Blac Chyna is keeping candid about this new chapter in her life.
For those who haven’t been keeping up, the 34-year-old model now wants to go by her birth name: Angela White. She’s been making some physical and lifestyle changes to that end, including getting her facial fillers dissolved, having her Breast and butt implants removed, ditching her OnlyFans account, and reconnecting with her faith. It’s been a lot of change for Chyna, but she hasn’t shied away from being very open with her fans about this process over the past couple of weeks.

But when it comes to her two children, Dream Kardashian and King Cairo, whom she shares with exes Rob Kardashian and Tyga respectively, she hasn’t been telling them about this new stage of her life. Instead, Chyna explained on Thursday’s The Tamron Hall Show that she’s simply leading “by example” for her kids:
“You know, I haven’t really told them anything. I just lead by example. Like if I’m working out, they work out with me. I ask them to come to church with me. They’re like, ‘How far is it?’ And I’m like, ‘Oh God.’ Because it’s actually really far. I drive an hour and five minutes to my church and an hour and thirty minutes back every Sunday.”
When asked about her decision to reverse her cosmetic procedures, the social media personality shared she had “so many negative things” in her life and wanted to get rid of them:
“A lot was going on in my life, honestly. Like, I had so many negative things that were being attached to me, and to my body and my soul and to my mind, to whereas though it would affect, like, my day-to-day and just different things in my life.”
As for why she had chosen to get plastic surgery done many years ago? Chyna believes now it came down to her “insecurities” and yielding to “what was kind of in at that moment,” explaining:
“You know, like being in the industry, you want to have this image of yourself to look perfect, you know. And there’s no such thing as that. There’s no such thing.”
She then noted that her job as an exotic dancer influenced her decision as well:
“I was an exotic dancer for six years from the ages of 18 to 24 years old. And being inside the strip club or the gentleman’s club, you’re looking around, I’m super young, I’m looking at the women like, I’m looking at myself like, ‘Okay, that’s not it. This is not gonna make the money. This is not gonna do it.’ So, I felt the pressures of trying to hurry up and build my body when I should’ve just waited until I was older because that’s gonna happen. At 19, 18 years old, your body’s not developed. And you know, in my mindset, I wasn’t thinking about that, and nobody was telling me, you know, right from wrong.”
Chyna added:
“It was the golden ticket. I was not worried about it [the health risks] at all because at the time this wasn’t something that regular women could get. It was only in the trans community. So this is a long time ago, you guys. You have to think, that was what? 2007?”
And now? The momma of two said she is “done” with plastic surgery for good:
“I’m done with it y’all. No more.”
Some of the other things she’s dropped from her life so far have been OnlyFans and club events — she says she’s no longer interested in that life:
“I been stopped a lot of that stuff, but I just never was vocal about it. I been stopped my OnlyFans all the way in December. I just didn’t really speak about it. I been stopped doing hostings at clubs and all of these things. I been stopped doing certain posts that I didn’t want to do anymore with like certain products and things like that. I was quietly pulling out.”
We continue to wish her nothing but the best for Chyna — sorry, Angela — amid all of these lifestyle changes. You can check out her interview with Tamron Hall (below):
