In the Friday episode of Tamron Hall, Jessica Simpson discussed an inadvertent advantage of having her sexuality discussed publicly, no matter how disrespectful she found it: a “long line” of curious gentleman suitors. In 2010 interview, Mayer described Simpson, whom he had been dating intermittently for about a year, as “sexual napalm”. Simpson wrote in his memoirs, Open the book, that she considered the way he discussed it “in the most degrading terms” and had to answer questions about those terms in interviews for years.
“Talking about someone sexually is disrespectful, but that’s his fault,” she told Hall.
However, she added with a laugh: “What he did was definitely give me a long line of guys. Many people were knocking on my door … I think he thought I would like that, but I prefer someone to come after me because of my heart or see something more in me than the world sees. “
Hall asked Simpson about the recent claim that he “almost cried five times” while watching Framing Britney Spears. After the FX / Hulu document was executed, Justin Timberlake published a apologies to Spears (just like Janet Jackson). Hall wondered if Simpson thought Mayer should follow Timberlake’s example and apologize for Simpson’s treatment. At the Open the book, Simpson describes his relationship as “harmful” and Mayer as “manipulator”.

“No, I definitely don’t feel like I owe a public apology,” said Simpson. “You can’t go back.”
“I wouldn’t expect an apology, I don’t think there is a need for an apology because I feel that people end up finding a way to let you know they are sorry,” said Simpson. “And I think he may not be sorry and everything is fine.”
From his speculation that Mayer may not regret it, we can infer that he did not contact Simpson after she wrote about their relationship in such detail in his book. A particularly insightful sample:
I was a pet bird. He would throw me into the sky and watch me catch air and fly long enough for it to mean anything when he pulled a gun out of his back pocket to shoot me, aiming deftly to scrape a wing, never a deadly shot to end misery . And to think that every time I fell on the floor, broken and bewildered, he was slow to walk. Watching me to take notes and hum a new song of disgust.
And every time he “found me”, I looked at him, grateful to be deceived, sorry for the problems I must have caused him.
I wish I had left that moment. I did not do. He made me so confused that within twenty minutes I was fully involved in his “wait and see” terms. It seemed inevitable to be in love with John, so I kept talking to him for months. I told friends that I was “back” with him, and they put on emotional bandages. But I knew now that I shouldn’t let him get close enough to shoot me again. This bird would not go back to the cage, no matter how much he needed a song.
That’s it a great book. Simpson’s current printing cycle is linked to its recent paperback release.
