Ashlee Simpson and her sister ventured out to Katsuya restaurant for a late night dinner in Hollywood
Ashlee Simpson and her sister went out for a late night dinner at Katsuya restaurant in Hollywood last weekend. The Simpson sisters were accompanied by their BFF, hairstylist Ken Paves.
Earlier in the day, Ashlee made sure to tend to her motherly duties – as she was spotted by paparazzi arriving at the restaurant Se–or Fred with her son Bronx and mother Tina Simpson.
It seems that Jessica Simpson has managed to anger a number of Native American groups, when she said that she was not an Indian giver.
Earlier in the week, a TMZ reporter asked Simpson if she was going to ask Tony Romo to return the boat that she had given to him as a gift when the relationship was still going strong. She replied, “I’m not an Indian giver.”
Jessica reportedly spent $100,000 on the boat back in April. Unfortunately, Jessica and Tony never even used the now infamous boat.
Jacqueline L. Pata, executive director of the National Congress of American Indians, told Us Magazine Simpson isn’t the only person who uses the phrase in an offensive sense.
“Most people flippantly use the comment ‘Indian giver’ without realizing its true meaning, Pata said.
The concept of Indians giving and sharing with one another is where the term originated, she explained, but has somehow morphed into an insensitive phrase that stereotypes Native people as ones who give and then take back.
When TMZ spotted Jessica outside Katsuya in Hollywood and asked about her recent quote, she replied, “I am Indian, alright?”
