Jessica Simpsonis weighing in on claims that Subway isserving fake tuna in its sandwiches and wraps. Subway has said that there is “no truth” to these allegations.
The 40-year-old singer and fashion designer — whofamously confused the fish with poultrywhile eating Chicken of the Sea in 2003 — shared a lighthearted reaction to the controversy on Friday.
Responding to aTodaysegment about a lawsuit against the sandwich chain, which alleged that Subway’s tuna was “a mixture of various concoctions that do not constitute tuna,” Simpsonwrote in a tweet, “It’s OK @SUBWAY. It IS confusing.”
In a previously statement to PEOPLE, a spokesperson for Subway responded to the lawsuit, saying, “There simply is no truth to the allegations in the complaint that was filed in California.”

Lachey then clarified to Simpson that she was indeed eating tuna. “Chicken of the Sea is the brand,” he said. “You know, ‘cause a lot of people eat tuna, just like a lot of people eat chicken. Chicken of the Sea.”
“Oh….” Simpson replied. “Oh, I understand now. I read it wrong.”
