There's nothing worse than learning you've been pronouncing someone's name wrong for an extended about of time. While my name is easy to pronounce (Taylor, like Swift) I still sometimes get called Tyler — I can't imagine how people with less "traditional" names feel.
As it turns out, actress and supermom Alicia Silverstone is one of those people we've all been disrespecting, and I can't say sorry enough.
Once news outlets, fans, and social media start calling a celebrity the wrong name, it's all over from there. It's a train that can't be turned back.
It's pronounced TIE-GAN, not TEA-GAN.
"Gave up a long time ago," Chrissy revealed on Twitter back in 2018.
While appearing in a video for British Vogue, the songstress introduced herself as “Ree-anna."
Naturally, it's important to respect and properly pronounce people's names, it's not that hard.
More celebrities need to speak out!
Did you see what I did there? Clueless? Get it?
I understand if you want to leave this article now.
Which, if you ask me, are two very important things to be known for.
However, she's seemingly also known for having a name no one has been pronouncing properly.
In case you've missed it, Alicia has been having a lot of fun on TikTok.
Her ten-year-old son helped her say UGH, AS IF!
In a new video posted to TikTok (and her Instagram account) Alicia tells fans: "My name is Ali-see-yuh," she announced. "Ali-see-yuh. Not Alee-sha."
"Just an FYI… It’s Ali-SEE-yuh. It doesn't bother me though! But my sweet mama didn't like it... so for her... get it right! Ali-SEE-yuh!"
