Destiny's Child Star Michelle Williams Laments That Nobody Recognizes Her In Hilarious New Ad

Williams poked fun at being the least recognizable from the iconic girl group in a new commercial for Uber One—and fans are obsessed.

In a hilarious new commercial for Uber One, Destiny's Child star Michelle Williams laments that she is the most unrecognizable member of the iconic girl group, and fans are absolutely living for it.

In the Australian ad, Williams walks through the park looking at her phone and marveling at her Uber One savings.


As she sits down on a park bench, she says aloud:

“OK, OK, my Uber One membership savings don’t disappoint."

A woman sitting next to her on the bench gives her a side eye and Williams continues:

“You know what is disappointing? I was in one of the most iconic girl groups and no one recognizes me.”

Destiny's Child originally comprised Beyoncé, Kelly Rowland, LaToya Luckett and LaTavia Roberson. Williams and Farrah Franklin replaced Luckett and Roberson after the band's 1999 The Writing's on the Wall album release. Franklin left the group just a couple of months later, leaving Beyoncé, Rowland and Williams.

In the ad, Williams catches a glimmer of hope as a man in the background yells:

"Michelle!"

Williams, excited to be noticed, turns as the man continues, chasing after his dog:

"Michelle! You spit that out!”
“Naughty Michelle! Michelle, naughty!”

Williams then scoffs:

"Who calls their dog Michelle?”

The woman on the bench then turns to her and asks:

“Sorry, but are you Michelle Williams?”

Quite pleased, Williams acknowledges she is, in fact, Michelle Williams but deflates once again as the woman replies:

"Dropped your wallet."

The commercial ends with an exasperated Williams noting:

"At least my Uber One savings don’t disappoint."

You can watch below.

Viewers of the ad were thoroughly entertained, but they also claimed they would recognize Williams in a heartbeat.











On Monday, Williams took to Instagram, calling the ad and its subsequent reactions "hilarious."

"I get to be in on the jokes. Certain jokes y’all know I don’t care too much about, especially 24 years later. There are just certain things I don’t care about anymore."
“So what a cool way to be like, ‘The joke ain’t on me, it’s really on you.’ You know, I don’t care. So that was so much fun.”

Williams also announced in the post that she will be joining the pre-Broadway run of Death Becomes Her in Chicago.

What a resumé! Congrats, Michelle.

AOC Has Democrats Applauding With Her Viral Reaction To Zohran Mamdani's Historic Win

New York Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez had people nodding their heads after she opened up about why democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani's win in the New York City mayoral election on Tuesday is so important for the country at large as well as for the future of the Democratic Party.

Mamdani successfully took on the establishment to become the first South Asian, first Muslim, and first millennial mayor-elect, running a campaign that focused predominantly on the city's affordability crisis and that successfully batted away racist and Islamophobic backlash from right-wingers who claimed his policies would "destroy" the city.
