Fall Out Boy Slam 'Poisonous' Ashlee Simpson Claims

Fall Out Boy have hit out at ‘claims’ that they blame Pete Wentz’ girlfriend Ashlee Simpson for their lack of Grammy Awards nominations.

The band were vocally quite miffed at the Grammy’s decision not to put them up for a single gong, but a New York Daily News journalist published quotes which took this a step further.

The quotes lifted from OK! Mag, read: “The guys in FOB are furious — they think everything Ashlee touches is poison, and they really want her to stop touching Pete!”

In response, guitarist Joe Trohman blasted: "I usually don't respond to this, but this just irked me slightly. Know that first off, this is what we like to call complete tabloid ********. We don't have any "pals" that gossip to the tabloids over our business. Those kind of folk are called douchebags, and we don't fraternize with douchebags. We also don't blame a certain someone for our lack of a Grammy nod.

“That's absolutely ******* absurd. We might be irrational, chemically imbalanced babies, but our discontent is only directed at those who we feel slighted us to a degree. And at the same time, we're just over it. We don't need to be validated by a piece of metal. Don't believe the gossip columns out there. This "poisonous" person that was mentioned is nothing short of awesome, and we fully back her. Everything in Camp FOB is all good."

Consider yourselves told.
