In a 2009 cover story for Vanity Fair, writer Rich Cohen profiled singer Jessica Simpson. She was 28 years old at the time, with a new album on the way, post-Newlyweds and dating Dallas Cowboy Tony Romo. Simpson was infamously and vociferously dragged for everything from a weight gain to sporting a pair of “mom jeans” at an outdoor concert. Do you feel that your relationship with Tony Romo has affected his performance as a quarterback [because you are fat]?”That profile was just one of the many public punches Simpson took. It’s a moment of reprisal for Simpson, who was fat-shamed and slut-shamed for years while in the public eye.
