There is a lot to write about Julie Chen, who supported her CBS head honcho husband's, Les Moonves', adulterous life to maintain her media status in CBS. She hosted, or fascistically ruled, her crew and co-hosts at the CBS daytime gabfest talk show The Talk (and WHO thought up that mildly pornographic name??) through fear of repercussions from her powerful husband for anyone who digressed from her views (and wishes, and desires). Moonves had put Chen, his wife, it worth repeating, at the helm of The Talk. Two women were actually fired in the early days of The Talk because they grumbled about these nepotistic arrangements.
Chen left, or quit, when Moonves' historic indiscretions began to surface, even after their marriage, leaving her pathetic feminists minions at odds on how to deal with her departure. Moonves, their big boss CBS, became the ire of the #MeToo movement, and yet here was his wife (who married him after an affair when he ditched his first wife) embroiled in the very lifestyle they decried.
Hypocrites (on all parties) doesn't even begin to cover it.
Chen still runs that creepy Big Brother, another Moonves enterprise, where she earned her second-rate fame before The Talk, where psychopathic and sociopathic contestants live in the same house, with no exit, performing various "challenges" until there is a last man standing to carry off the 1 million dollar cash prize.
Sartre would have cringed at this appropriation. "Huis Clos! C'est pour l'éternité!!!" he would have wailed in his shocked French manner about his literary living arrangement. Not some exit with a cash prize.
Chen is pretty much how Asian women behave. They prefer to be in the background rather than upfront and target-prone, as Chen eventually became on The Talk. What exactly would they (she) stand for, and how would they defend their "positions" when pressed?
Clearly Chen was no champion for the American Woman. She was perfectly happy as the wife of serial adulterer Moonves (although she pretended to be some free woman) cashing in on all the spoils.
But the joke's on us (and all those minions). She was the ultimate "Big Brother" waiting out for the big cash prize. "But where's our Big Sister!!??" would wail her co-hostesses. She's run off with the money.
