Comedian Chelsea Handler has announced that she has finally moved into her Los Angeles home, which she purchased nearly five years ago from Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and actress Cheryl Hines. During her recent appearance on “Jimmy Kimmel Live”, Handler described the house as “toxic,” citing multiple issues that had delayed her move-in.


Handler, 51, has had a tumultuous experience linked to this property since its acquisition. She revealed that the state of the house was so poor that she was unable to reside there for an extended period. This update comes on the heels of her discussion about the problematic purchase on her podcast, “Dear Chelsea,” where she initially detailed the ongoing challenges she faced.
The comedian recalled her urgent need to clarify the house’s history during her interaction with Kimmel, who expressed surprise that she still owned a house in LA. As they discussed the purchase, Handler revealed her surprise at discovering she had bought it from RFK Jr. “I didn’t know I was buying it from RFK Jr. because it was a blind trust,” she explained, drawing laughter from the audience as she shared her bewilderment.
Handler’s experience with the house has been marred by what she claims were serious issues that went unnoticed during the inspection phase. “It took me four years to move in,” she told Kimmel. “There were a lot of problems with the house — I blame him — and that didn’t get caught during inspection. And a lot of drama with the house.”
With a touch of humour, she added, “I have chlamydia, herpes, and what else does he have? Oh, measles.” Handler’s lighthearted approach masked the frustration she endured over the years. She informed viewers that she had only just settled into her new home the day before recording the episode.
In a twist of fate, Handler also recounted a note she received from Hines shortly after her purchase, thanking her for buying their former home. This revelation further underscored the disbelief Handler felt upon realising whom she had purchased the property from. “Oh no! I bought RFK Jr.’s house?” she exclaimed, stressing the irony of her situation.
Earlier this month, Handler disclosed on her podcast that the house was in a “toxic” state that had rendered it unliveable. “I still have not lived in this house. That’s how f—ed up this house was,” she stated candidly. Her remarks unveiled the disillusionment she felt regarding the purchase, which she claimed had been riddled with unforeseen complications.
Handler elaborated on the problematic environment, stating that upon inspection, she was informed it was “the most toxic environment” and not habitable for at least two years. “I’m not exaggerating. It was a disaster,” she insisted, expressing her frustration over the concealment of the house’s issues prior to her acquisition.
To compound the existing worries, Handler discovered what she describes as an illegal modification made to the property by the previous owners. As the inspections progressed, she learned of an outdoor storage unit that had supposedly been there since her purchase, which had not been disclosed to her. “So now we have to remove his illegal bulls—t from my property, and I’m like, how did they not find this upon the first inspection?” she questioned indignantly.
Handler’s updates on her home journey serve as a reminder of the potential pitfalls in property transactions, particularly when they involve seemingly minute details that can escalate into significant issues. Moving forward, the comedian appears optimistic as she finally begins to settle into her controversial new abode.
