Jessica Simpson Returns to Acting with a Dramatic New Role

On set, Simpson showcased a drastically altered appearance with exaggerated cheeks, full lips, and a distorted nose, achieved through extensive prosthetic makeup. She shared a behind-the-scenes Instagram video, humorously commenting,

In episode three, her character reveals the motivation behind her surgery. Lee-Anne explains that after discovering her husband's infidelity, she agreed to undergo plastic surgery at his insistence. She says,

Simpson’s Reflection on Her Acting Return

Returning to acting after many years, Simpson expressed surprise at her own performance quality. She told ETonline at the show's premiere,

“I didn’t even know that I could do it.”
