It is one of the most famous early bird reality TV shows. And now Jessica Simpson is showing she's a good sport, posting the time she asked her then-husband Nick Lachey “is that the chicken I have or is that the fish?” in the 2003 premiere episode Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica while digging into a bowl of Chicken of the Sea.
The 43-year-old star proves she knows Chicken of the Sea is actually tuna in a new ad for the brand's “It's the One For Me” campaign in which she co-stars with 11-year-old eldest daughter Maxwell “Maxi” Drew .
The spot finds mother and daughter chilling on the couch, as the singer-turned-fashion designer's eldest questions why her mom is eating food from a packet of lemon garlic wild tuna. “It's called Chicken of the Sea, but it's not really chicken, it's tuna. So don't mess with it,” Simpson's advisor is her first born with wisdom born of two decades of hindsight — and countless memes.
“Who would ever mess with that?” Maxie asks incredulously. “No one?” Jessica replies before a long, awkward pause punctuated by a “like” reassurance that “she's not your mom.” Cue Maxi's maximum eye roll and Jessica's thousand-yard stare are clearly reminiscent of her not-so-best TV moment.
At the time, Lachey responded to his wife's response by sweetly explaining, “Chicken of the Sea is the brand. You know, because a lot of people eat tuna, just like a lot of people eat chicken. Chicken of the sea.”
“Oh, I see now. I read it wrong,” Jessica said at the time.
After divorcing Lachey in 2006, Simpson married husband Eric Johnson in 2014, and the couple also have son Ace Knute, 10, and daughter Birdie Mae, 4. In November, Simpson said she was working on her first new original album from 2008. Do you know.
