Julie Chen shocked viewers tuning in to “The Talk” when she revealed that she elected to have cosmetic surgery on her eyes. When she was a young and aspiring anchorwoman in Dayton, Ohio, an executive producer told Chen that her slanted eyes would hold her back. Chen revealed that she agonized over the decision with her family, but some relatives turned their back on her after she went through with the surgery. “We had a long conversation about if it would be denying my heritage,” she explained. “You know, my mom calls one auntie, my father calls an uncle… it spread to my entire family. It divided the family. Members of my family wanted to disown me if I got it done.”
