they’ve eaten. And yes, she had a big baby so that added to it.

    I have to Jess credit. She was never a naturally skinny girl, and has always has to work hard to maintain her weight and body, and mostly always has. It has to be doubly hard when her sister does seem to be naturally slim. I hope things work out for her.
