Meet the chinese woman who had surgery to make her Asian eye look bigger

JULIE CHEN is one of the hosts of the talk
show in America,and on wednesday it
got emotional, when she made a
shocking confession that she underwent
a surgery to make her ASian/chinese
eyes look bigger.
Speaking to her co-hosts on the
episode,The 43year old veteran anchor
disclosed that she underwent the
surgery almost 20years ago,she said ” My
secret dates back to –my hearts racing–
it dates back to when I was 25years old
and I was working as a local news
reporter in Dayton, Ohio, I asked my
news director over the holidays,”if
anchors want to take vacations,could I
fill in?” He said,’ you’ll never be on this
anchor desk, because you’re chinese”.
“He said, let’s face it, Julie, how relatable
are you to our community? How big of
an Asian community do we have in
Dayton?’ She recalled “On top of that
because of your Heritage,because of
your Asian eyes,sometimes I have
noticed on camera when you’re
interviewing someone, you look
disinterested,you look bored.”
Not long after Chen started looking for
another job,she ran into the same
problem, “Her Asian Eyes”.
Chen’s career was important to her so
she took an agent’s advice,and
considered her options.”My parents and
I had a long conversation,about if it
would be denying my heritage,” she said
my mom calls one auntie and my dad
calls one uncle………it spread to my
entire family. It divided the family.
Members of my family wanted to disown
me if I got it done.”
Wanting to someday sit behind an
anchor desk,she had the surgery
anyway. And afterwards “The ball did roll
for her career, she confessed, “And I
wondered, did I give in to the man?”
Regardless Julie has no regrets. “No
one’s more proud of being chinese than
I am,” she told her co-hosts, “I have to
live with the decisions I’ve made,….it got
me to where we are today, and I’m not
going to look back”.
Looks like she got a Nose job too!! Lol
Good for her coming out clean, I like her
