A source close to the situation tells RadarOnline.com exclusively that Bryce met Joe Simpson through a mutual friend, who is very close to Joe's daughters, Jessica and Ashlee Simpson.

And the close pal says they believe that Bryce has been taking Joe for a ride and is using him just to get famous.

“Joe Simpson being outed by the National Enquirer was no surprise to the gay community in Hollywood, Bryce has been bragging about hooking up with Joe for a while now,” a source close to Hill revealed.

“Bryce is close to TJ Espinoza, who in turn is good friends with both Jessica and Ashlee and worked for Britney Spears as a back-up dancer.

“TJ introduced Bryce to the Simpsons – and that’s how he met Joe.

“Bryce claims he’s been dating Joe for roughly a year and absolutely loves to boast about it because he loves being the center of attention. He’s also been quick to tell anyone that will listen that he’s using Joe to climb the showbiz ladder.

A source close to the Simpson family previously told RadarOnline.com, Jessica was completely blindsided by her father’s reported gay bombshell.

The pop star-turned-fashion-designer is struggling to come to terms with the revelation that dad Joe, a former youth minister and Baptist pastor, has come out of the closet, the source said.

But the insider insists that the 32-year-old Dukes of Hazzard star, who has a number of close gay friends in her life, has vowed to stand by her father despite his sexual preference.

“Jessica had absolutely no clue that her father was gay, not even the slightest inkling,” the source told RadarOnline.com. “She thinks she has very good gaydar, especially since a lot of her friends are gay, but she did not see this coming at all.

“It was a complete shock to the system, she feels terribly for her mom who was left reeling by the announcement and her sister Ashlee has also taken the news quite badly.

“Jessica’s been trying to process the information slowly, but she’s having difficulty dealing with it. She can’t understand why Joe stayed married to Tina for so long, and can't help wondering how much of their life was a lie,” the source continues.

“Despite that, she’s going to stand by him and support his decision. After all, he’s still her father and Joe’s always been there for Jessica whenever she’s needed him...And not just as a father, but as her manager too.”
