Chelsea Handler Claims Heather McDonald 'Betrayed' Jennifer Aniston Before New Show?
Amidst the buzz over her new show in Netflix entitled "Chelsea Does," Chelsea Handler is making headlines over dissing comedienne Heather McDonald for purportedly "betraying" her.
Handler's fans may find it hard to focus on her new Netflix show because of various reports about her feud with her fellow comedienne.
According to Heather McDonald, she purportedly "lived in fear" all throughout the years she has worked as a writer for Chelsea Handler's former show, "Chelsea Lately."
"I lived in fear, 100 percent lived in fear," Heather McDonald said in "Allegedly" podcast, as quoted by People.
"I enjoyed my time there, I was happy, but I mean something would happen and my heart would be beating and I would be like, 'Is this it?' - you know? And then somehow I just managed to keep surviving."
Despite being busy for her new show on Netflix, Handler addressed McDonald's claims and said her former writer purportedly sold stories about her to the tabloids.
"I could have fired her. I did not fire her. She had a job for four more years," Handler said in Howard Stern's SiriusXM radio show.
"I never hung out with her personally again. So I hope she was living in fear. It's not an internment camp. If you're living in that much fear, go get another job."
Chelsea Handler went on to claim that Heather McDonald was very interested in her personal life and who she hangs out with. Handler even mentioned one particular celebrity - Jennifer Aniston.
"You know, she's somebody who would love to hear about Jennifer Aniston's house on the weekend. I could never, ever share my personal life with her again," Handler added.
Jennifer Aniston and Chelsea Handler have been good friends for years now. Handler previously talked about how she respects her friends' value for privacy.
"My friends who are really private, whether they're famous or not, I won't talk about them," Handler said in 2014, as quoted by Daily Mail.
Chelsea Handler's new show on Netflix premieres on Saturday.
