Eminem Defends Mocking Fat Jessica Simpson

May 15, 2009
Eminem Defends Mocking Fat Jessica SimpsonEminem has defended his decision to include an overweight parody of Jessica Simpson in his video 'We Made You'.

The rapper says the reason he they aped Jessica Simpson was because she was actually fat at the time the video was made.

He tells the Metro Times: "Jessica got fat. I mean, not really fat, but she certainly got fat.

“I've always wanted people to be able to look back at each video and go, 'Oh, remember what was going on at that moment! Oh, that's when JESSICA SIMPSON got fat.' And even if she gets thin again, that's fine.

“But for that moment in time, she was fat."
