Jessica Simpson’s father Joe and mother Tina are giving her a “$250M Nightmare,” claims the National Enquirer.

What’s supposedly going on?

Well, the tabloid says Joe is “now targeting Jessica’s billion-dollar fortune in his increasingly bitter divorce from the pregnant beauty’s mom.”

According to an Enquirer source, “Joe believes that he’s entitled to an even split of Tina’s portion of Jessica’s business, which he figures to be about $250 million. And he’s going to fight to the bitter end to get it.”

The magazine claims Tina “tried to settle with Joe by offering him $100 million,” but he is allegedly “holding out for more.”

“Joe doesn’t think he has anything to lose by playing down and dirty,” explains the Enquirer source.

Playing “down and dirty” is well-worn territory for the publication, which has repeatedly run reckless stories about Jessica Simpson and her family, including a bogus “miscarriage scare” story just last month.

The Enquirer also falsely alleged that Simpson fired her dad back in December.

But as much as the outlet would love to make the Simpson divorce sound more dramatic, this “$250 million nightmare” story is just sensationalized nonsense.

A source close to the family tells us that everyone is still on amicable terms, and that there’s no truth to the Enquirer report.

Jessica Simpson & Eric Johnson Fighting About Her Dad Joe?

“Jessica Simpson and her fiance Eric Johnson spent much of their recent Hawaiian getaway fighting over her treatment of her father Joe,” claims RadarOnline, which has spent much of its time waging a misguided campaign against Simpson and her family.

According to the webloid, the singer-turned-fashion designer “wants nothing to do with Joe” following his split from her mom Tina.

But Johnson supposedly thinks Joe is “being treated unfairly by his family,” says the site, “causing considerable friction between him and Jessica.”

“Jessica and Eric were constantly arguing about Joe during their stay in Hawaii,” a so-called “source” tells RadarOnline.

The outlet’s tipster continues, “It’s something they can’t see eye-to-eye on, and it really spoiled the trip for a lot of family members who felt uncomfortable in their presence.”

Uh-huh.

Oh, where to begin.

First of all, as we’ve pointed out, RadarOnline has been publishing inaccurate stories about the Simpsons for weeks, trying to stir up controversy in place of solid journalism.

We also find it interesting that RadarOnline falsely reported that Simpson and Johnson were planning a secret wedding in Hawaii over the holidays, a prediction that turned out to be 100 percent wrong.

That bogus speculation is conveniently not mentioned in the new story about the vacation.

Meanwhile, RadarOnline described Simpson and her father as having a “happy reunion” at CaCee Cobb’s December wedding to Donald Faison — only to flip-flop on that reporting with this latest piece.

Plus, Joe was with his daughter and Johnson in Hawaii — no fighting, and no estrangement.

In other words, Friday’s report is just another inaccurate RadarOnline story that wrongly portrays Simpson’s relationship with both her father and her fiancé.

It’s simply not true.

A source close to the family tells Gossip Cop they “all got along GREAT on the trip,” telling us the report is totally wrong.
