Fall Out Boy Pete Wentz, who is in Tampa, Florida this weekend performing at the NFL Pepsi Smash Super Bowl Bash, is speaking out on behalf of his sister-in-law Jessica Simpson in the wake of media scrutiny over her heavier figure.

“I think the media puts too harsh of a spotlight on women in general and I think it’s a bummer,” Pete said in an interview with Extra on Thursday. “It’s bad for young women. I see it affecting young girls who come to our shows and that’s a bummer.”

“Real beauty is on the inside, man.”
