Jessica Simpson Blindsided by Dad's Gay Bombshell

Jessica Simpson had absolutely no clue that her father was gay and its left her completely dumbfounded.

A source close to the Simpson family previously told RadarOnline.com, Jessica was completely blindsided by her father’s reported gay bombshell.

The pop star-turned-fashion-designer is struggling to come to terms with the revelation that dad Joe, a former youth minister and Baptist pastor, has come out of the closet, the source said.

But the insider insists that the 32-year-old Dukes of Hazzard star, who has a number of close gay friends in her life, has vowed to stand by her father despite his sexual preference.

“Jessica had absolutely no clue that her father was gay, not even the slightest inkling,” the source told Radar. “She thinks she has very good gaydar, especially since a lot of her friends are gay, but she did not see this coming at all.

“It was a complete shock to the system, she feels terribly for her mom who was left reeling by the announcement and her sister Ashlee has also taken the news quite badly.

“Jessica’s been trying to process the information slowly, but she’s having difficulty dealing with it. She can’t understand why Joe stayed married to Tina for so long, and can't help wondering how much of their life was a lie,” the source continues.

“Despite that, she’s going to stand by him and support his decision. After all, he’s still her father and Joe’s always been there for Jessica whenever she’s needed him...And not just as a father, but as her manager too.”
