On Tuesday, Jessica Simpson shared a video on her Instagram revealing a new partnership with Flonase. In the footage, Jessica appeared to be very nervous and fidgety as she fumbled her way through her cue cards, prompting her followers to voice their concerns about what could be behind the pop star's odd behavior.
Jessica was promoting the allergy medication as part of a brand partnership.
In the since-expired story, she shared a few short clips of herself holding a bottle of Flonase while singing the brand's praises. She talked about everything from pollen to climate change in the videos before mentioning that her whole family relies on the medication.
Fans couldn't see past the weird way Jessica was acting in the video.
The Daily Mail was able to capture a bit of the video before it disappeared. From what we can tell, Jessica was really struggling with remembering what she was supposed to say and instead relied heavily on reading the cue cards that were just beyond the camera.
People called Jessica out for her "embarrassing" ad.
The fashion mogul's followers were not kind to her after she shared a still from the video on her Instagram grid.
"Lmao Flonase please hire a professional," one person wrote. "That was embarrassing to watch."
Another person gave Jessica a hard time for relying too heavily on the cue cards when it came time to deliver her lines. "Really that's the worst commercial by you," the person wrote. 'With [your] eyes all over the place. You couldn't memorize the cue cards for a simple [ad]."
Ouch. Jessica has some harsh critics following her on social media!
Some worried about the reason for Jessica's strange behavior.
Unfortunately, there were a few people who thought there was a nefarious reason for Jessica's bizarre behavior — that she was on something.
"I love you but take that ad off," one person wrote. "You looked benzo'd out girl."
Another person chimed in with similar thoughts. "OMG her commercial was awful. She slurs her words and she's so reading cue cards. OMG something is up with her," the commenter wrote. "It was so odd."
It seems like Flonase is getting its money's worth, though.
Based on how much attention Jessica's video is receiving, we're guessing Flonase is getting more eyes on its product than it bargained for.
Although we can agree that this wasn't Jessica's finest work, we'd like to point out that the mother of three has a reputation for not being the most serious person in the world. It's possible she was just having a little bit of fun with the ad.
