Jessica Simpson published a dummy article titled “Movie Star: They Always Say They’re Single” in Amazon Original Story on Wednesday. In the short story, Simpson briefly recounts that she was the other woman with a “massive movie star” who had a crush as a child/teen. Simpson said the aforementioned movie star claimed to be single just for Getty Images to denounce him. “I would never be the other woman in a million years,” she wrote. The man claimed he and the girlfriend were “completely over,” which placated Simpson for a while. Eventually, Simpson felt objectified and humiliated by the star and left him because she “didn’t care if he was my teenage fantasy brought to life, this wasn’t a choice that that same girl, my younger self, would be proud of.” Good for you! But who is this star? What about his girlfriend who lied to him? Let’s try to figure this out blindly. Here are the clues:
➽ The man was already famous when Simpson was a teenager.
➽ Simpson writes that she first met the movie idol at J.Lo’s VMAs after-party in 2001. She and Nick Lachey took a break, and this man “went undressed [her] with his eyes.”
➽ After the Newlyweds stars finally split in 2006, Simpson made out with the unnamed superstar at the Beverly Hills Hotel while preparing for a big awards show.
➽ Simpson said the star spoke to his spiritual advisor about her. “He says sex brings you closer to God,” he reportedly said.
➽ He said he was single, but a photo on the red carpet proved that wasn’t true.
➽ The movie star invited her on the set of a project directed by someone “known to even the most laid-back movie buff.”
