Pete Wentz at the New York Premiere of 'I Am Legend' at Madison Square Garden. New York City, USA - 11.12.07

Simpson's manager father, Joe, was alleged to be displeased with his daughter's romance with the bassist and refused to have him spend time at his home over the holiday period.

Sources told America's Star magazine last week (ends07Dec07), "Joe was skeptical about the relationship from the start... There is a rumour that Pete tried to commit suicide, but with the news of his possible bisexuality, Joe blew his top."

But the rocker has denied any tension between him and Simpson Snr.

In an email to MTV.com, he says, "I think Joe gets a really bad rap in the press. He's always been nothing but nice to me.

"He even called me to let me know he expects me to show up for Xmas. So there's no truth to that (rumour)."
