New Mom Ashley Simpson Sounds Off About Jessica's Scrutiny Over Her Fuller Figure

\

Ashlee Simpson is outraged over all the headlines regarding her big sis. In my opinion I think it was just a poor choice in clothes and belts! Check out those high rise pants! WTF was she thinking?

"I am completely disgusted by the headlines concerning my sister's weight," she writes in a blog post on her Celebrity MySpace page. "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."

At Sunday's Kiss Country Chili Cookout in Pembroke Pines, Fla., Jessica -- dressed in high-waisted jeans and a double belt -- shocked fans with her new curves.

But Ashlee says, "All women come in different shapes, sizes, and forms and just because you're a celebrity, there shouldn't be a different standard."

Of the negative remarks some bloggers are making about her sister, Ashlee then asks, "Is this something you would say to your wife, daughter, mother, grandmother, or even a friend? I seriously doubt it."

Adds Ashlee, "How can we expect teenage girls to love and respect themselves in an environment where we criticize a size 2 figure?"

"She's still sexy," Harley Pasternak said on Tuesday. "She's still a beautiful woman. And I have no problem with the way she looks.

"I think if more people looked the way she looks now, the country would be a lot healthier."

What do you think of Jess's fuller figure?
