Singer Ashlee Simpson has declared that both she and sis Jessica Simpson are both their own women and are not controlled by their father Joe Simpson.
In fact, Ashlee reportedly says that dad won’t even step into the studio unless she gives him permission.
Contact Music UK details:
The singer maintains her father is misunderstood as a control freak, but is actually not as involved in her decisions as people think.
She explains, “(Sister) Jessica (Simpson) and I are very much our own individuals. I’ll make my record and not invite him into the studio until I invite him.
“Sure, he’ll have an opinion but if I’m like, ‘No, I want that song to be on my record’ he’ll be like ‘All right, baby, you got it!’”
The former Baptist minister and adolescent psychologist also avoided giving Simpson a lecture when she was videotaped at a McDonalds outlet intoxicated, asking a fan to kiss her feet and climbing on the counter.
She says, “My dad could have been really mean to me about that, and he was so nice. He treated me like an adult.”
