Emmy-award winning journalist and TV host Julie Chen Moonves credits her newfound relationship with God for allowing her to persevere through a turbulent personal era, after her life was turned upside down by sexual misconduct allegations against her husband, Les Moonves, then CEO and chairman of CBS.

On September 24, 2009, Chen gave birth to their son, Charlie. In September 2013, during the first week of Season 4 of The Talk, Chen revealed that she had undergone blepharoplasty early in her career after being pressured by her previous news director and a high-profile agent to look less Asian.

This version of the game was only played for one eviction cycle, meaning Julie was the only houseguest to be evicted. Julie was also the first to enter the house, and could be considered a victim of the First to Enter Curse.

Julie married her husband Leslie Moonves in 2004; however, she didn't add Moonves to her name publicly until 2018. At the time of her sudden name change, Leslie, the former CEO of CBS, was being accused of multiple sexual harassment allegations, ultimately leading to his resignation.
