Jessica And Ashlee Simpson Vs David LaChapelle

Ashlee Simpson, Jessica Simpson

Both Jessica and Ashlee Simpson have been hit with a bill from hip photographer David LaChapelle for $10,000.

LaChapelle fell out with the sisters after they cancelled a photo shoot for Rolling Stone last year. The photographer was left outraged and has since ripped the sisters to pieces in the press.

Speaking to Pagesix.com he ranted: “They’re everything that’s wrong with music.

“Out of everything combined, they’re everything wrong with culture, and everything wrong with art, and what we think of as art and musical culture - in one family!

“We were going to try and make the Simpson’s look cool. I realise now that is an impossible task.”

However, the Simpson’s, although they could easily afford the bill are not taking any shit. They have hit back saying they were uncomfortable with LaChapelle’s raunchy ideas.

A friend told the publication: “He started making demands that made her uncomfortable telling her the shot was going to be down and dirty and in a bar with snakes like she was Paris Hilton.

“She has to protect her image - and he was going to kill it. They had no idea they were going to be attacked like that.

“And now to get a $10,000 bill? No way are they ever going to pay that. He will not see a dime from them. They didn’t sign any contracts.”
