Jessica Simpson Makes Acting Comeback
Jessica Simpson returned to acting after 15 years, appearing on the set of Hulu’s new legal drama All’s Fair. The singer and fashion designer portrays Lee-Anne, a woman who seeks the help of Kim Kardashian’s character, Allura Grant, after a disastrous plastic surgery.
Transformation for the Role
Simpson revealed her dramatic on-screen transformation in an Instagram video, showing prosthetics that exaggerated her cheeks, lips, and nose. She captioned the post with a note of humor and gratitude.
“Introducing this ultimate badass with a heart of gold. It took an incredible village (and six hours in prosthetics!) to bring her to life for @hulu’s #AllsFair and wow… what a ride.”
Character Motivation
In the show’s third episode, Lee-Anne admits she chose the surgery after discovering her husband’s infidelity.
“We’ve been married almost three years. I knew he had had one affair — probably more,” she says. “So when he had told me to get plastic surgery, I couldn’t say no.”
Simpson on Her Return
Reflecting on her comeback, Simpson said she was pleasantly surprised by her own performance.
“I didn’t even know that I could do it,” Simpson told ETonline at the show’s premiere.
