Everything would have been a happy ever after for Simpson until her recent comments in an interview about her former husband "98 Degrees" singer Nick Lachey. She apparently called Lachey the biggest financial mistake of her life, referring to the divorce payout Lachey received when the couple split in 2006. According to a source close to Simpson, "The real story is that Jessica paid Nick $12 million in the divorce. That is what she meant when she said her first marriage was her biggest money mistake!"

According to In Touch Weekly, the real story behind the brewing feud is that when they were about to get married, Simpson's father convinced her not to sign a pre-nuptial agreement with her would be husband because at the time, Lachey was worth more that Simpson's in terms of earnings in their respective careers. But it all changed one year into their marriage when Simpson decided to launch her own fashion line.

Everything went quiet after their divorce and at the start of the year, Lachey even told media that there are no hard feelings for the former couple and that they have moved on with their lives. He also added that he no longer kept in touch with his former wife. However, the comments made by Simpson has reached him and it is now being reported that Lachey is not taking the matter sitting down. "They're at war again," the source explained. "Her comments have caused him to explode."
