Jessica Simpson Mocks Her Iconic ‘Chicken of the Sea’ Blunder With Daughter 20 Years Later

Jessica Simpson is poking fun at one of her epic fails over 20 years later — and bringing her daughter into the mix.

In an ad for Chicken of the Sea, the multi-hyphenate is eating a lemon garlic-flavored pack of the seafood brand with a fork. She's asked by her daughter Maxwell, 11, "Mom, why are you eating that packet?"

"It's called Chicken of the Sea," Simpson explained before she clarified, "But it's not really chicken. It's tuna. So don't get confused by it."

Maxwell quipped, "Who would ever get confused by it?" as Simpson responded, "No one?"

The two had a brief stare down before Simpson hilariously told a confused Maxwell, "Not your mom."

Simpson did, in fact, get confused by it over 20 years ago. On her and her then-husband Nick Lachey's reality show, she was eating the product out of the bowl when she famously asked, "Is this chicken or is this fish?"

"I know it's tuna, but it says Chicken by the Sea. Is that stupid?"

Lachey simply stared at her and shook his head before he turned away.

He later explained, "Chicken of the Sea is the brand."

This isn't the first time Simpson has embraced her faux pas. In 2017, she responded to a tweet by Whole Foods that read the healthy food chain had "discovered its chicken salad actually had tuna."

"It happens to the best of us @WholeFoods," Simpson replied.
