Jessica
Simpson Fires Back at Christian Critics
7/26/05
Jessica Simpson has fired back at Christian critics who have blasted
her raunchy new video These Boots are Made for Walking for being too sexy,
insisting they should be more accepting.
Members of Christian group The Resistance have publicly blasted pastors
daughter Simpson for appearing like "a stripper" in the video
wearing the skimpiest of bikinis and washing the Dukes of Hazzard's famous
General Lee car.
But the singer-turned-actress has hit back, stating the narrow-minded
comments are exactly the reason why she gave up a career as a Christian
singer when she was making her big break.
She says, "It didn't really surprise me because I grew up with a
lot of that backlash. That's why I didn't end up going into the Christian
music industry.
"I think that if they're really good Christians the judgment
wouldn't be there." |
