Sorry, your argument is flawed. If anything, her family's heritage is the reason to run the opposite way. Her grandfather married multiple times. He caused pain to his first wife who saw 'wife number 2, wife number 3, etc come through the door'. If anything, she would and should have the fire and courage to walk away and say 'I deserve better than this'. I don't participate in polygamy'. It's one thing if the husband cheats and you don't know. It's another if he cheats and you find out - AND DECIDE TO STAY. Let's see if Julie leaves (after the dust settles).
Julie Chen and Les Moonves had an open affair during his marriage to his wife of 27 years. Once he divorced his former wife who he has 3 children with, he married Julie Chen 2 weeks later.
Umm..actually that would cause her to be more tolerate of the behavior because she saw that her grandmother tolerated it. If her grandmother had ran away and got divorced and taught her this behavior is sexist and wrong then yes I could see her saying this is not ok. But no her grandmother stayed in the situation and tolerated it which teaches women to tolerate men's abuse, stand by him and suffer in silence.
I know, right? She had an affair with Moonves while he was married. He divorced his then wife of 24 years, married Julie within 2 months of the divorce. She has since gone up in the ranks at CBS, having shows, despite being so dull and boring in front of the camera. She also allegedly reminds those who don't bow down to her with that "do you know who I'm married to?" line.
Julie Chen is one classy and beautiful lady. It's brave of her to share her family history of which she had no control. She should have never felt that she needed to hide this part of her life. I hope she returns to The Talk.
Julie has just so many secrets. Descended from a narcissist of that level is something else, she has sure pushed forward from her roots. It's remarkable in a one child country, it's like her grandfather inspired the law.
does it? I'm not trying to be funny but does it? her grandfather caused her family so much pain...if anything, wouldn't she do the opposite by leaving her husband instead of staying with him? she may still love her husband or even more, she's got to honor a pre-nuptial agreement. Do you think the wealthy stay wealthy by leaving one another when the marriage is in jeopardy because of infidelity allegations? Maybe she wants to leave and she has to wait 'until the dust settles'.
So he married Julie because she wasnt jealous of his affairs? Interesting. The fact that her grandfather was a polygamist and had mistresses explains a lot in her accepting this. It's still wrong but it explains a lot.
I have mixed feelings that I am trying to process...why does SHE feel so much pain? Julie was not a polygamist. Was it the fact that he wasn't present in the household or neglected Julie's branch of the. Was it the fact that there were so many kids?Not sure how to process this or why it was so important for her to tell. Clearly, the grandfather had an issue. He grew up dirt poor and lacked responsibility...what was in him that had the desire to create so many kids?
This was a normal part of their culture. What's there to b ashamed or surprised about. People there's no drama here. It happen according to their normal lifestyle. No laws broken - moving right along!
Wow, wow that's quite a family, but you should not keep it a secret, share it. That's how they lived back then, it's not you're story to be ashamed of. It's interesting, but my heart breaks for you're grandmother. Julie thank you for sharing. I got my eyes done, my eyes were almost closed the older I got, everyone thought I was chinese, I was American/ hispanic/german. I'm glad I got it done, and you are absolutely beautiful.
Back in the days this was actually very common in Asian culture as well as other continents too people. Besides it unfortunately still is very common in many parts of the world. So stop saying that this is a piece of the puzzle. Somehow we unfortunately all have great great relatives like that .
My great-grandfather had a two wives (mistress, concubine) I got to know her when I was very young. And I would called her grandma. To me, it was no big deal.
🤔 What difference does it make? An American Man who is married with 5 children lives in Chicago and had a Mistress in Atlanta with 3 children, and another Mistress in California with 2 children and in Houston Texas another Mistress with 2 children. What do you call that? the people saying ohh on the stage, they are acting as if they don't know what is going on in America, HELLO
I agreed to marry a Muslim and be a 2nd wife but he dumped me for her. Before you agree to it, remember you won't get as much time with the guy, plus the jealousy factor. Not the best decision.
I assume this was legal where this man lived and accepted in his society. Still It is shocking news by the standards in most places and modern times. Julie has no reason to be ashamed, the situation was out of her control and the control of the nine wives.
It all makes sense, generation to generation accepting and complicit. Rags to riches 🤔 she’s not leaving that man with all that money. He’s also very smart his brother is her attorney. A tangled web has been weaved. She’s in a very sad place. God knows what the prenup says.
SHELL A I agree Julie write a book fasinating !!! I think your gorgeous n make a great contributions To your work u have your own children love n best wishes ❤ Aug 17th
Why the hell is this kind of thing a 'secret'? This haunts you, a person you didn't even meet!? Why would you be ashamed of what your ancestors did!? Did you do it? I mean, wtf!? Who cares? Both my parents were violently abusive and I grew up in a cult! That's no fucking secret, it's the truth. I'm not ashamed of it, because at no point did I do anything remotely shameful. Why are you so ashamed of your Grandfather's life? It's not your life!
Julie Chen-Moonves....smh pple r so quick 2 tell extended family secrets but hides d stories closer 2 home tht will in fact tear them up inside....u need 2 feel compelled 2 talk abt ur husband n his secret life 2.....so quick 2 throw blood relatives under 2 bus 2 stay on top but d monsters we r sleeping nxt 2 everynite n give our heart's 2 we put their dirty secrets in a box n throw away d key
Most marriages in the bible were men with more than one marriage covenant. IT MIGHT BE SIMPLY BECAUSE GOD NEVER OUTLAWED IT. A marriage covenant is between God man and woman. But how many marriages covenants a man could have was never limited by God in any law or commandment. Across the world for thousands of years men had multiple women that they dealt with. Some men were transparent that they held a commitment to multiple wives other men abandoned women after sex. This might be how her family turned out to be this way. According to the most influential book on life in the world, the bible, a king of Isreal couldn't multiply wives and a Bishop or leader of the church was to have 1 wife. Those positions came with great responsibility over all of Isreal. But the common man or a wealthy man had no commands from God to limit his # of marriage covenants to only 1. This left the choice up to men on how many marriages they could handle.
and Julie don't need im if he was guilty!!!!!!!!!!!!! you are all jalous of her if shannon was in place of Julie she would be so nasty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fawn Jones sister see your brothers 60/100 cant talk properly english and 70/100 this France is the capital of Paris LOL so please dont judge my English I can speak 4 languages but sorry my writing is terrible no one is perfect but black american s always make fun of my accent and to me it is racism

Fawn Jones sorry if I was rude but it hurt to be put down all the time because I have a french accent and my writing is not the best but it is I do my best and I do help lot of persons all my life sorry again
Now we see why Chen has been so tolerant of her husband's infidelity.
She had an affair with him while he was married and divorced his first wife for her. She knows all about infidelity, being a full participant and all
Sorry, your argument is flawed. If anything, her family's heritage is the reason to run the opposite way. Her grandfather married multiple times. He caused pain to his first wife who saw 'wife number 2, wife number 3, etc come through the door'.

Namaste Peace,you know when I typed in his name it says that he divorce his first wife in 2004. And he married Julie Chen in 2004 hmmmm😲
Julie Chen and Les Moonves had an open affair during his marriage to his wife of 27 years. Once he divorced his former wife who he has 3 children with, he married Julie Chen 2 weeks later.

Why is she being so sanctimonious? She was a homewrecker.
coffycup75 I'm lazy to Google that info. Can u pls elaborate 😁 thx
coffycup75 : exactly

He fucked up!! HE should have known better.
excuse me CAN'T U SEE HOW EMBARASSED SHE IS TO TALK ABOUT THIS IT IS WRITTEN ALL OVER HER FACE
This is why her husband was the perfect man for her because she's already grown to accept this
Wow,you have a point that may be true and if so how sad.
Damn Julie needs to write a book
I agree
Why? I won't buy it.

“And my husband is somehow just as bad maybe worse”
the pain in her voice is not generations old is it?
Julie Chen is one classy and beautiful lady. It's brave of her to share her family history of which she had no control. She should have never felt that she needed to hide this part of her life. I hope she returns to The Talk.
Julie has just so many secrets. Descended from a narcissist of that level is something else, she has sure pushed forward from her roots. It's remarkable in a one child country, it's like her grandfather inspired the law.
THIS EXPLAINS EVERYTHING, Mrs Moonves!

Not fair!
So he married Julie because she wasnt jealous of his affairs?
Interesting. The fact that her grandfather was a polygamist and had mistresses explains a lot in her accepting this. It's still wrong but it explains a lot.
Having multiple wives in Asian culture is nothing new....its practically the norm in those days. Tell us something we don't know already
about me I add lots Asians men in my life but no kids LOL
it is very contradictory that she is willing to speak out about her grandfather, but unwilling to speak out about her husband...
Very brave to tell that story.
I have mixed feelings that I am trying to process...why does SHE feel so much pain? Julie was not a polygamist. Was it the fact that he wasn't present in the household or neglected Julie's branch of the. Was it the fact that there were so many kids?Not sure how to process this or why it was so important for her to tell. Clearly, the grandfather had an issue.

Bull hocky
Brave vs money. Money wins every time
This was a normal part of their culture. What's there to b ashamed or surprised about. People there's no drama here. It happen according to their normal lifestyle. No laws broken - moving right along!
This explains her attraction to Les.
Decisions can affect generations. Hear the pain in her voice although she never knew most of these people
Wow, wow that's quite a family, but you should not keep it a secret, share it. That's how they lived back then, it's not you're story to be ashamed of. It's interesting, but my heart breaks for you're grandmother. Julie thank you for sharing.

A very interesting story. :o

well, there's a piece to the puzzle.
Julie Chen needs to take her son and run to the Dr. Plus take your money and run. You lost your career
Grandfather polygamist. Husband an adulterer.
Apparently, she was an adulterer with him. Nobody gets a pass ...
Shock and awe!!
Mrs Moonves ...... repeating family’s mistakes is very painful . I feel sorry for her, I understand being by your man, even if he is guilty.
This is very typical and acceptable in many Asian culture in Asia still.
I love the gasps lol not that big of a deal lol
My great-grandfather had a two wives (mistress, concubine) I got to know her when I was very young. And I would called her grandma. To me, it was no big deal.
i like her voice
For a sec I thought polygamist meant he liked to play with poltergeist
This is sad and scary.
Big pimpin I see you Pops.
Powerful

I love Sharon’s face a 2:24-2:27
This is some sick mess right here!
Can someone explain to me what that is
Yep, I watched this episode sad and surprising she even told this. There are worsier things in family this in comparison is not as horrible.
Many had concubines
lol how she said it she made it seem like it was rare like it's not common
anonymou s people talk about how Muslims, andAfricans are. Russian and East Europe have the poorest, sexist, abusive culture.
Don't forget about latin America
This wasn’t your only secret tho let’s be honest
After her husband found this out he knew it didn't matter if he cheated.🤷🏽 It's like she told them her future and didn't even know it.🤦🏽
Let people tell their own story!
Explains HER STORY!!!!!
I assume this was legal where this man lived and accepted in his society. Still It is shocking news by the standards in most places and modern times. Julie has no reason to be ashamed, the situation was out of her control and the control of the nine wives.
My grandmother was a polygamist too
And he is not a member of the FLDS....😳 Very similar though. The wives get younger and younger.
And, your point is...???
It all makes sense, generation to generation accepting and complicit. Rags to riches 🤔 she’s not leaving that man with all that money. He’s also very smart his brother is her attorney. A tangled web has been weaved. She’s in a very sad place. God knows what the prenup says.
No excuses. She knew what was happening and did nothing because it benefited her. Trash is what she it.
How you say auto biography.. Julie
Her audio Memoir came out this week.
@@carrieheffernan1685 should be quite interesting
Isn’t it a dream to have a big happy family
That happens all the. Time
Thats nothing to one Actor with 72 children with different women
And I can't get laid!!!!!
Some modern guys are polygamists too. The culture is still alive 😂
My grandpa has 11 alive kids with one woman which was his only wife and my other grandparents have 10 alive kids but they only had one partner
Shocking
yes, shocking...but I'm not sure why she's so upset...embarrassment? did the grandfather neglect his families?
THE NINJACAT Maybe he did neglect them a little bit.

This is not a big deal to me. I’m African, this was typical in African culture in previous generations. Get over it.
It's still wromg
Why the hell is this kind of thing a 'secret'? This haunts you, a person you didn't even meet!? Why would you be ashamed of what your ancestors did!? Did you do it? I mean, wtf!? Who cares?

Nothing wrong with it to each his own
Secret? I don't care.
Sooo....she is a part of a polygamist family...
Why is this bad tho? There’s nothing wrong with being a Polygamist
Julie is hot! No matter what.
Sounds like a legend to me

wow two secrets--polygamy and eye surgery!!!! LOL
how is this legal?
Happened long time ago and Chinese culture was different back then
I doubt it was legal but in some countries, men do what they want to do...
it was illegal after communist took china, but you couldn't charge someone for doing that before the law comes out.
so's her hubby LOL
That’s our culture. Don’t u ever judge our culture. #culture appropriation
she's so dramatic
Girl so is yo husband
I’d cheat on her too
Why her voice sounded like a man.
lol why is she acting so sad? Who cares lol.
