Jessica Simpson surprised viewers with her dramatically altered appearance in her acting return on Hulu's All's Fair. At 45, she portrayed a character grappling with the aftermath of botched plastic surgery and a deceitful, unfaithful ex.
In the season premiere, Simpson's character reveals the pressure she faced in her marriage:
“We've been married almost three years. I knew he had had one affair – probably more. So when he had told me to get plastic surgery, I couldn't say no.”
She explains that she underwent surgery to save her marriage, but the procedures went horribly wrong, leaving her face looking unnatural and permanently swollen.
A flashback shows her falling in love with a musician at a rock concert. Their intense relationship led to the rocker convincing her she needed plastic surgery before turning 40. The surgery's failure caused lasting physical damage.
Despite the complications, Simpson's character won a legal battle over the botched surgery. Following this, she took revenge on her cheating ex after catching him with a younger woman by pouring sulfuric acid on him.
The series appears inspired by the turbulent relationship of Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee.
“My marriage was at stake,” Simpson's character states, explaining her decision to undergo surgery.
