The fact that she really thought she would be able to do press runs for her new book and no one would ask about her husbands allegations she shouldve been prepared for that.
She thought he still influences the network and she’ll only have questions that suits her
@@BN2K or she just needs advisors who are smarter, or more forthright with her (I'm thinking lack of one or the other is what happened)
it's all an act
@@jenkornblum3795 right . Somehow she wants to pretend she found God all of a sudden to distract from the fact of all the stuff her husband did.
@@BN2K you would think from her being a interviewer herself on the talk people never stick to the questions that were agreed on people will ask whatever they want once those cameras come on . She shouldve just released the book and promoted it on social media.
As a woman, I hate to see other women hide their head in the sand. Wake up, sister, be strong enough to question it and address it. Trust me, the issue will crop up again if you don't.
Yeah! The only reason for this interview is because of the complaints against your husband! No body cares about your personal retreat to find God after all your dirt of whatever you’ve done.
The problem is "believe all woman" blindly. iIt false and the world is waking up to it, as 30% allegations are false according to brnt turvey scientific research and many others
Geez...What a shallow and vague interview! every time the reporter asked a genuine question she kept saying that's not what we're here to talk about when it is obviously what people want to know. How did she manage to stay with this man... believe him and/or forgive him? Or maybe she had to forgive the public and the women who accused her husband ...? That is where she could have shared about her supposed journey with God and how God helped her to do that. BUT Clearly she's there to sell a book because she kept wanting to go back to the topic of the book. That is not how a Christian operates!! A newly born again Christian mentions the word sin and how we are all sinners and we all deserve forgiveness and she would have put herself in that category and included her husband but instead she's in such denial. You don't just find God to help you sell a book Julie! People can find peace in many other ways and that is not the Biblical reason for accepting Christ.. I can't believe she sat there with a serious face and tried to deny the me too movement and pretend that her husband was not a part of that. Just because she is able to live with what happened in her public life and to somehow choose to believe that her husband is innocent doesn't mean she knows God... she could also be smoking something that makes her relax she could also be taking meds!! Some people can create a sense of Peace just by believing an outright lie as long as they believe it strongly enough. For her to try and sell God as an antidote to her crazy private life is wrong! What a shame and a wasted interview..Smh.
Most religions sell a God of conditional love - one who has favorites and who damns - the opposite of the Creator who loves us all equally, eternally, immensely and without exception.
(So busy judging...so busy: the MO of fundamentalists.)
I felt similar to your reaction at first, but then I remembered her overriding focus must be her son. I bet she is taking the higher road and not getting into the metoo stuff to save him hearing it. Also, she is a victim too. Better to turn to God than the bottle, right? I don't think she's trying to whitewash husband's actions as much as to protect her boy. JMO
I think she is being honest with her journey since all that has happened. Not every women divorces her husband just when things go bad. And believing in God and turning to God is very real because God is all mighty !!!
Totally agree 👍🏾
Your points are valid. Two things came to mind however. The alleged activities of her husband occurred before they got together; her response would have looked different if he was doing those things while married to Chen. Second, there could be legal limits on what she is permitted to say about the matter. Anything anyone says can be used in court for example if there were charges brought against him.
Good for her. But the refusal to respond to the question of ‘Me, Too’ does not appear to support her claim of caring for others as part of her faith. I respect the need for boundaries, but resorting to a blanket sermon of ‘God first’ feels sadly similar to those TV Christians of the past who avoided transparency at all costs.
Well said!
Truth and transparency provide healing that Jesus Christ died to give Christians.
Christianity has a long history of abuse, from Aboriginal Industrial/ Residential Schools to the Irish Laundries, to the current predation by the Catholics, Baptists, LDS etc.... Lori Vallow, Josh Duggar, Ruby Franke. etc.
Crime & other wrongdoing by the church is offloaded, and the victim is told it was their fault. So is any of this really a surprise that Julie refuses to get real, but turns to religion?
😊
metoo is over amber heard finished it, LOL
She’s has to pretend her husband isn’t a predator in order to keep her sanity. You can tell she can barely keep the wall of lies up when asked about her husband
🎯
Pretty accurate comment.
You mean by sanity to keep the money the house is the clothing in the vacations
More like keep the LIFESTYLE.
@@xiomanaxoxoxo3212 that bob ain’t cheap
Girl, let's be real here.
Ppl make flase allegations all the time, who knows what is real you dont and i don't.
I don’t believe she didn’t know about her husband’s actions. Same goes for Harvey Weinstein’s ex wife.
Money buys the bling.. The bling blinds the eyes to infidelity..
He had all the power she’s damn near a victim too
@@mo6live She chose to see him when he was still married to another woman. She’s no victim.
Of course she knew but now she’s trying to gaslight and deceive by sacrilegiously using God. She’s no follower.
Why not people create two or three lives and nobody knows about the other person or family.
I love when people find God after shit hits the fan publicly
I don't know why but it never gets any less funny when people do it. As predictable as it is.
They think they can’t find better. Husband
So convenient 😂😂😂
sarcastically?
Sometimes that’s when people really need God. When the world you thought you knew crumbles and you have to cling to God.
Good that she's found faith and God... however she should lose the husband 😮
I'm sure it will happen, these cheaters never change.
your misandrist scum
Oh please, like we can’t see through this bs
Exactly
Her husband was accused of some horrific, violent actions against women, and three of the women he admitted to having a relationship with. Also, he and CBS execs paid off a police captain to conceal the allegations. How can she be in such denial? I'd have more respect if she'd admit to what he did but found a way to forgive him than just not believing these women or the findings of the AG.
Got to also remember that Julie got with her now husband when he was married to his first wife.julie was the side piece for quite sometime.
Her cryptic "I know my husband", without saying anymore or any less seemed like a blind eye acknowledgment to me.
And it may be shallow of me to say this,.. But maybe she only found God in 2018 to try to reconcile because she was not about to give up that lifestyle that he affords her....🤷🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️
She choose to not believe the women so she can keep her status, and family. It’s a complete disregard for the truth but now wants people to think she’s a “Godly person” when all she’s doing is looking out for herself only
@@SirenScorpiototally agree. It’s all about her status and lifestyle
Julie has nothing to do with her husband’s allegations. I’m not going to judge her. I wouldn’t want my family split up either.
Did she really think she was going to talk to a real news journalist for the first time since her husband's allegation, and they wouldn't address it?
Julie deserves the grilling, she's morally bankrupt. good job
Yeah maybe morally
Definitely not literally
She followed that money
Oh you know her? DIDN'T think so
Spirtual bypassing at it finest, lack of accountability and delusional.
Finding out that you're married to a sex predator and choosing to stay with him because of his wealth and power would make suddenly believe in Bronze Age mythology, too!
Exactly! Did you see how tightly she controlled the narative, then adding a story about her son being asked questions, then her telling him he knows them and knows his parents are innocent (paraphrasinga bit), imho, she's there to sell a book and she's there to spread positive misinformation about her sex predator on his innocence. Nope God is not here today, but you can buy her book!
Exactly 😂
I'll never understand a woman who stands by a sexual predator. Gross.
Same it’s fucking disgraceful.
He is Rich.
She is using God now to gaslight when in reality she only cares about herself and her husband’s money
Money talks, is a different type of prostitute 😮 it really is. She is all about money
We all know why she stays with him
Wow. So she had a “come to Jesus” moment. Nice. And she doesn’t need fellowship at all with any believers, just that nice Eden-like bamboo garden with all its fancy zenlike amenities. How lovely. How rich of her.
Sheeeesh, I feel terrible for her children. Her son that was told outright the allegations aren't true, teaches him such a tragic lesson.
What if they aren't true? Or do you "believe all women"?
its a good lesson dont believe all woman cause they talk, revenge and anger and apranoia are all motives to lie or fame money etc
She straight up sounds like a Stepford Wife.
Because she is.
I love Julie. But this does not feel like a spiritual awakening. It seems like a trauma response. And spiritual side stepping. Not willing to face the real issues. ❤ keep going Julie. ❤
💯
Agree. Praying for her
Exactly. It’s reality shattering when betrayal happens & if there’s a way to avoid that we’ll often subconsciously or consciously do anything but to face the hell. Sadly though cognitive dissonance will send you insane and make you sick, and like that lady said, the behaviour will continue to a point where you can’t pretend to yourself any longer.
😊❤
This is PR
Applause to JuJu Chang for the interview and I am missing authenticity and honesty from Mrs. Moonves. At the top of the interview she spoke about who she used to be before finding God and mentions vanity from her lush garden, and rather grandiose living room, with the full Glam-Squad affect make-up and hair. Does forgiving her husband need to be such a public display of "look at me now."
Wow! She knew how to answer those hardball questions like a politician! SMH
Exactly, Julie is there to distract from truth or any deep questions, but hey I found God and let's only talk about him, not very Godly when you use a story with your son, telling him not to worry about what others think because you know us and our innocence (paraphrasing a bit). Kinda makes my skin crawl.
❤😊
I know believe all women! they never lie! theres never a motive like anger revenge being lsighted, fame money etc nope
I'm sorry, Julie is full of it. I'm not buying it.
Ah yes, the oldest trick in the book. Use religion and all it's tactics to scapegoat any responsibility and feel better about yourself. Sure, she is not responsible for her husbands alleged misdeeds. But her stance is very irresponsible, and lacks any substance. (Granted, maybe there is more to this whole subject in the privacy of her own home. But maybe, don't go public years after a major scandal, and not expect valid concerns and questions)
Perfect comments!!! They all find God, don't they?
shame on her denying the victims coming forward. Where is your god while he’s harassing women?
Absolutely disgusting. Just shows she doesn't care about Moonves's victims.
she is crazy af now
No thank you. She was a nightmare for everyone at CBS. Imagine having the wife on Who was Your boss having a position of power at a talk show with different opinions and no one could be themselves or even argue a different opinion for fear of loosing their jobs. This was the best thing that could happened to CBS.
That Christianity facade is not fooling anyone. She was fully aware of Her husband’s inappropriate actions. She just wants to comeback to television at any cost.
It's giving pathetic
She’s seems snakier than before
She is in denial
Stabbed in the back by who?? Your husband??? Blaming everybody else for your problems except your husband.
Welcome Back, Mrs. Robin Roberts! 😄 Congratulations again and I couldn't wish more positive things for you and your beautiful newly wed union 🎉
💜💜💜
She lost me when she said she was stabbed in the back. l cut it off after that comment.. All l can say is Juile Chen, who is a grow ass woman. If she chooses to live that lie. it's her right..
I think it was quite manipulative (on the side of Julie Chen Moonves) to have this interview be with JuJu Chang). I think she was hoping that JuJu wouldn't address it at all because she knows that JuJu most likely has admired her career as one the first (after Connie Chung) and far too few asian women in broadcast journalism. I'm glad JuJu still addressed the scandal surrounding her husband - who has a long, well documented history of awful behavior towards women and people of color.
Most wives DON’T know their husband! Including myself, married for 30 years!
Poor lady. Why did he put her through that if he loved her, smh. Seems she is in denial.
She's full of it. Her husband is a monster. Jesus won't change that. Her refusal to acknowledge and address the horrific actions committed by her husband makes her complicit. Where is her sympathy for the victims? She deserved to be terminated from The Talk.
Perfect example of spiritual bypassing.
I may be reading between the lines, but it sounds to me like she questioned her husband and she knows him so yes or no, she’s aware. I’m with her; I would be telling my kid the same. Believe none of what you hear, family business stays home. Assuming she has found Christ, she’s right to stay with her husband and she’s right to be hyper-focused on who she can really trust, God. All I’m saying is she doesn’t owe us the dirty details. Maybe that’s his story to tell?
@3:57 is shy of an eye roll and deflection to an excellent question!
Talk about denial…
He did it. 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Wonder if she’ll interview with CBS
I don't believe anything that came out of her mouth. Even the prayer. Oh, Hollywood!
The interviewer asked good questions, challenging Julie. She could not answer
It demonstrates real arrogance to deflect very important questions when her own husband began an affair with her while he was still married to his wife, Nancy Moonves. Julie and Les's marriage began as an affair, and I don't believe for a second that he is innocent. God isn't going to protect you from the ugly truth of your husband's character, you just carefully craft a safe bubble around yourself called "religion" to avoid the pain.
i thought she was wild for using his name after the scandal. she’s even more so now with this religion craziness
Julie, no, talking about the scandal or the “me too movement” IS NOT getting off track. You are pitching a book that came about and is directly tied to those issues. Stop playing naive, superior and condescending. You wanted the book, so you’ve gotta do the leg work. This includes talking about WHY this book came about.
I wish you the best Julie Chen. Hang on to God because he is all you have at the end of the day. God bless you.
She’s using the faith and the name of God to manipulate people about the fact of the matter that she’s condoning a predator just because of the lifestyle and status it provides her. She doesn’t want to give up on what he provides her no matter what the circumstances are
True spiritual conversion is admitting you're a sinner and confessing sins before Jesus beomes Lord and then Savior of your life. For all have sinned and fall short of God's glory.
She’s not been honest! Just want to sale a book.
It's real suspicious to me how she really thought she could have a come to Jesus moment and used her husband's sexual allegations as an excuse. It doesn't seem genuine and she is not being honest with herself about this whole situation. Also i don't believe she was forced off The Talk, she chose to quit so she could avoid being confronted by her co-hosts about how she could stand behind somebody like that when she herself was outspoken about other folks being accused of similar things
She cares more about her faith than Moonves' victims. Shame on her!
I pray for healing in her family in Jesus name !
“My husband? Sexual assault? UH GOD JESUS HALLELUJAH LOOK I’M RELIGIOUS EVERYBODY CAN I GET AN AMEN???”
🤣 Basically. All that fake religion shit.
Dissapointed by her response regarding her husband
Thank you!
This chick?! 🤨 Thank God JuJu stayed on her neck and didn't let her slide. She's such a hypocrite.
Sorry....but she seems to be the type to cover such a horrible crime with "God" God this and God that. She knew her husband is a sicko....the fact that the there was several women coming out.
Great story. Thanks.
Man, what a strong woman! Amazing how she is putting herself out there. Beautiful! Also saw the Nightline interview. This is about her journey-not her husbands anyway. If anything, Julie is an influence on her husband and son. Too many families don’t stay together to work thru crises-leading to more brokenness. Families give up when things get tough. I commend her and respect her even more. Juju is an incredible journalist; love her interviews. She digs but she respects boundaries. Something many in the business don’t do
Such a well written response, God bless.
NEVER FEAR,
GOD IS NEAR.
I don't feel bad for her. He was "Married" when they started dating. SShe comes across as rude.
She slept her way too the top!
The poor thing has lost her mind!
Cry me a river
I would not buy the book. 😊 She is still full of herself. Was he not married when she started dating him.
Why is she getting hate for what her husband did? That was her husband’s actions, not hers. She’s not responsible for what her husband did.
The only reason she didn't left her husband is because he has money. I mean tons of money from his days at CBS.
You can’t talk about your life and not talk about your life, especially if you interviewed people for a living.
girl......
She doesn’t know the God she’s serving. She’s still defending and protecting her husband’s evil acts against those women.
God bless her!
A Chinese woman talking about christianity with all that cosmetic surgery. I want to hear more. Hallelujah.
She had to use God as a scape goat to avoid answering questions about her husband’s infidelity allegations. I feel if you do not want to talk about what your husband was accused of stay out of the line light and definitely do not write a book mentioning you were forced out of CBS. She’s playing the victim, those women who refused to continue working with her had every right.
So she still thinks her husband didnt cheat on her. Wow
Amen 🙏🏿 first God
Love it 🥰
She is in denial about her husband. Shame hope god shows her that a husband is supposed to be faithful, forgiving him well hope it is worth it
This moment right here: 2:58 says everything
omg...
Les Moonves is an absolute monster who needs to be locked up forever. I’ll never forgive him for ruining Janet Jackson’s career after the whole Super Bowl incident. I know he resigned from CBS but that isn’t enough. He needs to face justice for all the women he’s hurt. Julie needs to divorce his @ss.
Pure evil.
Les Moonves his time will come...they got Weinstein, Lauer, R Kelly, Cosby.....it's not over yet...not by a Longshot
Julie Chen MOONVES is in denial...she's so plastic...she wanted so badly to be non Asian...anyone who cuts their eyes is a sellout....l feel bad for her son...
Wow. Welcome to the family of believers! God bless you
May God Bless her and her family.❤️☝️♥️
If he had a 9-5 paycheck, she would have been long gone
I would love to believe her, but when she sidestepped perfectly understandable questions, it makes me question her sincerity. There's just something about her demeanor that makes me to not believe her. Like she's not being truthful enough.
I don't think the interviewer was asking about the truthfulness of the allegation's for gossipy or press reasons. Anyone would want to know if it's true. Even if it IS true, she could explain how her family is working through it with the help of her faith.
It just left a bad taste to me that she said "we're not here to talk about that", etc.
She is not ready to honestly talk so she can keep her book in the attic
God Bless America
cringe religious craziness
Women can be so nasty to each other. She was definitely pushed out of the show. She was my favorite on that show, and it’s never been the same since. I don’t even watch it anymore.
So glad she knows Christ today. ❤ loved listening to her book. Wish her nothing but the best.
Yeah she's was my favorite and I don't watch it now.
Do u really believe she was pushed out
@@yay6586 absolutely!
I agree. The Talk went down the tubes after Julie left. Julie was the only intelligent person on the show. Look who's at the head of the table now, Sheryl Underwood!!!!?????
I’m also a God lover in Christ Jesus! So Happy for you Julie my sister in Christ👏👏🙌🙏🙏🙏🥰
give me a break
Religious people are so gullible it's actually sad.
Im glad she found God. A personal relationship is the best! She does need to go to church on Sundays though as he asks.
She makes it clear she doesn't want to talk about it, but if she were the reporter she was prior she would have asked those uncomfortable questions. She may be using religion to help her deal with the pain her husband has caused, but she also needs to address the women who have made the claims or read their information on their claims against her husband for her own freedom. Maybe they aren't true maybe they are, but as any women knows she needs to confront it.
Quite disingenuous on her end. Spiritual bypassing is a trauma response and I hope she finds TRUE healing in building a relationship with herself and not by shielding her husband with this book.
Wow, this feels SO disingenuous ...wake up sweetie
Now she sharing his last m name after all these years
It’s giving fake….I wannna believe her and really support but this seems so much of an act
If she wants to stick by her husbad i respect that but she also might have to accept people might have criticism. People do so much dirt and they are not even famous but im sure folks are still with those people but i will say he is the resson Janet Jackson got treated the way she did so I'm not so quick to dismiss those accusations given how she was treated.
Welcome back, Robin!
I’m always skeptical of celebrities who claim to be new Christians while trying to sell a book. Seems like cashing in using God.
I don't think I've ever heard about this, didn't know who any of them are.
