Nick Lachey is now offering a more thorough peek inside his former marriage to Jessica Simpson than viewers were allowed to see on their Newlyweds reality series.
"Jessica and I began playing these parts even when we were by ourselves," he says of their roles. "It became a really blurred line. There was a question about what truly was our reality."
Lachey, 32, makes the comments to Rolling Stone in a new interview, excerpts of which were released to USA Today.
Among Lachey's more startling revelations: "I'll tell you how I knew my marriage was over: I was told."
As for lingering doubts about his three-year-marriage, Lachey admits: "I don't know if there were other men. But if she did cheat, it was the result of something bigger, not the reason we didn't work. ... Sometimes I think it would be easier if I had just walked in the house and found her in bed with a guy. That would be clear-cut. End of story. I wouldn't have to deal with the uncertainty of adultery."
Lachey also lifts the veil on his feelings about ex-father-in-law (and Jessica's manager) Joe Simpson. "I don't pretend to understand Joe," he says. "I don't know if he ever liked me. To this day I couldn't say. It was painful. Do I think Joe drove a rift between us? No. Was he an influence in our marriage? Absolutely."
In related news, the music publication also says that singer-songwriter Adam Green has a big new hit in Germany called "Jessica," described as an unflattering ditty about Nick's ex. Its lyrics reportedly mention her "fraudulent smile" and "injections of cortisone."
I just think it's inappropriate to air your dirty laundry to the world. Kinda tacky IMO. To each her own though; I can see how you might not find it inappropriate since he seems to be trying to be honest.
But I still think one can be honest and quiet about personal matters.
I'm not really a fan of celebrities spilling all -- I think it creates this vicious cycle of them telling us more, and then the public wanting more, and it just makes their lives worse because they're basically being hunted like animals by paparazzi and crazy fans. However, I don't blame him for saying any of this stuff. He's going through a Hollywood divorce and that essentially amounts to a PR war between the two parties.

Yeah, I see what you are saying Drew, but I agree with scarlett - I guess having myself gone through a divorce where untrue things were being said about me at some point you just have enough & want to put your 2 cents out there. That was my situation in a smaller city on such a smaller scale - I can't imagine how frustrating it must be when there is this much publicity attached.....
