Kenny Chesney issued a statement to People Magazine to dispell tabloid rumors claiming that he and Jessica Simpson had a “hot beach hookup.” The current issue of Star Magazine claims that Simpson flirted with Chesney at a party on July 4th.
“Tony’s a friend, and I wouldn’t flirt with a buddy’s girlfriend,” Chesney tells People. “More importantly, Jessica was just being sweet and there was nothing else to it. It’s not funny. There were no problems. Everybody got along great. After the party, everybody went their own way and nobody thought anything more about it. Period. End of story.”
The party was thrown by Sean Payton, coach of pro football’s New Orleans Saints.
“If a girl and her boyfriend can’t go to someone’s house for a Fourth of July party and talk to the other guests without it turning into a big nightmare … , then I feel really sorry for Jessica and Tony, who’re both really nice people,” Chesney says. “I wonder if I wasn’t famous if anyone would even care. But the fact of the matter is I talked to a bunch of guests, hung out, had a good time.”
There you have it…this rumor is just that, a RUMOR.
