    For her first acting role in 15 years, Jessica Simpson played the character of Lee-Ann, who was pressured by her husband to get plastic surgery, only to be left with a botched face.

    Highlights
    • Jessica Simpson made her television comeback after spending 15 years away from a set.
    • She appeared in the Hulu show 'All’s Fair,' which stars Kim Kardashian, Naomi Watts, and Sarah Paulson.
    • Fans couldn't recognize her as she played the role of a scorned wife with a botched face, whose husband asked her to get plastic surgery.

    She seeks legal help from an all-female law firm headed by divorce attorneys Allura Grant (Kim Kardashian) and Liberty Ronson (Naomi Watts).

    “We’ve been married almost three years. I knew he had had one affair, probably more,” her character said on the show.

    “So when he had told me to get plastic surgery, I couldn’t say no,” the character went on to say. “I want revenge.”

    In a flashback of Lee-Ann’s love story with rock star Tommy, the pair have a whirlwind romance before he said she would have to undergo plastic surgery at the age of 40.

    The character said her decision to ultimately go under the knife was made when she felt her “marriage was at stake.”

    Jessica is seen with enlarged fake cheeks and an unmovable face in the episode that debuted on Tuesday, November 4.

    The I Wanna Love You Forever singer said the role was quite different from her usual “ditzy blonde” characters onscreen.

    She also spoke about how it was physically challenging to transform into Lee-Ann.

    “I did eight hours of prosthetics,” she told ET in May. “It was very intense, but props to the prosthetics team.”

    “They said I had the most patience of anyone they’ve ever worked with, so that’s a good compliment. But I really embody someone that I’m not, so I was definitely acting,” she added.

    During the show’s premiere in October, she said she wasn’t even sure if she could pull off the role.

    “I didn’t even know that I could do it,” she told ET during the premiere. “I haven’t acted in so long and normally I play the ditzy blonde, but this time I come in very vulnerable. It’s very emotional.”

    So, later in the episode, the scorned ex-wife catches Tommy on a date with a younger woman and douses him in sulphuric acid.

    “I didn’t know I could cry on cue, and somehow I did it. So, I impressed myself. And then I go, bat s*** crazy. You’re gonna see a brand new side of me,” the actress said.

    Jessica has been dealing with the end of her own marriage with husband Eric Johnson.

    The former couple announced in January this year that they were parting ways after 10 years of marriage.

    They share three children, daughters Maxwell “Maxi” Drew, 12, and Birdie Mae, 5, and son Ace Knute, 11.

    “Jessica has been working on new music for a while, but with everything going on now, she feels it’s the perfect time to go full force with it,” an insider told Page Six in January.

    The source noted that the Dukes of Hazzard star is always journaling, and some of her writings have already turned into songs about “heartbreak and resilience.”

    “It’s been a very creative, albeit heartbreaking, time for her,” the source added.

    Some netizens found her unrecognizable after her appearance in All’s Fair.

    “At first I didn’t recognize who it was,” one said.

    Another wrote, “Sure hope she didn’t get that done on real life…”

    “OMG!! That was her!! Wow!!! I could not even tell. Those were great!!” said another.

    “Good Lord, I don’t recognize her,” said another.

    The story of All’s Fair centers on a group of female divorce attorneys who storm off from a male-dominated firm to open their own practice.

    “The theme every week is we have a story of a woman going through an unfortunate situation, and we’re there to help her,” Kim Kardashian told People about the Hulu show last month.

    “I think that the moral of this story for us as women is even if you are having a hard time, even if you don’t believe in yourself at that moment, your lawyers are there, your girls are there to pick you up and help you believe in yourself again,” she added.

    “They gave her the Mar-a-Lago special for that role!” one commented online

    The women who were featured commenting in the article that Jessica Simpson looks almost the same in the movie as she does in real life are only saying that because they're "catty." Jessica does NOT look like that in real life. All I have to say to those women is: MEOW!
