Ashlee Simpson Defends Sister's Weight

Jessica Simpson’s figure has caused quite the buzz lately. On Sunday she performed at Radio 99.9 Kiss Country's annual Chili Cookoff in Florida showing off what FoxNews describes as “noticeably fuller curves.”

Ashlee Simpson-Wentz came to her sister’s defense yesterday and posted the following on her MySpace:

”I am completely disgusted by the headlines concerning my sister's weight. A week after the inauguration and with such a feeling of hope in the air for our country, I find it completely embarrassing and belittling to all women to read about a woman's weight or figure as a headline on Fox News…
All women come in different shapes, sizes, and forms and just because you're a celebrity, there shouldn't be a different standard…How can we expect teenage girls to love and respect themselves in an environment where we criticize a size 2 figure?”

Way to go Ashlee! We here at Roaman’s couldn’t agree more! Jessica looks happy & healthy and that is what's important.

What do you think of Jessica’s new figure and Ashlee’s statement?
