It's not the 90s anymore. A lot actresses make a ton of money not acting but through social, appearances, etc.

I don't have an opinion on the whole surrogacy thing one way or the other cause I just don't know care enough about this situation to ponder it, but saying she doesn't have a career just case you don't know what she's up to isn't accurate.



Tons of nobodies are TikTok or Insta famous and get paid. A million followers isn’t really a lot. It doesn’t make them celebs, and it certainly doesn’t prompt them to go the surrogacy route to protect their “career.”

If only one or two people on dcum recognized her name, then she isn’t truly famous.

Her surrogacy and ppd stories smack of a desperate pr move.

She’s trying really hard to make fetch happen.


I think her lack of notoriety actually makes her more likely to be accommodating to shooting schedules and saying yes to any project that came up. Scarlett Johannsen refused to walk the red carpet for her own major franchise movie while heavily pregnant. That was a choice she made. Someone like Jamie Chung wouldn't have had that choice. She needs to be available whatever the cost in order to secure the next contract.

Right, but Jaime is interviewed all the time in People and Us. I subscribe to both and regularly see her, and in fact knew all about the fact that she was prepping for IVF or whatever. She's on a lot of red carpets etc. It's pretty clear companies pay her to wear their stuff, post and talk about it, or whatever.

And it's a fact that having over a million followers means you get paid for certain posts. There are a lot of mommy bloggers making a good living who are a lot less famous than Jaimie (she also has a celeb husband which I'm sure helps).


I checked her Instagram - she really needs to do better with subtlety. Like you couldn't get a flashlight or a product and use the Duracell batteries in a casual way and say 'Oh, these batteries are a lifesaver, I don't know what I'd do without my bottle warmer on late nights?'

Wasn’t her last gig a teeny tiny role on the Dexter reboot?

I’m not sure that’s a legit career.

I mean, Caitriona Balfe was able to do sex scenes while heavily pregnant shooting the last season of Outlander.

Remember soap operas? Remember all the big purses Kristian Alfonso carried when not standing behind a tall chair or potted plant?

Honestly, I think her biggest concern should be her giant forehead and thinning hairline.

Its a career because Hollywood is more than just the lead actor or actress. There's something called a cast.

Hollywood will accommodate (sometimes) a lead character who is in every episode. The friend of the friend of the main character who is an avid hiker and just shows up every 4th episode however can just be re-cast easily.

Since she clearly has a hang up with her body/weight, I bet she easily could have been one of those gals who only gains 18 lbs while pregnant and never wears maternity clothes.

This “issue” was in her head.

DP. Plenty of actual famous women with larger social media followings post photos taken before pregnancy during pregnancy. Kylie Jenner did it. She didn’t want to be pregnant but did want a little bit of press.

Gabby Union was pretty open about being infertile. It wasn’t for her career.

Or she could have been diagnosed with pre-eclampsia and ordered to do bed rest by a doctor. You never know what you'll get.

I vaguely only knew who she was because she used to attend San Diego State University (SDSU) years back & was in a study group w/my younger Sister.

She wasn’t famous then - I think shortly after that she was on an MTV reality show.
Or so she told everyone on campus.

For her to use a surrogate because she feared she would lose work shows she is in no way Mother material.
Harsh, I know but being a parent is all about SACRIFICE.
Period.

If a parent is not willing to give up part of her life for a child, then sadly that child will always come second to whatever their Mother desires.
And this is just sad.

And it’s not like this person was an A-list celebrity such as Meryl Streep or Julia Roberts!?? 🤭

Didn't she have a DUI arrest? Was boozing and driving part of her intense "career" too or was that a time when she should have had children.

Amen to this.

Yep, DUI.

She’s also a germaphobe which tells us she has MH issues.

I believe she is still claiming the egg used for that baby was hers, right? Which I find VERY hard to believe. I'm sure it was her husband's sperm, I don't think it was her egg.

Asian women have smaller builds and I don't think she would have liked her post-partum body (no one does). Nothing wrong with wanting to avoid sagging everything.

Her unwillingness to carry a child because she didn’t want to potentially sag or potentially impact her career speaks volumes about her character and mental health.

Plenty of celebs have babies and their bodies bounce back.

Plenty of non-celebs with unhealthy body issues take drastic steps to only gain 20lbs (if that) and immediately start dieting afterwards.

Her rationale for surrogacy is next level cray-cray.
