Jessica Simpson in a “tailspin”

One of Jessica Simpson’s friends tells PEOPLE that we should be keeping Jessica from sharp objects before she gets stabby stabby on herself. They say losing her beloved Maltipoo Daisy to a coyote might “put her into a tailspin. It will put her into the worst place ever.” And that “Whenever things went wrong for Jessica, she reached for Daisy,” another source, a friend, says. “Daisy was her security blanket. When people let her down, she always had Daisy.”

However, other people disagree, “She’s really upset, but she’s not spiraling out of control by any means,” this source says. “She’ll get through this but it is like losing a family member. She’s focusing on work and spending time with her family and friends.”

Jessica used to call home to talk to Daisy whenever she was out. The friend adds that if Daisy didn’t like you, you were fired. Which is absurd. Taking advice from a dog. Absolutely ridiculous. Why can’t Jessica just take advice from the voices in her head like normal people. Right now, mine is telling me to burn things.

Here’s Jessica in Encino not smiling.
