Simpson, 29, was asked by a TMZ.com video crew if she wanted an expensive gift back from former boyfriend Tony Romo.

Us Magazine reported that Simpson’s response was, “hey, I’m not an Indian giver.”

The phrase may be considered a racial stereotype, because it implies a misconception about honesty.

Simpson was leaving a Hollywood restaurant with her father when she was asked if she would ask Tony Romo to return a boat she bought him.

Readers on TMZ were shocked by the comment.

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Romo has sacked long-time girlfriend Jessica Simpson earlier this month. Romo broke the news to Simpson on the eve of her 29th birthday.

Simpson has struggled with her singing and acting career, but just signed to host a reality TV show.
