Chelsea Does Review: Chelsea Handler explores drugs, marriage, racism in Netflix documentary

Former “Chelsea Lately” writer Heather McDonald recently said during an episode of the “Allegedly” podcast that she “100% lived in fear” during the eight years she worked for Chelsea Handler.

“My relationship with Chelsea ended”, said the 45-year-old, adding, “She wasn’t happy doing the show at the end”. I mean you’re grinding away and a million things happen and you’re not a decent individual consistently, but rather never like that. Despite this betrayal of trust, Handler kept McDonald on her show.

Chelsea Handler stopped by The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon to talk about her new four-part Netflix documentary series, Chelsea Does, when she casually mentioned that time she got really stoned with Willie Nelson.

Though known for her blunt, honest style, Handler said she never says anything just for shock value. “It’s not an internment camp, she can quit”.

Heather McDonald has more than a few choice words for her former pal Chelsea Handler. I think they’re good for the thought process’.

At the same time, Handler also dished on McDonald’s comments about living in fear. “I really still can’t open my eye”, she embellished. “I wasn’t paranoid, I just withdrew from that whole social scene – I withdrew from her“, Handler said. “But you did not go after her because the NAACP would have been protesting outside the E! channels the next day, asking for your head”, Aoki argues.

‘The worst part was, as an interviewer I’m supposed to be interviewing him, ‘ she said. Handler occupies an awkward place in the current conversations about gender and comedy, or rather just outside of them; she often goes conveniently unmentioned whenever the question of why we don’t have a female late-night host comes up once again, because even though she has been and likely will be a very successful one, she’s also not the kind most people making those critiques have in mind. “She would never, cause she’s f-king scared, and she should be.she’s a loser”. Handler claims that McDonald traded personal stories about her with Us Weekly in order to get the magazine to run pictures of herself. (The episode’s conclusion, however, is one of the most manufactured beats of the entire series.) Things get similarly real when Handler travels to Ashley Madison headquarters in “Chelsea Does Marriage“.

Like a couple of DeGeneres guests in the past couple of months, Handler also attended the wedding of Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux.

In “Chelsea Does“, Handler explores four topics: marriage, drugs, silicon valley and racism.

“I feel like I had too much”, Maurio replies, looking sweaty and scared.
