Priyanka Chopra Spoke Out About Being Asked To Get A "Boob Job" And How "Patriarchal" Hollywood Is

Priyanka Chopra’s memoir Unfinished will be released tomorrow, and she’s already been opening up about the stories she tells in the book.

“After a few minutes of small talk, the director/producer told me to stand up and twirl for him,” she wrote in the book. “I did. He stared at me long and hard, assessing me, and then suggested that I get a boob job, fix my jaw, and add a little more cushioning to my butt.”

“If I wanted to be an actress, he said, I’d need to have my proportions ‘fixed,’ and he knew a great doctor in LA he could send me to. My then-manager voiced his agreement with the assessment.”

“It’s so normalized that it doesn’t come up in conversation,” Chopra reflected to Metro UK about the treatment she received. “I talked about a movie that I walked out of because of how I was spoken to by the director. It was early in my career, but I never told him why I walked out.”

“I never had the courage to stand up for myself, and actually admit it. Because I heard so often, ‘Don’t be a nuisance, you’re new in the industry, you don’t want to have a reputation that you cause trouble or you’re not easy to work with.'”

“Yes, I faced that then, I faced that like everybody else when you’re in patriarchal industries, which ours has been for a very long time.”

Chopra will be sharing more of her experiences and wisdom when Unfinished hits shelves.
