Jessica Simpson didn’t share everything in her best-selling memoir Open Book. In a new short story for Amazon Original Stories, the singer detailed a secret romance she had with a “massive movie star” years ago. The entertainer reveals a lot about their romance — how they met, where they kissed for the first time and how things ended — but she didn’t reveal the mystery man’s name.
“This is a very personal story and I really thought I would never share it!”. Writing it down, she says, brought back memories of her fast track to worldwide fame. “The whole period was very surreal,” she says. “There were times I had a lot of fun, don’t get me wrong! But a lot of the time it felt isolating because I am someone who likes to deeply connect with people and I didn’t know who was trustworthy and who was not.”
Looking back, she says, “I learned you can’t always take people at their very persuasive word — seems obvious but it really isn’t when you are dealing with someone who sells it so well.” And she came away with a life lesson or two. “Not betraying your own heart and diminishing your self-worth actually feels so much better than immediate gratification if living in a lie,” she says. “I also learned that there is a wide range of what monogamy means in Hollywood!”
Jessica Simpson detailed her “sexy” yet “demeaning” connection with the unnamed actor in “Movie Star.
The “Dukes of Hazzard” alum, 42, was on a break from Nick Lachey when the “hot” mystery A-lister “eyed up and down” at the 2001 MTV Video Music Awards.
“He was undressing me with his eyes, ” Simpson told readers.
Although the “Blonde Ambition” star got the man’s number, she ultimately reconciled with Lachey, 49, and did not call.
The mystery man told Simpson at the time that his relationship with his girlfriend was “completely over. ”
He and Simpson went on to hang out in nightclubs, at her mutual friend’s house and even on a movie set.
Eventually, the fashion designer began to feel “like a call girl” who was only there “to have sex” with the celeb.
Simpson ended things, writing, “I didn’t care if he was my teenage fantasy come to life, this was not a choice that same girl, my younger self, would be proud of. ”
