Jessica Simpson Hints At Abuse

Jessica Simpson tells Elle magazine that she has suffered physical abuse. Nick Lachey can't be happy about this. He seems like the first guess most people will have as to "who." Me? I'm totally pointing the finger at Dane Cook. I don't like that guy.

Jessica Simpson has alluded to being in an abusive relationship.

The singer, 28, made the startling revelation in a candid interview with America's Elle magazine.

When asked if she's been physically abused, Simpson replied, "I don't want to talk about it, but I have definitely experienced abuse in a way that I would tell people to take their heart and run."

Jessica's first country music album, Do You Know, is set for release on September 9. She worked on the album with her inspiration Dolly Parton.

Jessica said that the songs in the album are autobiographical and the lyrics for the song Remember That include the lines, "It doesn't matter how he hurts you, With his hands or with his words, You don't deserve it, It ain't worth it, Take your heart and run."

Jessica has previously revealed she was viciously bullied while at school, with those responsible even attacking her home.

She said, "I would walk down the school halls and hear people talking about me. Some of them would throw toilet paper at my house or throw eggs at my door.

"They would also write things on the sidewalk in permanent marker. They really hated me."

Jessica married Nick Lachey on October 26, 2002, when she was 22 years of age. She filed for divorce on December 16, 2005, citing "irreconcilable differences."

Following her divorce she reportedly dated her Employee of the Month (2006) co-star Dane Cook and Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine.

Jessica dated rocker John Mayer for over nine months starting August 2006. She is currently dating Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo. The two have been together since November 2007.
