Ashlee Simpson’s Camp Leaking Mariah Carey Songs?

Sources are saying that Ashlee Simpson’s camp is responsible for all the leaked Mariah Carey songs that are floating around on the internet right now. Ashlee’s album comes out a week after Mariah’s and supposedly they leaked the songs in hopes of creating less competition.
“Joe Simpson has every right to be nervous about Ashlee going up against Mariah. They are backed into a corner with this release date since they already changed it once. Their only option in fighting the Mariah machine would be to create a way to make the album’s release less newsworthy.”
Of course, Ashlee’s rep denied the charges saying,
“Mariah is a great artist, but the only album release Ashlee is focused on right now is her own.”
What do you think, did Joe Simpson really stoop that low or is this just the press creating false drama?
