Jessica Simpson compares herself to Jayne Mansfield in THAT iconic photo

Jessica Simpson has slammed a Vogue writer who said she ‘put her breasts on a platter’ in a piece celebrating the history of the famed Met Gala.

Sharing her anger at ‘being shamed for having boobs’, Jessica called the description of her 2007 outfit ‘nauseating’.

Alongside her words, the mother-of-three shared an iconic 1957 image of Jayne Mansfield, in which Sophia Loren casts a sidewards glare at the blonde’s abundant cleavage as they sit together at a dinner thrown in the Italian star’s honor. 

‘Feeling a little like Jayne Mansfield after reading this (inaccurate!) oral history of the #MetBall where I am body shamed by #SallySinger,’ wrote Jessica on Instagram. 

‘But in all seriousness I have persevered through shaming my own body and internalizing the world’s opinions about it for my entire adult life. To read this much anticipated article about the classiest fashion event there is and have to be shamed by another woman for having boobs in 2020 is nauseating.’

Former Vogue creative digital director Singer had contributed her reminiscences about the Met Gala to a longform piece for the magazine.  

She had been seated with Jessica and then-boyfriend, the singer John Mayer, and recalled him flirting with the singer. 

She wrote: ‘One year Jessica Simpson was there with John Mayer. She was wearing Michael Kors and her breasts maybe fell out of her dress on the red carpet…and then at dinner it was suddenly like, whoa, Jessica Simpson’s breasts are across from me at the dinner table and they are on a platter and I’m looking at them. 

‘And John Mayer was putting his hands on them at the dinner table. He kind of reached down and I just remember thinking, Oh, celebrities, feel free to play here. That’s what’s going on.’

Jessica’s 2007 gown for the Poiret: King of Fashion-themed bash was actually designed by Roberto Cavalli, with who Jessica walked the red carpet.

But she was joined inside the bash by Mayer, with whom she had a turbulent on/off relationship, eventually splitting later in 2007.

Jessica recalled in her memoir, Open Book, which was released in February of this year, that after just a few months of dating, John repeatedly told her how ‘obsessed’ he was with her, ‘sexually and emotionally.’ 

Three years after their split, John did an interview with Playboy magazine, where he said: ‘That girl, for me, is a drug. And drugs aren’t good for you if you do lots of them. Yea, that girl is like crack cocaine to me. Sexually it was crazy. That’s all I’ll say. It was like napalm. sexual napalm.’ 

In her memoir, Jessica recalled the comments as ‘shocking,’ because ‘a woman and how they are in bed is not something that is ever talked about.’

She wrote that she believes that ‘he thought that was what I wanted to be called,’ but instead she was ‘floored and embarrassed that my grandmother was actually gonna read that.’
