"I actually didn't know that they were in there," Johnson said when asked about the fruits from the hour tour during a virtual appearance on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" on Tuesday.
"I was giving the tour and went into the kitchen and... it was set dressing," the 31-year-old actress continued. I'm actually allergic to limes. I'm mildly allergic to limes and honeydew melon."
Johnson also said that eating honeydew melon causes her tongue to itch, and the same reaction happens when she consumes limes.
Johnson's house tour for AD went viral back in March 2020.

At one point in the video, she showed off her kitchen, which was decked out in her favorite color: green.
After saying that she enjoyed cooking and baking, she put her hand over a bowl of limes and said, "I love limes, I love them. They're great. I love them so much and I like to present them like this in my house."
When Fallon mentioned that Johnson "went with the flow" during the house tour and kept talking about the fruit, Johnson explained that she did that because "it was hard to just ignore them, so I just lied."
Fans on Twitter couldn't handle the news of Johnson lying and coming clean about her true thoughts on limes.
Another fan said that rewatching Johnson's house tour with this new information, it seemed like Johnson was being sarcastic while saying that she loved the fruit.
