MAFS star Jessika Power defends ‘big’ lips in glam photo
Jessika Power has come under fire after fans accused her of enhancing her lips again but the former MAFS star has hit back.
Married At First Sight star Jessika Power has copped backlash in the past over her image – but this time she’s fired back.
The 28-year-old shared a series of glamorous snaps to her Instagram page hinting a photo shoot was “coming soon”.
In the picture, Jessika wore a low-cut white boob tube which flaunted her cleavage. She paired it with a full coverage foundation, smokey eyes with eyelash extensions, bronzer and a soft pink gloss.
However, fans were more interested in her plump lips.
“Holy sh*t I think your lips are fair dinkum going to explode!” one follower wrote.
“You are pretty as. But your lips are too big now,” another said.
“You are a stunner Jess, but I think your current pout detracts from your gorgeous eyes,” a third person commented.

The harsh criticism continued with some people saying “quack quack” implying her lips resembled duck’s beak.
Jessika, who previously admitted to spending more than $60,000 on cosmetic procedures since appearing on MAFS, hit back, after commenting to most of the negative feedback.
“Far out! No way? You think so? Hmmmmm I better get that looked at hey,” she sheepishly responded to a follower’s “lip explosion” comment.
Other fans came to her defence describing her look as “amazing” and “hot”, while adding that they don’t understand peoples’ fascination with her lips.
“Hahahaha I know!” Jessika said, agreeing with them.
“I was thinking the same thing. It makes zero sense, people don’t like my lips and I’ve heard it for about 2 years now and have I changed them or given a crap about their opinion? No, so it confuses me why they keep wasting their goddamn time commenting lol.”
She told fans she hasn’t touched them in over a year and they look bigger in size from using lipliner and gloss, adding it does “wonders”.
In 2019, she got her lip fillers dissolved, sharing a video on Instagram at a cosmetic clinic in Victoria where she was beaming before saying: “Okay guys I’m here just about to have my lips dissolved.”
“I’m really excited but also really scared because my lips are going to go.”
The procedure involved a Hyaluronidase injection, which shrinks the lips over a few days.
“Throughout MAFS I have been bullied, trolled and just put down about my teeth post veneers,” Jessika explained in a video post at the time. “And it was really horrible actually.
“They’re always picking on something, but I think when people get veneers or get something done to their face it’s because they’re unhappy with how they felt in the first place about it.
“So, good on you guys for pointing that out,” she said laughing.
The reality star turned influencer, has had her lips injected and dissolved, cheeks filled, Botox injected in her jaw, veneers and Botox in her forehead at a total cost of around $60,400, according to The Daily Telegraph.
“I used to do beauty editorial photo shoots, and photographers always said one lip was smaller. I did not want to conform to the whole modelling thing but I started noticing it more, the more it was brought up,” Jessika said.
But after having her lips filled the first time, she didn’t get the desired result.
“I had it done and they completely botched the procedure. Being young I thought it would get fixed if I had more filler in it,” she explained.
This is why the star then had her lips “dissolved”, a procedure which reportedly costs $1100.
Jessika was also recently slammed on social media for throwing her support behind the Cookie Diet, an unusual weight-loss method health professionals have labelled unsustainable that was first popularised in the US a decade ago.
She promoted the diet in an Instagram post in February, writing that the cookies contain a “special blend of proteins (which) turn it into an appetite suppressant”.
Again, it didn’t take long for the MAFS star to be slammed from spruiking the diet.
“This is all bulls**t,” one person commented on her post, while another added: “You should not be promoting fad diets like this!!”
