Guess big sister Jessica Simpson was feeling protective of her little sis Ashlee, when she recently went on Twitter to bash the new Melrose Place, which Ashlee was recently booted from.  Jessica tweeted:

CW catching up on MP.who writes this crap? i have had bad scripts to work with,but this?thank God my sister is amazing and got you some press

Ashlee’s “people” must not have been too happy with Jessica slamming the show and tried to do some quick damage control by releasing this statement shortly after Jessica’s insults:

“Having the chance to play Violet on Melrose Place has been a thrill. Although I always knew her story would come to a final, insanely unpredictable end, playing a creepy, unstable character was something I always wanted to do, so I jumped at the chance. Thanks to the CW and the entire cast and crew of Melrose Place for allowing me this opportunity.”
