So many women have messaged Chalene privately about her facelift, and this episode dives into exactly why she decided to be open about it — and what's surprised her most about people's reactions. From there, she takes a sharp turn into a true crime documentary that's been haunting her ever since she watched it: the story of actress Eva LaRue and her long-time stalker. Chalene breaks down the case like only she can, with a mix of compassion, disbelief, and questions no one else seems to be asking.
