The fact that her father was there the entire time to witness everything that was going on the set. Disturbing.

[@missychelle33]

He was her manager? I think? At the time. So yea he should have been there bc he speaks on her behalf? I think. But nonetheless creepy for sure. Her dad was always a weirdo- and years later he truly embraced that weirdo after divorcing Tina.

[@marshaspell5148]

I was thinking that

[@Alexandra_Wolf]

He WAS. I grew up watching this. When this show started her career TOOK OFF and he wasn’t getting booked for anything without her. Sometimes they would ask her and him to be on a cover and then say last minute “we just want Jess”. She was working her ass off and he just was so bitter. He married her because she was naive and needed him and it made him feel good. As she grew into her own and became way more knowledgeable than him he hated it. He liked yo feel superior.

[@whitneyhaze5090]

You’ll notice Jessica has a lot good pointers for nick whenever he’s performing or doing music videos to songs. She helps him and he just gets pissy with her. She’s in the same business and knows exactly what is going on .. smh. Makes me cringe as much as his music videos do and plus it’s not the video. You can have a stupid music videos and the song would save it. Lol 😂

[@tammiepage6489]

You can cringe all you fucking want and I’m not saying that to be mean, but how is she feel somebody sit there and gave her criticism or pointers or whatever she would actually be upset too in fact, when the studio I remember, there was an episode where the studio told her that they wanted to sing the song differently she got upset about it that was kind of the criticism and pointers too I remember her getting upset about it because they’re both in the business and they when you love to do what you love to do it is kind of annoying when somebody tries to do that common sense that does get annoying I do think Nick is a little more sensitive than Jessica is and you know there was things that you know I never noticed back then like he rose all the time at her I never really noticed it, but she never talk to him about it, and when he kept doing it if it bothers her, she never talk to him about it there’s just much her fault too because somebody if you don’t talk to somebody about it or whatever and how they know that something bothers you With you’re taking it like they’re making fun of you I mean I say outrageous thing sometimes you’re gonna get laughs at and she laughed with them so I never seemed like a big deal back then because she always seem to laugh about it too but anyway again, anybody that loves they love to do reality check it bothers you with somebody tells you what to do or tries to give you pointers. It doesn’t matter. If she’s in the business he was hell he was in the business long than her with his band. I need degrees he had to do it his own way, whether it failed or not you know that was his choice, but he had to do what he was comfortable with doing not telling him what to do Common sense as far as my understanding he came out before she did so he was technically in the business longer than her because she was more successful the time with her solo stuff than he was so he had to do his own way and plus that does without any artist will be that way any goddamn artist when they get criticism by people they love so of course I wanna get upset common sense stop sending to making your statements based on somebody because you don’t like them cause I know that comes from you just not liking thempeople stop being so biased just cause they don’t like somebody and criticizing every damn thing

[@audreaphillips2994]

She's also always been very successful so he should've listened but he was too busy being jealous.

[@ashtonbrooks4399]

I sense jealousy from him about how successful she is…

[@rein2430]

That's exactly what it is.

[@gemmastaines5706]

In his mind, he probably thought he’d be a sure fire success, after all Justin Timberlake had done the same thing a year before (left a boyband, gorgeous blonde singer girlfriend/wife etc) Plus Larry Rudolf was his manager, Wade Robson & Robin Anthil were creative directors!

She’s sweet but totally unsupportive of nick’s career in certain areas. She’s so spoiled that she doesn’t realize when she’s hurting his feelings and all. I mean they both weren’t completely compatible with each other. It’s obvious. Sad though to see them walk out.

The way he talked to her is obviously part of the show. I can't believe people think it is real just because it is called reality tv. Everything is rehearsed.

Jessica even said in her book how she fell out of love with Nick because of the many jabs he threw at her and how he talked down to her a lot. She said that wasn’t scripted and that’s how he actually acted. He’s not that good of an actor to make it look that believable. So don’t be naive. Jessica was the one who lived this experience and not you. So she would know more than you.

You know he was living off of his royalty at the time Doesn’t always last eventually your fame could fizzle out and then you sit there and lose everything you know celebrities end up going bankrupt. It’s funny how you were criticizing him and everything cause you wanna hate him that’s on you if you wanna hate him because you know but stop being a hypocrite yourself act like Jessica since so imperfect I love Jessica Simpson but she’s not fucking perfect, but I don’t think you criticize too much of a video what she chose to do her music videos thing cause I don’t think I’ve ever heard him say anything about her music videos he usually talks about you know when she spends all underwear or something like that which lies are outrageous is ridiculous.

She was nearly in tears at the end of the previous episode and her voice kept breaking. He’s such an abusive ass. She’s the breadwinner and he is shaming her for wanting to spend the money she’s busting her ass to earn while he sits on his ass. Loser. Painful to watch. They probably loved each other at one time. He wanted a housewife but he knew what he was getting and then was shocked when he got exactly what he signed up for. He could have delighted in her success but instead acted like a toddler. Her expectations were also a mess. He was an ass and she expected a wedding to change his personality for some reason. “If someone tells you who they are, believe them.”

[@kylehollie]

Then, your heartless because actually, I can’t easily feel bad for him so nobody ever realizes maybe he actually the way he did because he was frustrated did ever crush your mind. He’s human just like everybody else. If the situation reverse, you don’t think Jessica would act similar cause I guarantee she probably would too, because she would’ve been frustrated because there’s been a few of episodes when she was a little bitchy too, but don’t point that out just be biased, right

You heard that saying opposites attract me my man are different and we’ve been together for 12 years. I will never taste somebody that has everything in common with me because then that’s like dating myself. It is some people don’t wanna make it work just because you’re too different, but there’s ways to make it work when you’re different but if you wanna date somebody that exactly like you, you better date yourself.

[@pamelasmith6221]

Being different has nothing to do with it. Love conquers all. If two people legit love each other then they can make it work. My husband and I have been together for 39 years married 30. He’s loud, outgoing and I’m quiet and introverted yet we have made it last because we love each other and we wanted to be together and we respect our vows.

If you notice this episode when they’re on shoot when they say somebody her dad coming she look like she was a little embarrassed about that. I’m not her I’m not 100% sure yet. I think Nick by Nick thought he didn’t say anything but it probably bothered him. I mean one thing to say you’re proud of your daughter for waiting to have sex to be married, that’s one thing to say that and there’s nothing wrong with him saying that but he should’ve just left at that you know I mean it says, but she’s like another said they keep over and over again cause even mothers don’t even do that wrong I was close to my mom before she passed away, and I did talk to her about life but not that extent and she never asked to that extent or made comments like that but it would’ve been different her making comments like that she was a woman and she’s my mombut she did make comments like that it would be like playing around though, but she never did

It feels like he supposed to be the breadwinner there’s a lot of guys like that that they don’t like the woman being the breadwinner, not a bad person who are such hypocrites though because they don’t see anything bad Jessica does but yet everything bad Nick I mean grow the fuck up just cause you don’t like him wake up and realize OK yeah they’re both bad things they both had bad qualities because Jessica was not perfect. I’m so sick and tired. He will be biased of celebrities just cause they’re fan of somebody but I’m not a damn person I never will be Because she did have bad qualities just like he did and if she had an issue with something the way he talked, she should’ve sat there and be a grown woman and talk to him and if he still continue to do it then OK time to move on

She was waiting until marriage for sex..that’s why.

[@celissewillis9399]

I think Jessica's continual success was intimidating to Nick. He said in the Valentine's episode that he doesn't not like having/being in control. So imagine having a partner like Jessica, who is both beautiful & a bit ditzy, climbing more than you in a career that you are ALSO in. As a man, I think that made him feel like less of one & that likely contributed to their marriage falling apart. Maybe not the main reason, but it definitely played a role! Even with all her spending habits & the large chunk of money she had to pay out for the divorce because they had no prenup, she STILL went on to become massively successful. I don't necessarily consider her a style icon, but the girl learned some serious marketing skills to keep her & her businesses booming & relevent.

[@obsidiansea]

1:52 - Honest question - who is he trying to market to? I'd love to hear the thoughts of someone with expertise in this area. 98 Degrees' fan base was girls/women, right? So, who is he trying to market to when he has stripper-like dancers but then takes his shirt off? He managed to turn off both female & male fans. Plus, boy bands were just out of style by then, and so was he, by association. I think Enrique Iglesias' Hero song/video (2001) is a good example of something from that era that was sexy and appealed to both male & female fans. Nick's video here (1st version) is like a self-published romance novel book cover. I just watched his Shut Up video (the Dax version), and while it's better, Nick still looks and sounds 100% boy band, just without the rest of the band.

She looks sooooooooo bored by his video! NO Enthusiam, NO Excitement, NO Support, NO encouragement, NO Love, NO NOTHING

[@JK-qr9rt]

OMG I just realised the song during video shoot is not Jessica. The uploader changed the music due to copyright I guess.

[@Swayz7777]

No MTV did. Do they wouldn’t have to pay. They did to Laguna Beach, Rich Girls, and True life episodes.

[@oceanequestrian11]

@@SS-dp7lt they would have to pay the artists of the songs for the right to play them on their program or possibly get sued

6:19 Dude is STRessed! 😂

[@StrawberryJam806]

To think that the label spent that much money on Nick’s video and it flipped harder than anything in history is so depressing.

[@TheMallyjoe]

It was a great video sweetest sin

[@laetitia7630]

6MIN42 I adore her outfit at Jess :)

[@pauljohn.zac23]

they look like Barbie and Ken, aw i missed them

[@catd315]

Her dad was just a control freak. He had to orchestrate everything, and it took a really bad toll on their marriage

[@RachelleBanuelos]

I can’t laugh 🤣🤣 ow 🤣🤣🤣 she’s so funny

[@andratoilee]

10:08 . Ain’t that fking weird 🙃😩😰😳

[@fkngr8]

Maybe Nick watched these shows and realized WHY Jessica left and figured out what NOT to do in his next relationship. He was a jerk to her. Super happy right now there is no video evidence of how I acted in my marriage, I would have probably looked like the a$$hole too.

[@asmrcat5130]

Oh my God that music video is embarrassing lol

[@tashaneuhaus]

I give him props for being salesman like and pushing for his career but dude...sorry next

[@Kekristine]

When he said he was looking like a scrub I was thinking wow he’s never looked hotter. Personally I’ve never been highly attracted to him until that scene.

[@Marlo_xo]

Watching this as a 31 year old adult now, after working years in film, television and reality television and just having more common sense I guess when it comes to television than a 13 year old …(although I must say, it seemed suspect to me as youngster I just didn’t get it yet) I’m noticing how lazy this was edited, especially with the whole repeating things they all said earlier in the episode in different places or like 4 times (they really can’t even cut off some of it to make it sound a teeny bit more realistic!?) or footage of someone like 5 times making the same expression. It’s baaaaaddddd. Yes MTV, you got me as a 13 year old. As an adult I see you may be some of the laziest editors I’ve ever seen on reality tv. People aren’t *that* stupid. And the editing overall to make them seem worse than they are as humans (Nick more mean, even though he does seem it. Jessica more ditzy, even though she does seem it, their marriage being crappy… even though it does seem bad to me now) Is just lazy and shady AF. And also unnecessary. It’s still entertaining without that

[@scarlettroger1508]

Jesus Christ please save us from Nick’s dancing. I’m interested to know how he sees it now, Cringe or Pride?

[@SXI96]

I dance nude like that every morning in front of a mirror, tell myself I'm a ladies man, and admire my hairy body.. a great confidence booster

[@iamreborn3463]

Do not use the Lords name in vain please

[@anniearmijo8898]

I was never a boy band fan, & looking at this video I cannot take this music seriously!! And I agree with the other comments he spoke to her so disrespectfully

[@pamelasmith6221]

It was a show for audience draws. I’m sure a lot was scripted.

[@crystalsherman8896]

I was 19/20 when this show came out. One of my favorites. It was so weird to me than and now what her father said. Eww. What's even weirder is having to kiss and be in bed with your husband with tons of people including your family around. I couldn't do it

[@Samaya928]

Who else is here after tik tok ?

[@kristinazubic9669]

What was on tik tok??

[@sonatak304]

Did he grab her by the mouth to shut her up?!

[@mt.billings1234]

What is he doing with his lips

[@armyofone13]

I remember magazines (or whatever at that time) using the contrast of their video shoots to highlight how they were in different worlds economically but I think ppl forget the age factor-he was a full adult when they met and she was barely of age. Of course her family was still doting all over her. And btw, super cringe that discussing her sexuality was so heavily normalized.

[@asmrcat5130]

That dad is a creep. Totally inappropriate. I liked them as a couple. I wanted them to make it. I remember the show it was good.

[@gradetrend8138]

He's always instigating fights and stirring the pot , so glad she's not with him anymore he's a misery

[@excellentttt]

the irony is that video ended up being awful but the song itself is a nonstarter.

[@jennifers2534]

The video is so cheesy LOL!!!

[@deesee3622]

Not a good single choice he should have released a better track or just went with the ballad this I swear

[@Neptunianmind]

Sex is not a sin for one, two sex in marriage? Wtf is she saying? Her dad, what a creep. I mean big time weird vibes!🎉

[@marihascary]

I know the show is scripted, at least to an extent, but did they really write Nick this way, or is he just a jerk? BC this does not look good, lol

[@chris5103]

He was always jealous of her
