Jessica Simpson doesn’t show for Saturday’s Dallas Cowboys game

Jessica Simpson reportedly failed to show-up for Saturday's Dallas Cowboys game against rival team the Carolina Panthers in Charlotte, N.C. – only a week after fans criticized the singer's presence as a distraction to her boyfriend and Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo.

After the 20-13 win over the Panthers, Romo told reporters that former 'Newlyweds' star Simpson, 27, was indeed watching the game – and even hinted that she may have been in attendance.

"I know she saw all of that tonight," Romo said after the game, when asked if Simpson had seen fans wearing masks of her face. "She was at the game tonight, so I don't know," he told People.com "I don't talk about my personal life."

After Romo endured the worst game of his professional career last week, fans of opposing teams started the website RuinRomo.com, which offers a Simpson mask that visitors can download, print and wear to games in an effort to jinx the multi-million dollar quarterback.

This week, Romo told the NFL Network that Simpson was bothered by the negative attention.

"I don't care how the perception is of me," Romo said. "But it hurts me when it hurts people that are close to me . . . That's part of being in the public eye."
