Vivica A. Fox is shooting down talk of
Jessica Simpson's alleged diva-like behavior on the set of their new film together,
Major Movie Star, labeling recent reports nothing but "vicious lies", People reports. Fox tells she was shocked when a story surfaced from
Major Movie Star's Louisiana location accusing Simpson of being a spoiled brat by supposedly refusing to walk from one place to the next without a driver, eating alone in her trailer and barely speaking to her costars, especially Fox.
"Those vicious lies they put out were just that – lies," Fox, 43, said Saturday in Malibu. In fact, Fox said that Simpson was anything but a diva. "She was so much of a team player. She was gracious and so down to earth." Fox continues, "She showed a lot of physicality, like 90 percent of all her own stunts, and she sacrificed so much of her body for this movie"
Literally. While filming last week, Simpson accidentally injured her nose with a prop gun. "During the scene she looked really intense when I looked in her eyes, and I just thought she was really into it. But when the director yelled, 'Cut,' Jessica came over to me and said, 'Vivica I hit my nose with the gun.' We got ice immediately ... Most girls would've stopped right then and there, but she was ready to do another take. She's wonderful," Vivcia added.
