SpeedFit owner
Alex Astilean was contacted by a talent agency, knowing he had a brand new Fitness system, to do an exercise video with
Jessica Simpson back in 2004. After some difficult negotiations, they settled for 1 million dollars to have both Jessica and her husband
Nick Lachey in the video, except Nick might have not known about this deal.
Alex says: “NOW we knew it that Joe Simpson gets the percentage just form Jessica’s work but we never found out if NICK Lachey ever was presented it with the offer of a roll in the new revolutionary exercise video with SPEEDFIT .We felt sorry for what we did by accepting it, we were in such a rush to come out and if this ever gets out Nick should get half of her percentage because he was married to Jessica at that time.”
Joe Simpson’s ambition is endless and he saw an opportunity to make even more money with this exercise video if he could include Jessica’s trainer, Mike Alexander, in the picture. Joe insisted for Alex to teach Mike the SpeedFit Routine.
The secret reason behind Joe’s wish to have Mike in the video was again all about the money since he was also Mike’s manager and would get another good part of his paycheck.
“But for JOE after he had screwed his own son in law for 1/2 Million dollars was still not enough, the money from Jessica side was not enough for another Ferrari for him. He had one red, but he wanted another one black as well.” – Alex confessed.
When Alex refused to teach his innovative fitness routine that infuriated Joe and what happened next was Jessica did the video to get her money but she never approved its release.
Alex tells: “The only reason she still shoot the video was because it was the only way for them to get the $ 500000 which they were held in an escrow account and it could not be release unless she was going to shoot the 3 days for the video.”
So this was some kind of vendetta against Alex and his company SPEEDFIT LLC., which is now facing a serious financial crisis: “By the 29 of January the Emigrant Bank is taking the house away from us, all the assets we had just vanished, we cannot afford anymore a lawyer to litigate with them, they got me at the point where they want me to be, broke, and all I was trying to do is to make this country skinny and leave a decent life creating more good staff for this society.”
This matter is now being handled in court. Alex and his company have taken legal actions against Jessica and Joe Simpson. Just to make things clear, this video might have been leaked from one of the 3 production companies who had access to it and Alex is now being forced to talk about this subject.
About the rumors that Jessica might have been drunk during the video shoot was completely denied by Alex, who claims: “The video is state of the art, she was not drunk she was at the best of her life.”
Jessica WAS NOT drunk! Actually it has been suggested Jessica’s sudden weight gain was another of Joe’s schemes to win the lawsuit by claiming his daughter looks completely different now therefore the video can’t come out.
Let me remind you the video was shot back in 2004 and since then the SpeedFit Routine has been on hold… I think they should come up with a more reasonable excuse! This could be just another example how Joe is completely ruining his daughters’ careers.
