Women who are in abusive relationships should "run so far away," Jessica Simpson advised at a concert in Phoenix Thursday.

The 28-year-old singer -- who has admitted she was in an abusive relationship -- offered those words before belting out the ballad, "Remember That," which features the lyrics: "It doesn't matter how he hurts you/With his hands or with his words/You don't deserve it."

"In love, we all go through a lot of things, and a lot of things unfortunately make us stay there [in the relationship]," she told the crowd at the Cricket Wireless Pavilion. "No matter what you go through in life, no matter what abuse you go through, take your heart and run so far away."

Simpson spoke more on relationship issues before singing "Still Don't Stop Me," which she said she wrote about "a guy that I couldn't get over."

"After I wrote that song, I was mad at myself for being so weak, and I got over that guy!" added the singer, who was wed to Nick Lachey and went on to date John Mayer .

Although Simpson has never named names, she admitted last year that she had been in an abusive relationship.

Asked by Elle if she had been physically abused, she said, "I don't want to talk about it, but I have definitely experienced abuse in a way that I would tell people to take their heart and run."

    Charlene if you think 6 is fat you need mental help seriously. Most models wear 6, and it shows that television and media has scrutinized with the way most you women think. I hate ultra thin %@!*#es. As do most men. I bet your not even pretty hoe. So shut the %@!*# up %@!*#, and go wax your moustache I bet you still dont look half as good as Jessica Simpsons cinnamon rolls. lolllllllll

    I don't get this girl.Last month she talked about loving the way she looks and now she is thinner.The girl is just confused.I think she is afraid of being out of the spotlight.I'd much rather hear her talk then sing.
