Ashlee Simpson said she had to ‘tune out’ the negativity after THAT lip-sync fiasco on SNL – claims clip of second time where she actually sang live has gone MISSING

Ashlee Simpson opened up about her 2004 appearance on Saturday Night Live when her song Pieces of Me received radio airplay.

The Ashlee Simpson Show alum, 39, sat down to make her podcast debut Broad ideas starring Rachel Bilson, 42, and her co-host Olivia Allen.

45 minutes into the show, Ashlee — who was sitting front row at Christian Siriano’s show during New York Fashion Week — told the story of how she walked through rehearsal the day before the live broadcast with no problem, but then When she woke up the next day, she had no voice at all.

“One of the things I wanted to say, which I’ve never talked about or said this before, but I learned as a woman, when you say no or as an artist or human being or whatever, that day I said, ‘I don’t go I don’t care. I can not talk.”

She said she was writing it down for the label manager and they forced her to perform anyway, causing Ashlee to say, “My band has never practiced this before, this isn’t going to go well.”

That performance turned into an embarrassing moment for the beautiful redhead as she was roundly mocked online for her performance.

Ashlee saw a doctor that day and revealed: ‘I had two lumps hitting each other’ on her vocal cords causing her to lose her voice.

But Ashlee learned from that point on to stand up for herself and not take no for an answer in a situation like the SNL issue was, calling it humiliating and something she learned and grew from.

The Melrose Place star had her friends Stephanie and Lauren join her on the podcast and revealed that they were in New York City with her at the time of her SNL appearance and that all three stayed in the same hotel room.

“As her friends, we couldn’t understand the impact that day would have on her.”

Her friends mentioned that they went to a deli the next day and even though the Iraq war was the biggest news story of the day, they found many news programs mocking and mocking Ashlee’s lip sync performance.

“I have to find the strength at a young age to say that I am good at this and that I will keep fighting,” Ashlee said in reflection before ending the sentence with a thoughtful look on her face as she relived the memories twenty years later polite.

Ashlee also shared the story of her second appearance on SNL: “I went back to SNL with my second album and I can’t find it anywhere. I have searched and searched for that performance.’

“I was really nervous when I was there and I just can’t find it anywhere,” she explained.

45 minutes into the show, she told the story of how she got through rehearsal the day before the live broadcast without any problems, but when she woke up the next day, she had no voice at all.

“Having to find the strength at a young age to say that I’m good at this and that I’m going to keep fighting,” Ashlee said in reflection before ending the sentence with a thoughtful look on her face as she relived the memories twenty years later .

But ultimately, the first SNL debacle and her second nail-biting appearance on the show taught her some valuable lessons.

“It’s taught me humility, it’s taught me so much about myself and my own personal power.

‘I think the most important thing is that you believe in yourself. It taught me at a young age how to get up and go again.’

The hosts and Ashlee’s friends want to start a petition to get Ashlee back on Saturday Night Live.
