Tony Romo Wants Jessica Simpson’s Dad To Stay On The Sidelines

And the saga continues…it would seem that Tony Romo and Jessica Simpson’s on-again/off-again/on-again romance is back on, but only if Papa Joe stays completely off the playing field:

”He did agree to go to [sister Ashlee's] wedding — keeping his promise to Jessica,” Romo’s Eastern Illinois alum chum told me. ”But he made it super-clear that if they were to give it another go, her dad had to seriously back off.”

Joe Simpson has long been seen as an overbearing presence, as he managed both his daughters’ careers. While clearly successful, Simpson has earned a reputation as being a guy extremely difficult with whom to work.

My source says Romo has told Jessica their renewed relationship is ”a trial thing,” dependent on Daddy Joe ”leaving them alone” and stifling his tendency to tell Romo how to run his life, career and endorsement deals.

It’s no secret that many people think Joe Simpson is a seriously creepy guy.  But come on…Tony Romo didn’t get to where he is in the NFL by being stupid in his business dealings.  I’m sure he has ‘people’ on his payroll who help him with his career decisions and endorsement deals…he doesn’t need unsolicited advice from a guy who looks and acts like a smarmy used car salesman.

I can’t say as I blame Tony…there’s nothing worse than a meddling busybody trying to worm their way into your life by continually telling you the “best” way to do things and meddling in your personal life.  It’s like that loud uncle at the Thanksgiving table who just doesn’t know when to shut up about your line of work, and who goes on and on until you want to shove his face in the sweet potatoes.

Ashlee, Jessica, a word of advice…ditch Papa Joe as your manager.  Now.  Before he sends your careers (and your personal relationships) totally down the toilet.  Jessica, if you were happy with Tony outside of your father’s interference, then you should think about that, because keeping daddy as a manager will be small comfort when you grow old alone.

  1. I think Papa Joe should back off and leave Jessica and Tony alone they are older enuf to look out for themselves and each other.. Jessica should cut ties for him as her manager and hire someone else.. I think he has alot to blame for the break up of Nick Lachey and Jessica..

  3. Jessica’s face in that photograph looks exactly like one of those cheap blow-up sex dolls.

  5. Joe Simpson is just plain creepy. I’m surprised anyone who dates these girls can stand him for more than 10 seconds.
