Ashlee Simpson Finally Opened Up About Her 2004 ‘SNL’ Lip-Sync Fail, And It’s About Time
No, for real. And just when people finally stopped talking about, Ashlee spoke out about it, and here we are again.
Hello, friends, and welcome to my time machine.
Today, we’re going back to 2004, where pop culture was a completely different ballgame.
You might remember this as the year when Britney Spears was married for a whopping 55 hours before getting an annulment.
It was the year Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin had a child together — and proceeded to name that child Apple.
It also happened to be the year that Ashlee Simpson was relevant, and made a bit of a fool of herself while making an appearance on Saturday Night Live.
At the time, Ashlee had just released her album, “Autobiography,” which every preteen and teenager in the country spent their hard-earned babysitting money on.
Or if you were a rebel like me, you downloaded it from Limewire — along with a handful of viruses your computer hated you for.
Anyway, Ashlee was on SNL to promote said album.
She did a random jig and after the fact, and tried to explain that her band had started playing the wrong song.
People were understandably upset about the whole ordeal, and she received a lot of criticism over it, but they eventually moved onto bigger and better scandals.
Flash forward to today, 2018, where Ashlee is opening up about the fail while promoting her upcoming reality television show, Ashlee+Evan.
The purpose of the show is to share who she is today since it’s been a long time since she’s been in the public eye. 
As for the SNL “incident,” well, it’s not a difficult topic for her to talk about these days, especially because it was such a long time ago. 
“It’s something that happened to me and things in life happen to you and they make you stronger and they make you a better performer, a better person,” she explained.
