Jessica Simpson was mistaken for Britney Spears and her reaction is priceless

It’s not quite Britney b–ch!

Fashion mogul Jessica Simpson revealed that she was confused for Britney Spears and approached for an autograph during a recent outing.

According to her Instagram post, Simpson, 43, said a fan went up to her in a parking lot of her local mall while she was with her daughter Maxwell.

“The face when someone in the parking lot at the mall asks you for your autograph, but expects you to sign it Britney Spears,” her photo caption read, appearing shocked with her eldest.

Several of Simpson’s followers flocked to her comment section to react.

“Only a compliment,” commented one user.

“Lol a compliment bc you’re both beautiful,” gushed a second person.

According to an Instagram post, Simpson, 43, said she was approached by the fan in the parking lot of her local mall who was completely oblivious to the fact that she was not actually talking to Spears.

“23 years later and you’re still having these issues haha,” a third user wrote, adding: “Would have loved to have seen their face when you told them you’re not her.”

Some users, however, weren’t as amused about the incident.

“Is that shade,” questioned someone.

“I’m not sure how to take this post. The two of you have always been compared, so I’m thinking this was a diss to her,” a second critic noted.
