"I tried to get [Romo] to call her so I can explain to her that she doesn't really know me and that I can be funny," Owens tells the Dallas Morning News. "And that everything I say, the media will take it and run with it. It's not a big deal. I will try to rectify the situation between her and I."
With Simpson in the stands at Texas Stadium on Sunday, Romo played poorly and the Cowboys lost – leading some to suggest she might be a bad omen for the team, which is enjoying an otherwise-stellar season.
Following that game, Owens had told the Morning News that Simpson was "not a fan favorite" in Dallas and that "I think a lot of people feel like she's probably taking [Romo's] focus away."
He had also promised "a message for her when we make the playoffs." In anything, that message will likely now be a conciliatory one.
