Jessica Simpson Calls America's Obsession With Weight Disgusting in Allure Magazine

In the March issue of Allure magazine, Jessica Simpson seems to have come into her own. Fresh off the heels of filming the reality show The Price of Beauty, the actress gives the finger to America's obsession with weight: "It's disgusting. My job is to be creative, and I'm not weighing in for anybody."

Over the years, she's endured a ton of scrutiny for her weight. There was of course the infamous Jeansgate scandal, which was cause for the media to pounce on her like a starved lion. Talking about that time in her life, Jessica says, "I would not wish on my worst enemy what I went through."

But Jessica gets the last laugh. She's looking better than ever in her cover shoot: poised, svelte (no doubt from all that boxing she's been doing), and calm. She's also traded her sweet side for a bit of snark: "When I walk through an airport and people go, 'You're not fat!' I'm like, 'Thanks. Thanks. That's great. Good to know I'm not fat today. Thank you!'"
