Jillian Hall is a professional wrestler who performs for World Wrestling Entertainment on its SmackDown brand.
Jillian's heel character is portrayed as a successful "fixer" for wrestlers receiving bad publicity, who has a scorned personality due to living her life with a growth sprout on her face. She is currently by the side of JBL.

According to the storyline, the implants leaked into her brain, causing her to turn psycho. Near the end of her developmental run, Melissa Coates became her bodyguard and they managed Chad and Tank Toland. She quietly debuted in WWE after leaving Melissa to manage them alone.

On the July 28, 2005 edition of SmackDown!, Jillian Hall made her official WWE debut as a heel working under the gimmick of a publicist for the heel stable, MNM.
She accompanied team member, Melina to the ring for her match with Torrie Wilson. During their match, whenever the camera would focus on Jillian standing at ringside, a strange "growth" was revealed on the left side of her face, causing the announcers Tazz and Michael Cole to speculate as to exactly what it is. The following week Jillian addressed the audience about the "growth" and referred to it as a "blemish."
On the August 18 edition of SmackDown!, Jillian helped Melina and Joey Mercury in a mixed tag team match against Booker T and his wife Sharmell by grabbing Sharmell's legs.
On the September 16 edition of SmackDown!, Jillian was approached backstage by John Bradshaw Layfield who said he needed some help. She accepted his offer and said they would be a great team. This seemingly meant the end of her partnership with MNM, allowing her to concentrate efforts on her new client JBL. She then entered a feud with Stacy Keibler. An online match for Velocity was aired on WWE.com, where Jillian won against Stacy, with the help of cheating. Jillian made her first appearance on RAW on November 14, participating in a special divas battle royal, dedicated to the late Eddie Guerrero.
Recently, she's been a target of the The Boogeyman, which resulted in her panties being filled with live worms on the January 6 Friday Night Smackdown. On the January 13 edition of SmackDown!, The Boogeyman, bit her trademark 'growth' off of her face. Currently, the status of her 'growth' is unknown, however she did show up on the January 20 SmackDown! with a bandage on her face where the blemish would be. In the Royal Rumble JBL faced the Boogeyman as a way of Jillian getting her revenge. JBL lost.
