Pete Wentz Explains Why He Lied About Ashlee Wentz Pregnancy
Last month, Pete Wentz blatantly denied to MTV News that his now-wife Ashlee Wentz-Simpson was pregnant. However, rumors continued to swirl, the couple immediately backed off from directly answering the question, and late Wednesday, the newlyweds finally announced on FriendsOrEnemies.com that she actually is pregnant.
The lie has obviously eating at Pete since he said it.
Here’s what Pete told MTV via e-mail on Thursday (May 29):
“Every woman, no matter who they are or what they do for a living, has the right to wait at least 3 months before sharing this very personal news,” he wrote. “We wanted to wait until after the first trimester and get a clean bill of health from our doctors before confirming anything, just like any other couple.
“Being a boy I have no idea how to respond to such things and my first instinct was to protect her and the baby.
“It’s insane that you can’t let happy news brew in Hollywood. This wasn’t about press or anything. It was about the health of the baby and trying to find a way to be happy with what should be the most happy time of our lives in the middle of a press blitz. I apologize to anyone who felt misinformed but the truth is, the person and growing baby is who I felt most loyal to protect and defend.”
