Awkward Interview


Jessica Simpson is very excited about the new shoes in her fashion line, so who can blame her for wanting to talk all about them when she sat down with Access Hollywood's Billy Bush over the weekend? And while that's fine, Billy also wanted to address the elephant in the room — the status of her marriage with Nick. But when he did, it led to one interesting interview.

When asked about her busy schedule and how she keep sit all together she admitted: “I have a lot of really good handlers."

And one of the people Jessica relies upon these days is a therapist. She recently told Teen People it's because she respects what it is they do for a living. But for some reason, her publicist wouldn't let her tell Billy that. “You went into therapy. What was behind that decision because a lot of people do?” he asked, only to find Jess reluctant to answer the question.

“I mean, hmm, I don't wanna… Everybody's asking that question,” she softly said. "I would stay away from that,” a publicist said from off-camera.

Billy tried to explain his position to Jessica and her people. “There's an unnaturalness to all of this because everybody in the entertainment business in talking about your life in one way and yet…,” he said, only to be interrupted by the publicist. “This is just about the line and that's all we're talking about. That's why we're here today. I need you to stay with that,” the publicist insisted. “Do you understand my situation to be here?” Billy asked Jessica. “Of course,” Simpson admitted. “I totally understand but that is the focus of why we're here today and that's all we're talking about today,” the publicist said.

“Is there something you do say to people though? Is there some kind of position that you have on all these things that have been written about you everywhere we go?” Billy inquired. “Is there one kind of thing you do say to people?” “Honestly, um,” Jessica said, only to have her people once again speak up in her place. “That's just not why we're here. If you want to keep talking about the clothing line, that's fine. But that's all we're doing,” the pub said. “That's all we're doing.”

The duo had a good time checking out the new fancy footwear she has designed and then it was time to wrap it up. And of course, there was no way Billy would get shut down asking about Jessica's recent charity work, right? “Tell me quickly if you can about Operation Smile, which is a terrific organization. You just made a trip to Africa, didn't you?” Billy asked Jessica. “I did,” she replied. “It was a wonderful great trip that taught me a lot about myself. It just puts life into perspective. I met so many amazing kids. We went into hospitals and did surgeries then we were out on safari and all of kinds of stuff. It was really a beautiful time for me.”

“Did you see anything in particular?” Billy followed up. But this time, it wasn't Jessica who responded. “That's it. No other questions,” the publicist interrupted one final time. Billy looked at Jessica and all she could do was shrug her shoulders and smile. “Sorry,” she said. “I gotta listen to my peeps.”

You Said

At least her publicist didn't back over him in an SUV.

"we went into hospitals and did surgeries?"

Let's hope that is a typo!
