"Don't sue me": When Josie Totah asked Kelly Clarkson not to sue her for stealing her parking spot

Josie Totah once told Kelly Clarkson, "Don't sue me," recalling the time when she stole the multi-Grammy-winning singer and talk show host's dedicated parking space in a studio in Los Angeles. The Saved By The Bell star joined Lily Collins for the 72nd episode of the third season of The Kelly Clarkson Show on January 5, 2022.

While Totah and Collins were on the show to talk about the importance of creating authentic stories, the conversation slipped into Totah allegedly sliding into Clarkson's parking space without the singer-songwriter knowing. Kelly Clarkson addressed Totah, saying:

"I heard that you know where my parking spot is, by the way."

Josie Totah then admitted to stealing Kelly Clarkson's parking spot, but in her defense, the Grammy winner was not in LA at the time. Admitting to not wanting to air out what she did, Totah said:

"I didn't wanna talk about this because I didn't know if I am subjected to legal trouble."

However, she pointed out that she stalked Clarkson on social media to confirm that she was still in New York filming an interview with Seth Meyers so she wouldn't get in trouble for sliding into her LA studio parking spot. She said:

"So, like, when you weren't here, I just kinda like slid in. And I believe, no, this is not a joke. For an entire episode, I think I parked in your parking spot."

Kelly Clarkson took everything in stride and laughed throughout Josie Totah's recollection of the event. She later told the actress that she was welcome to use the parking spot if she wasn't there, to which Totah replied:

"Thank you so much. Don't sue me."
