Look guys! Jessica Simpson made it out of the house and she's not sobbing uncontrollably or stumbling around with a martini in one hand and cigarette in the other, dispensing bitter advice to unsuspecting young couples.

Nope. She's just leaving the gym, her first photographed public outing since "the incident." What a survivor.

Of course, it's silly to read too much into a photo, but really she looks fine. Probably because she is fine, just a little sad. However, the pic comes with this tragic caption:

"Jessica Simpson can't hide her emotions...Her eyes glazed over with sadness and her head turned down as she saw photographers approaching...her body language in these pictures reveal that Simpson is still struggling to cope with the aftermath of being dumped..."

And paparazzi photo agencies aren't the only ones throwing Jess a pity party, People is too...

A Simpson family friend says:

"The family feels bad for Jessica. They worry for her a lot. The family used to have such faith in [Jessica] and they worried about Ashlee. Now they are fully confident in Ashlee's choices and they worry most of their days about Jessica. It seems she just can't catch a break."

Oh and also that Jess "feels she's being judged by the world and opts to hide out at home."

Can't really blame her, can you? She is being judged by the world. At least, for now, everyone's being relatively nice and sympathetic. But wear the wrong jeans to the next chili cook-off and that will all change in a second. It's a hard life, but someone's gotta do it. Thank you for doing it, Jessica Simpson.
