Jessica Simpson broke her silence over a mean-spirited cartoon broadcast during Fox's Sunday football coverage in a segment sponsored by Burger King, just hours after the fast foot chain deflected the wrongdoing and Fox apologized Wednesday.

Simpson Tweeted: "i will never understand why people attack for a laugh. own your beauty and don't listen to the judgement" in response to the cartoon that implied that the ex- of Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo was so heavy, she could actually play for the football team.
