Jessica’s Former Trainer Likes Her New Curves + Ashlee Defends Her Sister
January 28, 2009 in Celebrity Quotes, Jessica Simpson by Versus
Jessica Simpson’s former trainer, Harley Pasternak (who helped Jess get in shape for her role in Major Movie Star) approves of Jessica’s fuller figure:
She has curves where a woman needs to have curves. We all go a little bit up and a little bit down. But she’s healthy. She’s still sexy. She’s still a beautiful woman. And I have no problem with the way she looks.’ He adds, ‘I think if more people looked the way she looks now, the country would be a lot healthier.’ “
Jessica was a fantastic client. I think Jessica has a really healthy perspective on her healthy body image and looks like a woman. I would take her body any day over somebody who’s emaciated and looks unhealthy.”
The celebrity trainer wasn’t the only one who defended Jessica’s new figure – Ashlee Simpson was also there to support her sister – here’s what she had to say:
“Since when did a woman’s weight become newsworthy… 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 (”Jessica Simpson Shocks Fans With Noticeably Fuller Figure”.)
“All women come in different shapes, sizes, and forms and just because you’re a celebrity, there shouldn’t be a different standard. Is this something you would say to your wife, daughter, mother, grandmother, or even a friend? I seriously doubt it.
“How can we expect teenage girls to love and respect themselves in an environment where we criticize a size 2 figure? Now can we focus on the things that really matter. -Ash ”
“a size 2 figure”?
hmm ….I’m not sure about that
see! if ashley’s words are true then its just a problem of dressing better. fire her stylist now!
AMEN to the commen ts by the trainer and her sister.
The ONLY problem with this woman is her stylist.
…and she has no booty, but hey, genetics. lol Be proud girl.
I totally agree with the trainer and Ash. Go go Jessica!
I totally agree. I really apploud Ashlee to go out in public and defend her sister and for reminding all young girls out there that this skinny-trend has to stop. I also apploud Jessica for having those nice curves, she looks great! Much MUCH better now than when she was super-skinny in her Daisy Dukes days. She looks alot healthier and happier now. Go Simpson family!
ok, ash is right, but COME ON!! jess is definitely NOT size 2… she looks like size 10… at least
Uh yeah, she is NOT a two. No way. And I am sorry to break rank here but I thought she looked AMAZING in Dukes of Hazard and I don’t think she looks like she has “healthy curves” here, she looks like a couch potato. Sorry, but as someone who lacks her access to chefs and trainers and still manages to work out and eat right and stay thin I don’t feel a lot of empathy for her. And to bring the inauguration into it? Wha?
It’s really hard to take Ashley’s comments seriously when a) Jessica is def not a size 2 (taking a page out of Jennifer Love H. book I see!) and b)she brings out the self respect card when she obv. didn’t have enough that she went and fixed her nose.
Ashlee’s full of crap. When she got all emaciated & all of the tabloids were covering her weight loss, she didn’t say boo about it.
The simple fact is, the trainer is on her payroll & Ashlee likes attention. Stop pretending, people. Simple fact, if you want the limelight, you’ve got to take everything that comes with it. And Jessica Simpson has gained weight and is two calories away from FAT. Even if she wasn’t in Hollywood, we’d say the same thing.
Size 2? Do cameras put on 40 lbs now instead of 10?
There is nothing wrong with a few extra pounds, however, sqeezing yourself in an outfit like that is just not the brightest of ideas. Different outfit and she would have looked fine, healthy, normal (i know plenty of people who would die to have that body) .. High waisted jeans are pretty damn tricky to pull off!
I think it was just bad choice of clothing. I totally agree with Ashlee though- it totally makes us teenage girls feel even worse about ourselves. I’ve never agreed with Ashlee more, actually. It’s just effing stupid that crazy stuff like this has to, literally, make the headlines (for news aswell!) when there are much more horrific disasters going on in the world, people seem to think that this is more important. I’m sure her fans were like ‘okay, cool, she’s gained a few pounds but it’s not going to SHOCK us and RUIN our day’. I don’t think anyone gives a f—- further. Guys don’t even notice this kind of stuff, either.
People are so caught up on the size 2 comment and totalling ignoring the point.
The only place she has curves is in her bra top and the only explanation for a size 2(pants) is that she has no hips or butt and that the pants are stretch as for the top size impossible
i completely agree with ashley!
The point of Ashley is right, if speaking in general. But as for Jessica, she looks like a closet with a wig on. That’s the problem in fact : SHE HAS NO CURVES. Shes just …straight and big. No waist, no booty, just bulky with booooobs. Nobody would have a thing to say if she worked out and gain weight.
She used to look smokin’ hot in short jeans….
No one ever criticized her body when she was a size 2.
THERE WAS A DIFFERENT QUOTE FROM JESSICA SAYING HOW she said went from a 2 to an 8. Anyways yah yah blah blah about positve body image and not to look anorexic… but jess has the most unappealing upper body, i cant stand girls who have no defined shoulder to arm curve, her arms just look like they flop to her side. fine if she wants to eat more and have “curves” aka an extra layer of fat because jessica is no hourglass. but that doesnt mean you stop working out and lose all your muscle tone.
You guys!!!!!
She wasn’t saying Jessica is a size 2. She was just saying that they make such a big deal about people having to be that size.
Get over that comment already, your completely missing the point.
okay now the trainer says that a woman needs to have curves and think if the whole world looks like her, the country would be healthier? sorry but i disagree because i don’t look like jessica simpson and neither do other girls. women have different body shapes and sizes. not all skinny women are nasty looking because you can be skinny and still have curves. i do feel somewhat sad about jessica being pick on because she gained a few pounds but the way i see it, she doesn’t have a curvy body compared to beyonce and kim. if she was to toned her body then she would have that shape. plus i bet no one would defend a skinny woman if she was too skinny but so quick to defend women that has curves. what is this world coming to?
