Jessica Simpson's Dad Is Gay, 'Came Out Of The Closet' To Family


According to a bombshell new report, Jessica Simpson’s world was turned upside-down when her manager-dad Joe Simpson re­cently dropped a bomb on his unsuspecting family: An insider says he confessed he’s gay!

And not only has a family source told The National Enquirer that 54-year-old Joe came out of the closet, the source says the former youth pastor and Baptist minister has a 20-some­thing boy toy!

The stunning confession was the real reason wife Tina filed for divorce from Joe, her husband of 34 years, in late September, the Enquirer reports.


“Joe got the family together about two months ago and came out of the closet,” an insider divulged. “He told them that he’d tried to continue in his marriage to Tina, but he couldn’t go on any longer and deny the fact that he had these feelings for men.

“Joe said it wasn’t fair to her, and it wasn’t fair to him.”

Tina, 52, filed for divorce in McLennan County, Texas, on Sept. 24. In the paperwork, she cites “discord or conflict of personalities” as grounds for the marital dissolution.


Meanwhile, Joe has been spiraling out of control for some time. He was busted for drunk driving in Sher­man Oaks, Calif., on August 4. “The police report stated that there was someone else in the car with Joe,” said a source close to the Simpson family. “Some reports have stated it was Tina, but now the belief is that it may well have been a boyfriend.”

For more exclusive details on the Simpson family saga, including how this could affect Jessica’s billion dollar empire, pick up the latest issue of The National Enquirer on newsstands Thursday.

Seems legit.

Oddly, they usually are.
w0rds0fl0ve 24th-Oct-2012 03:50 pm (UTC)
they've had a really good track record recently tbh
hazel_belle 24th-Oct-2012 03:54 pm (UTC)
Surprisingly, the National Enquirer has a good track record so far
diamond_dust06 24th-Oct-2012 06:22 pm (UTC)
Besides the John Edwards scandal, what else have they been accurate about?
idgi 25th-Oct-2012 08:01 pm (UTC)
they used to out chaz bono back in the 90's all the time before coming out. they illegally had anthony perkins' blood sample tested for aids found it was positive, published a story a year later and that's how perkins himself found out. and they outed danny pintauro. plus max wright, the guy from alf, smoking crack and having unprotected sex with homeless men. they even had pictures.

Good for him for coming out. But I feel for the family, who have been lied to for the better part of 35 years.
bellwetherr 24th-Oct-2012 03:23 pm (UTC)
Yikes. You know it's plausible he didn't realize he was gay, right? Or that- you know, it could potentially be something difficult for a Southern pastor to deal with?
ceecile 24th-Oct-2012 03:35 pm (UTC)
Of course it was hard for him and it probably still is. But it doesn't mean it's not hard on the wife & children either. If they never suspected then it's a big shock. No matter how understanding you want to be towards that person, there's going to be that initial stage of resentment and questioning everything.
Hopefully they can get past that. 35yrs is a long time though.
ace_kay 24th-Oct-2012 03:25 pm (UTC)
Omg, is that lamb licking his nose? The adorbs, I can't.
colorzplosion 24th-Oct-2012 03:26 pm (UTC)
I hate the idea that not coming out makes someone a liar. It's a lot more complex than that for most people.
nachomuchacho 24th-Oct-2012 03:37 pm (UTC)
My uncle was married for 20 years, had 3 kids and just came out ten years ago. It's not black and white like you think. Some people just fight it or are confused.
soul_amazinn 24th-Oct-2012 03:39 pm (UTC)
Sure. It's tough on the family but I would imagine it's even tougher on the person who is living that lie for 35 years. Can you imagine having to deal with that for 35 years? It's a bigger issue than someone being a liar for a number of years.
fuckmyass 24th-Oct-2012 03:52 pm (UTC)
My friends were married maybe 5 years, and the guy came out as gay 2 years ago. He didn't "realize" he was gay, just always shoved it away and never faced it.
anastrophe 24th-Oct-2012 04:05 pm (UTC)
My parents were married for 16 years, they divorced when I was 11 and my mom came out 2 years ago (when I was 27). There were definitely "wait? what?" type feelings for my brothers and I but we'd much rather her be true to herself than live a lie.
lovebats 24th-Oct-2012 04:48 pm (UTC)
just because someone is gay doesn't mean they didn't love their spouse and children for those 35 years, or that they're invalid now in any way.
kurtvonnegut 24th-Oct-2012 08:19 pm (UTC)
he was a BAPTIST pastor. i grew up in that community and you have no idea.
severalstories 24th-Oct-2012 10:39 pm (UTC)
Or it was the creepiest way ever for him to try to prove he's into ladies.

Edit: Shit, sorry! I replied to the wrong comment. >.< I should not be posting anywhere after such a long day, apparently.

yeah my ex's dad was gay. the kid was a fucking asshole but i wouldve like to meet his dad bc we probs could've been bff.


idk, it's better they're girls but he has developed such a horrible attitude against gay men due to that mindfuck with his family. every situation is different but it can seriously fuck with the kids. luckily they're adults.


expromqueen 24th-Oct-2012 03:22 pm (UTC)
well i guess it would make his comments about her tits slightly less creepy
jess_sayin 24th-Oct-2012 03:23 pm (UTC)
my first thought.
roguewave3 24th-Oct-2012 03:24 pm (UTC)

This isn't shocking.
inkblot_hearts 24th-Oct-2012 03:22 pm (UTC)
Says The Enquirer, though.
If it is true, though, that makes him kind of a hypocrite. I remember back before Ashlee and Pete Wentz got married that Joe wouldn't let Pete come to Thanksgiving or Christmas (I don't remember which) because Pete had kissed a guy before.
stussytribe 24th-Oct-2012 03:23 pm (UTC)
so then it'd actually make perfect sense tbh
nathanandbarry 24th-Oct-2012 03:54 pm (UTC)
exactly this.
whitegirlthin 25th-Oct-2012 12:47 am (UTC)
MTE!
bellwetherr 24th-Oct-2012 03:24 pm (UTC)
Homophobia from a closeted southern pastor? I'm shocked.
j_o_n_n_o 24th-Oct-2012 03:24 pm (UTC)
if this is true, sounds like the poor guy was pretty self loathing back then.
ace_kay 24th-Oct-2012 03:27 pm (UTC)
It kinda reminds me of that one blind item who everyone thought was Katy Perry and Russell about how her father was secretly gay or something.
candidcouture 24th-Oct-2012 03:56 pm (UTC)
Watch American Beauty. Joe is angry ex-marine dad, Pete is Kevin Spacey.
turi 24th-Oct-2012 04:00 pm (UTC)
self hate u know. the biggest gay haters are gay themselves. helloooo

I have lots! This has to be one of my faves ever:



(tho I think ONTD hates ModFam now :\ )
superdogbiter 24th-Oct-2012 03:24 pm (UTC)
you read my mind and even posted a gif of a white male
hearthecity 24th-Oct-2012 03:23 pm (UTC)
Aww, that's so sad that he lived that long in denial. Though he seems like a creep in general, it's still sad.
photogpab 24th-Oct-2012 03:23 pm (UTC)
grabbing some popcorn and settling in. dont let me down ONTD

lol.

His obsession with Jessica's big boobs was always so creepy.
blckcelebrtion 24th-Oct-2012 07:41 pm (UTC)
what was the infamous quote? "you can't cover those suckers up"? yeesh.
isolatemyheart 24th-Oct-2012 03:24 pm (UTC)
the boob comments are still grody.
thishollywood 24th-Oct-2012 03:24 pm (UTC)
WELL. i bet a lot of you feel FOOLISH now for implying that he wanted to MOLEST his daughter. it was a NON-ISSUE the WHOLE time!
smokesinatra 24th-Oct-2012 03:25 pm (UTC)
LOL
tadashee 24th-Oct-2012 03:48 pm (UTC)
What did he do exactly?
hoot 24th-Oct-2012 03:52 pm (UTC)
Someone asked him if he thought Jessica showed too much cleavage and he said something like, "She has DD's, you can't cover those suckers up." That's the major one, but he's also made other comments about her boobs/sexuality. Makes him come off as SUPER creepy.
