Fans rally around Jessica Simpson after old Newlyweds clips resurface
In the early 2000s, Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey were one of the biggest power couples in Hollywood. After they finalized their divorce in 2006, they went on to marry other people and have children with their new partners.
Celebrity divorces are often messy. And like many other exes, Nick and Jessica aren’t friendly with one another to this day. But old footage of the couple reemerged on TikTok and fans have some very strong opinions on the clips.
Newlyweds ran from 2003-2005 and explored Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey’s married life. And as fans all now know, that clearly did not work out for them.
A recent TikTok displays a clip from the series and it doesn’t paint Nick Lachey in a positive light.
“You’re a spoiled brat. You’re a bratty girl,” the singer tells his wife. Back in the early 2000s, viewers generally didn’t take issue with the scene. But in 2023, the public had a very different reaction.
@y2k.reality Replying to @y2k.reality The level of audacity is astounding. #mtvnewlyweds #newlyweds #jessicasimpson #nicklachey #realitytv #fyp #y2k #y2krealitytv #millennial #2000s #mtvrealityshow #mtv
“Growing up is realizing Nick was the problem….. the whole time 🤯” one fan wrote in the comments on the TikTok video.
“The way he called her brat… you can just hear how much he doesn’t like her 🥺” another added. A few others pointed out that this clip was possibly just the tip of the iceberg. After all, reality television can’t possibly capture every moment of a person’s life.
The TikTok in question came up during Jessica Simpson’s interview with Bustle.
“It’s amazing what publicity can do,” the singer said in response.
The exes agree they’re better off apart
Although Nick Lachey and Jessica Simpson didn’t stay friends after the divorce, they do agree on one thing; the divorce was definitely a positive thing.
The 42-year-old singer told Bustle that she’s working on a brand new docuseries. The project will reportedly center around Jessica Simpson’s big return to the music scene.
“We’re about to start shopping it around,” she said.
And as for Nick Lachey, Netflix subscribers can catch him as the host of the dating show, Love Is Blind. He doesn’t often speak about his previous marriage on the show, but he surprised many viewers when he proclaimed that “marriage is always better the second time.”
