Jessica Simpson’s $4 million Weight Watchers deal may be in jeopardy after reports that she has fallen pregnant with her second child mid-way through her weight loss campaign.
While the 32-year-old has not yet confirmed or denied that she is expecting, Us Weekly reports that Weight Watchers executives are livid.
Jess was contracted as their spokeswoman throughout her inspiring journey to lose her baby weight after welcoming her first child, Maxwell Drew. Now, just five months later, Jess is said to be expecting her second child with fiance, former NFL player Eric Johnson.
“They’re furious at Jessica,” a source told the magazine.
“She was already on thin ice with them since she didn’t lose enough for a the first ad, when they had to shoot from the waist up.”
As a result of the fall-out, Jessica’s second campaign video, celebrating the fact that she has lost 30 kilos in five months after gaining more than 30 kilos during her pregnancy, may not air.
“They don’t think it can run,” the source said.
“No-one wants to hear about a pregnant woman dieting.”
But a friend of Jessica has come to her defence, saying: “It was Weight Watchers’ idea to shoot her from the waist up the first time.”
