Jessica Simpson gets told off by mum for “embarrassing” performance

Jessica Simpson reportedly got a good telling off by her mum after she flubbed her performance of “9 to 5″ in front of Dolly Parton and George W Bush at the Kennedy Center Honors event last weekend.

According to TMZ, Tina Simpson was furious as Jessica messed up on stage, forgetting the lyrics to the song and struggling to hold up her strapless dress.

A source overhead Tina calling Jessica’s performance “embarrassing” and “unprofessional”, and criticised her daughter for missing a dress rehearsal and clearly not learning the lyrics to the song. Tina also reportedly told her that Jessica should get out of the business if she didn’t want to put in the work needed to be successful.

Dad Joe Simpson however wasn’t so peturbed, calling the performance “cute”.

Jessica later refilmed the song without anyone in the audience. Her spokesperson blamed nerves and distracting problems with the dress for the slip-ups.
