There’s more poop hitting the fan in the Ashlee Simpson Pete Wentz divorce saga. Although the various reports are coming from a variety of tabloids, there could very well be quite a bit of truth woven in. Tabloids have, after all, gotten a few stories right over the years.
Depending on who you believe, the real reason Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz are getting divorced is either because he’s a pill popper or because they don’t have sex anymore. Or it could be both. But it could be something else.
Enquirer: Pete is hooked on pills and booze, has “wandering eye”
Fed up with the rocker’s abuse of prescription drugs, his wandering eye and because she feared for the safety of the couple’s 2 year-old son, the singer-actress filed for divorce on Feb. 9 after less than three years of marriage.
Although Ashlee had been pressuring Pete to go to rehab for a while – and had even threatened to leave him – insiders say the troubled musician didn’t take her demands seriously until it was too late.
“Ashlee realized that Pete had become a functioning addict and that he wasn’t making any effort to quit,” revealed an insider.
He’d been taking the sleeping pill Ambien, the sedative Xanax and painkiller Oxycontin, said the source, and Ashlee had concerns about Pete’s behavior around their son Bronx…
“When Pete drinks and takes pills, he goes wild. Ashlee doesn’t trust him to be faithful.”
In Touch: They haven’t had sex since summer, Ashlee gave up, they both partied
“The passion between them had died,” [Ashlee's] friend says. “They haven’t been intimate since last summer, and were sleeping in separate beds.”
Star: It was complicated, they were both attracted to other people
[A] source tells Star that whispers about the nature of Pete’s relationship with Bebe Rexha, the sexy new singer for Black Cards, “definitely helped push Ashlee over the edge. And with Pete and Bebe about to go on tour together, I think it was eating away Ashlee to the point of no return.”
Ashlee… found [a shoulder to lean on] in her ex-boyfriend Ray Brady, former guitarist for her band. On Jan. 26… Ashlee posted a new photo to her Twitter account showing her and Ray having a cozy dinner together.

Want to know my theory? Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz were far too young to get married in the first place. Period.
