Jessica Simpson Has Some Thoughts About Subway's Tuna Reveal

When news of the lawsuit against Subway broke, Jessica Simpson jumped on Twitter to comment. She humorously wrote, "It's OK @SUBWAY. It IS confusing." This is a hilarious throwback to her own tuna-gate on her 2003 reality show Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica, where she expressed confusion over tuna brand Chicken of the Sea's name (via People). Fans were feeling nostalgic in her mentions, with one person tweeting, "This wins the internet for today".

This isn't the first time she's poked fun at herself for the now iconic moment. In 2016, Simpson tweeted a meme of a chicken lost at sea with the line: "Maybe Jessica was on to something?" at the top. The tuna brand retweeted the photo, and added "Has it really been 13 years? We still think about it, too! We've missed you, @JessicaSimpson!"

Simpson kept the joke running a year later when she posted an Instagram picture of a headline about grocery chain Whole Foods mixing up its chicken salad for tuna, as reported by Well+Good. She captioned the photo "It happens to the best of us @WholeFoods." We love that she isn't afraid to poke fun at herself. It's all in good fun.
